    Thanks,
    but in any case and if I didn't missed something, the proposed adds-on allow to expends the category box to the product level (all the tree)
    I didn't find a way to expend to selected level: for me Categories and sub-categories, only 2 levels.

    Thanks for help

    Default Re: Show Subcategories All The Time

    How about the following mod.
    Zen Cart Categories. Show Subcategories All The Time.
    A Replacment Categories Tree for the zen-cart Shopping System. It will uncollapse all Subcategories.

    And the demo,
    http://shop.frankfurt.it/

    But please NOTED, it is only for the old version of ZC and modifications may needed.

    OK,
    I won't have time to test it now, but the result of the exemple is exactly what I was looking for.
    I found an issue with "yahoo_tmenu_zc_1.2.7_0.1b" proposed in your previous links by deactivating the build product branch fonctions in php files.
    I'll install this new release soon.

    Thanks

    Thank you for the mod. It does appear to do exactly what I want to do too. One minor issue to report is that the "categories subcategories indent" appears to be printing twice. In my case, I use a nonbreaking space, then an asterix, then another nonbreaking space. If you look at my work-in-progress site, http://www.decaldepot.net/zencart you'll see that each category has " * * " before each.

    Any advise on how to 'fix' this?

    We should thank Christoph Handel for his contribution.
    I forgot his member's name and the topic should be in the old forum archive somewhere.

    I have tried to update the file and it seems without your problem in a brief test.
    You can try my file as link follow:
    ch_category_1.3x.zip


    Please feed back for any problem!
    If no problem will submit to the download area later.

    There are only two php files of the mod and two docs, one is readme.txt and the other is gnu license.txt.

    The installations should within half minute.
    Including one setup in admin
    => Tools => Layout Boxes Controller => sideboxes/ch_categories.php

    Then enable and config the sort order of => sideboxes/ch_categories.php
    Or
    If you don't like two Categories Sideboxes Co-Existing
    Then Disable / Config the sort order of => sideboxes/categories.php

    Attached is the screen capture of the default display of the un-collapse Ch_Categories Sidebox (only show the upper portion), for your preview and run under v1.3.5.

    Default Re: always display subcategories in sidebox

    Wow thank you so much for that i managed to get it to work straight away. I was wondering, would there be a way to get rid of the numbers that tell you how many items are in a category, example: jewellery (12). And also how could you modify the |_ before each subcategory?
