Change left hand menu to "TREE VIEW"

[Iniquityclothing]

hi folks, please take a look at my storefront (it was a template) click here as you will see all of my subcatagories are being displayed by default. all i want to see is the main root catagories.

the structure is correct ie not all of my items are in the root catagory. so what code would i need to change in order to have it shown as main catagories only.

i would imagine it is in /include/boxes/catagories.php but i dont no were to look??

 

Cheers folks :thumbsup:

Hey I think you need to get a fresh copy and install it again - your categories should not do that if you have them set up properly in the admin side.

they are set up fine if i paste a fresh copy of /includes/boxes/catagories.php everything displays just how i want it except my border and heading get all miss aligned?? here is the code of MY catagories.php.
