Hey Matt, there are two threads in one here. I was interested in the filtering of Out of Stock products.

Matt Zimmermann I try to only use natively available functionality. Once there is an inherit way to filter out of stock products, it will be available in the themes.

Perhaps we should start a thread related just to the filtering of In Stock / Out of Stock products?

[Matt Zimmermann]

I'll check in on that.

lesliekirk I've confirmed that filtering our of stock as a facet is still on the roadmap.

Thanks Matt.

Do you have any more specific timing on this?
A mega-menu is such a foundational UI component these days -- almost every Shopify or BigCommerce theme comes with this out-of-the-box, so it's a bit of a gap with Miva right now having to hack something together in Shadows to do it.

[Matt Zimmermann]

samjnz No specific timing for now.

Inherently, mega-menus are cumbersome and there is no "one-size fits all" layout as the navigation intent and category structure vary from store to store. Additionally, there are accessibility concerns involved in a complex navigation structure. The initial goal, with adding this option to Shadows, is to create a basic structure that would be designed around a medium to large store, similar to Levels and Colossus.
