    Default Categories do not expand

    I'm using version 1.3.8 and there have been no addons added in several months. The following issue just cropped up recently.

    My sub-categories no longer show when clicking on the category in the sidebox. The little 'arrow' is there but it does no good.

    Here is the site:
    http://www.fas-products.com

    I searched the archives and found this one from two years ago.

    http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...s+sidebox+open

    However, I have not edited any core code in months. Also, my 'classic' template no longer works for some reason and so I am unable to test it that way. I have, however changed some Admin settings within the last week or so and I feel confident I have simply set something wrong.

    When I set the Admin - Layout Settings to always show subcategories they show up when the page loads, so I am sure they are active and in the correct place.

    Thanks, Dave

    Do you have Products mixed in with your Categories?

    A Category holds Categories or Products but not both ...

    Admin>Configuration>Layout Setting

    Categories - Always Open to Show SubCategories , set to 1

    this will allow you to open subcategories.

    Default Re: Categories do not expand

    Thanks Tony, I knew I'd done something but I couldn't remember what it was or where it was.

    This is my first customization job for ZC. I'll probably get it down real good and then v2.0 will come out!

    (I know this reply is a bit late but I just noticed that it's considered good form to let everyone know what worked, so I came back here)
