    Default All products listed in catagory?

    is there a way that when you click on a catagory, even if it has sub catagories, for it to list everything in that catagory..

    example:
    http://heyprettycupcake.com/index.ph...=index&cPath=4

    I want all of the products in the catagory to show and then when you click on the subcatagory it will show everything in that sub catagory

    What Louis is suggesting is extremely simple in practice, and quite effective.

    You would create an "all products" subcategory alongside the other subcategories in that top cat. Go through each of the products in the other subcats, and copy/link it to the all products subcat. You're done.

    The one drawback to this is that you need to maintain the all products subcat manually - if you add a new product, it does not automatically appear in the all list. If you are not constantly adding new products, that should not be a problem. (If you delete a product from its subcat, it will automatically disappear from the all products subcat.)

    And if you use the 'Multiple categories link manager' all of this can be achieved in no time. No need to link the products one at a time.

    Note: You can only get to the Multiple Categories Link Manager through a link at the bottom of the copy page, or at the top of the Attributes Controller page.
