Thanks in advance for your help guys !

 

<?php

Heres a pic of the structure with in the ADMIN panel,

 

 

 

The website,

 

 

I do have items in both sub categories

[cooperman435]

I believe in your case that he subcategories should be shown in the main window only?

 

if you click on the main category do the sub categories then show in the side bar on the website?

 

I'm trying currently to get subcategories to show in the main window all the time. If there are products in the category also, the subcategories disappear and show only on the side bar and are missed by everyone.

Hi.

 

I'm having some similar issues.

 

• When I create a category it doesn't show up on the main screen with a picture, only in the tree-menu on the left
  
• When I create a sub-category I have the same problem. I've seen examples of how sub-categories should show (on the main screen with their picture) but again they just appear in the tree menu
  
• Is it possible to make sub-sub categories?
  
• Everything appears fine in the admin page where I create the categories and I have done everything right as far as I know - put in products in stock and given sub-categories names, pictures etc.
  

 

The categories do technically work, but can only be accessed through the tree-menu which is impractical and doesn't look good. From all the other sites I've seen they all have sub-categories showing on the main screen with pictures etc.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My website is www.bbworld.co.uk.

i hope this is the question you wanted answered. if i understand correctly you want people to be able to see the sub category images like it does with the main category on the top of the page. It's nothing you're doing wrong or nothing you screwed up, it just the way the site was designed. All you have to do is open up your index.php page and enter the following code underneath

 

// create column list
   $define_list = array('PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL' => PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME' => PRODUCT_LIST_NAME,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_MANUFACTURER' => PRODUCT_LIST_MANUFACTURER,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE' => PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY' => PRODUCT_LIST_QUANTITY,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_WEIGHT' => PRODUCT_LIST_WEIGHT,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE' => PRODUCT_LIST_IMAGE,
                        'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW' => PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW);

For me that was line 187 but i have made alot of changes to my admin page

 

 

Enter this code underneath

 

<table>

     $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");


   $number_of_categories = tep_db_num_rows($categories_query);

   $rows = 0;
   while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
     $rows++;
     $cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']);
     $width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%';
     echo '                <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) .

'</a></td>' . "\n";
     if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) {
       echo '              </tr>' . "\n";
       echo '              <tr>' . "\n";
     }
   }
</table>


     <tr>
       <td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>We are still undergoing major renovations to our website; as such many products are not yet available online. If there is a product you are looking for please email us via the contact us button on the top corner of the screen use the live help button to the left.
	<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING); ?></td>
     </tr>
     <!--- BEGIN Header Tags SEO Social Bookmarks -->

Sorry :blush: , I dont understand exactly what this code does. I want products to appear in categories that also have subcategories. Ie in the category page you have the products in that category at the top and underneath you have the sub category links (or vice versa). Is this what the code does?
