Drop down sub-categories in product_listing.php

[ecopeia]

I hope someone is willing to take up my cause...please? LOL.

 

Ok, what I am looking for is a way to display all sub-category products under a main category on the product_listing page when a customer clicks on the main category link. But...I do not really want to do this by linking all the sub-category products to the main cateogry - unless there is no other way.

 

For example:

 

Mr. X clicks on Video Games. I have 4 sub-categories beneath it for Xbox, Playstation, PS2 and gamecube. When Mr. X clicks on Video Games, I want him to see a page that displays all the products from Xbox, Playstation, PS2 and gamecube and I want to have a drop down menu that takes him to the sub-category product_listing results.

 

Is this possible? And if so, could someone help me? I figure if everybody pitched in a bit of code I will be eternally grateful. I'm crossing my fingers.

 

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for something very similar. categories.php is a bit confusing and i couldn't get very far with modifying it. But as always with theses things, you bang your head against the wall for hours then bang it all falls into place.

 

If i have any break throughs i'll post em up and if anyone else out there can lend a hand i would be very grateful

I think your looking for the "Cool Menu" contrib. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what your after. Search on Cool Menu in the contributions section.
