Make a page with a list of all subcategories

[enochian]

Hi
I would like to make a page to list all the sub categories. I can make a new page following these instructions http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ting_new_pages but I am not sure what to put in the header_php.php and the template file to do what I want. I assume I would have to add a query to the header and the results to show in the template.
Can any one help??

The page would look similar to the main page when you select the option to show categories on it, but I don't want it to be on the main page but a separate page.

I have searched the forum and checked for plugins but can't find the answers I need. I also tried using the About Us page mod but the same problem is I don't know how to get what I want displayed.

Any help greatly appreciated.

look at the sitemap page (or 404)

I still haven't figured out how to do this. Maybe if I explain a little better.

Say I have a category called Ink, then I have subcategories Red, Blue, Yellow, etc. When I click on Ink now it shows the name and link of each subcategory. What I would like is to click on Ink and it shows all the products in all the subcategories for ink. It would look similar to clicking on the All Products link but instead of showing all products it only shows all products in the subcategories for that category .

I have searched the forum often to see if I can find the answer and have seen the question but not the answer. One answer said I could use Simple Category Tree but I think this is only for the category menu not how or what it shows when I click on the link for a parent category.

I thought I might need to make a page for each category then somehow make the category sidebox link to that page when the parent category is selected. But I don't know how. Although I am not a PHP expert I have a general understanding of it and I have adjusted code several times so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty so to speak.

Can anyone either explain how to do this or point me in the direction of a plugin, if available?

Any help greatly appreciated

There is a thread or family of threads for "all products on main page" which has a number of related but different mods attached by various people for showing subcategories' products on a top category's page in one way or another.Somewhere in there you will find a solution or a base that can point you to it.

Have you looked at your shop's site map?

YOURSTORE.com/index.php?main_page=site_map

This sounds to me like what you want and it's already built in to Zen Cart.
