Subcategories not showing in category page center

[richphitzwell]

No the gui wont do anything for you in that case.

When I have come across issues such as this its generally been due to my placing the same named file in the wrong folder. Is this a new install?

[scientific_anomaly]

it is no longer a clean install, but it is also not an upgrade from a previous version of ZC. As far as I am aware I have touched nothing that can affect the functioning of categories. (As far as I am aware being a key issue)

[scientific_anomaly]

The affected category is in a ZC install in a subdirectory of public_html

Everything else works.

Today I added a new Category.

It sits at Top > Category3

Then I added a sub category and put in linked products.

Top > Category3 > subcategory> linked products

These products originate in Top > Category1 > products
2


Admin shows Subcategory 1 looking completely sensible as far as I can see. It just does not appear on the web site when Category 3 is clicked on.

oh and one more thing - suspecting that linked products may not activate the display of the subcategory - I added a unique test product to Subcategory 1 and it made no difference

Is anyone willing to shed some light on this please?

I'm not at a computer but throwing a dart would be a PHP file. Which on I couldn't tell you but if this urgent I would ask this in a more popular forum here pertaining to bugs. This one doesn't get many hits. The only reason I responded is I've had similar situations and it was due to putting a common named file in the wrong folder.

richphitzwell - I am grateful for your caring. I am trusting in decisive response from someone who wrote this system or in ant case knows this part of the code inside and out. At last count I think I saw about 7000 .php files - and my suspicion is this is a simple setting somewhere that is telling this subcategory not to appear.

Go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

In the bottom input box enter:

can you see if this is this the correct search call? Do the results mean anything?
