Blocks/Menus
Block/Menu is a block where you can insert any HTML codes. You will also be able to use the menu with predefined functions, for example, shopping cart, search filter, bestsellers, latest articles, and others.
Block/Menu can be used to create your own website style/design. For example, you can create a Site Header, place the necessary elements in it (Logo, Contacts, Site Navigation Links, Search Form, etc.) and write CSS styles for them in the design editor. Using blocks/menus, you can place scripts, including in meta tags, as well as enable/disable the display of this data on certain pages or devices. In most cases, you just need to use the Header and Footer/Bottom of the site, as well as, for example, the left or right Block/Menu to place the search filter. You can place site scripts in one Block/Menu, and place it, for example, in Service tags.
The menu block can be placed in 7 main parts of the site:
- «Site Header (Header)» – site header block, It is displayed above the main content block, inside the element «#hotengine-header».
- «Site Bottom (Footer)» - site footer block, It is displayed below the main content block, inside the element «#hotengine-footer».
- «Right» - The block is displayed on the right, next to the main content block, and does not go beyond the content.
- «Left» - the block is displayed on the left, next to the main content block, and does not go beyond the content.
- «Top» - The block is displayed at the top of the content, and does not go beyond its area.
- «Top > cat_tree» - The block is displayed at the top, directly below the category tree.
- «Bottom» - the block is displayed at the bottom of the content, and does not go beyond its area.
- «Service Tags before Body (Header Meta)» - the block is located under the service Meta tags, and can be used to insert JavaScript, Meta-tags and other service data.

In the menu text you can use additional Shortcodes to automatically replace data.
