Category list on main page

Ahhh...the column grid layout one. I will check that.

Thanks!

ok I updated my add on (column grid layout) but the subcategories are still not showing. I am not sure where to even start to compare coding.

OK I FINALLY figured things out. Actually I accomplished two things I was wanting, and now I don't need this to display BUT what was wrong was in the MY TEMPLATE/template/tpl_index_categories...the code to allow subcategories to display was commented out so it looked like this:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<?php
/**
* 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 -->

so I changed it to look like this instead:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<?php
/**
* 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 -->

Basically, instead of having the entire code commented out, I only commented out the description.

But as soon as I figured that out, I also figured out how to get my categories to always be uncollapsed to show the subcategories. So now I don't need this do display now. Go figure

Hmmm. ok so looks like I can't get the admin options to apply.

I set Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating =0

But, it still shows subcategories on main page. So it seems the only way for me to turn this off is by commenting out the code...

This code should be in the tpl_index_categories.php

<?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');
  }
?>

If not, your template is missing code or out of date ...
