Converting from CubeCart - Categories on main page

[aris]

I've searched through the forums here, and the consensus is that if I set 'Categories always show on main page' to 1, and 'main page - opens with category' to '0' then it would show my categories, with images, on the main page in the center section.

Is this not the case - it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm on 1.3.7.1 and using both classic and silverfish templates.

If i'm getting this wrong - can someone tell me how to do this? My site is simple - just 6 categories (no sub cats), and about 5 items per category.

Thanks,

Your URL?

Sorry - it is not on the web - just on a local machine for now where I do all my testing.

Is there some config Info I could post?

All I did was a fresh install of 1.3.7.1 - with the test data. I then removed most of the test ocnfig manually by deleting all the categories etc, and made modifications to the config via the ZC gui.

Have you put any categories back in?

Yes, i've created 5 new categories - two of which have items in them (but i'd expect empty categories to show too).

I had a quick look through the code,

./includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<?php
  if (PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORY_ROW_STATUS == 0) {
    // do nothing
  } else {
    // display subcategories
/**
 * require the code to display the sub-categories-grid, if any exist
 */
   require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_category_row.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_category_row.php');
  }
?>
<!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

I had a look in the configuration table in the database (mysql), and it showed this set to 0.

I manually did an update on this value:

update configuration set configuration_value = 1 where configuration_title = 'Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating';

Now it appears to work.

So the question is really - which config option in the GUI should be updating this to 1?

Anyone know what part of the admin GUI would set this field to 1 so that the category images work?
