Simple problem with category display

[oaybar007]

I have a really simple objective for displaying my store categories and I am really stuck. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.


Here's the problem.

I am building a sports jewelry website and the categories are in the following format.

NFL-> (Top Level | Sport or League)
Arizona Cardinals(Level 2| Teams)
Atlanta Falcons ----->
Charms & Pendants(Subcategories)
Cuff Links
Tie Tacs
Earrings
Bracelets


I have a menu that breaks out into only two levels. I have set it up so that all other levels will not be displayed on the menu via the css display: hidden selector.

Level one is the main category (NFL)
Level two is the team (Arizona Cardinals etc.)

When a visitor selects a top level category whether it be Level 1 (NFL) or Level 2(Teams) I need the page that comes up to display all subcategories.

If a visitor selects NFL or any other sport it would be all the teams under that sport.
If a visitor selects a team from the list it would be all the product categories under that team. (Charms & Pendants, Cuff Links etc.)

I cannot for the life of me find any information on accomplishing this on the forums or in the tutorial sections. It is very common practice to display categories like this so I must be missing something very simple in the Admin panel.

heres the url of the site in progress:

Any help is appreciated.

There is no admin setting for displaying all of a category's sub-subcats when the category is selected. You will need one of the expanded category tree mods, and then some customizing to limit it to the current top cat. There have been several threads on various category display limits.

Only shoe current category subcategories

subcategories only in sidebox main categories top, especially post 22.

Thank you for those resources. That logic is exactly what I am after. I will let you know how it works.

Thanks again.
