How to show products in subcategories?

[peteyfrogboy]

I've got my products set up in categories and subcategories, but I want the subs to work more as filters than as separate groups. For example, I have a main category called "statues", with a sub called "cats" and a sub-sub called "angels". When I'm in the "statues" category, I only see statues that have no subcategory. When I'm in "statues/cats" I see all the cat statues, but no cat angels. What I want is to see all the statues from every category in "statues", and all cat statues in "statues/cats" and only cat angel statues in "statues/cats/angels". From looking at the code it seems that this is not a trivial request. Is there a contribution that can make it work?

I am trying to do something like this with my site too...

 

Please Help!!!

 

I do not want to have to add/link each product to multiple categories. I want the products assigned to a single sub-category, and have the website display every single product that is in or underneath the chosen category.

correction: "...have the website display every single product that is in AND underneath the chosen category."

I remember doing so with one shop, to narrow the search while traversing through the sub categories. I don't want to go into details, but just to give you a hint...

 

I replaced the 1st part of the index.php with a main part from the advanced_search_result.php file. Keep in mind the index.php exists mainly from 3 part: 1 for categories, 2 for manufactures and 3 the default index. Backup your files before experimenting!

Thanks! I was thinking along the same lines with doing a product search. I'll see what I can come up with given that hint. :thumbsup:

 

One question to start with though... is there a way to list all products without entering values for "Price From" and "Price To"?
