Show product names for each category

Hi,

I'm using Zen Cart version 1.3.8a.

I've created two categories each with some products. Currently, the Categories section of my left panel is displayed as follows:

Bodycare Products (3)
Massage Range (2)
New Products ...
All Products ...

I would like to display the product names for each categories. Somehting like:

Bodycare Products
-- bodycare product1
-- bodycare product2
-- bodycare product3
Massage Range (2)
-- massage range product1
-- massage range product2
New Products ...
All Products ...

Is that doable?

Thanks in advance :smile:

If you don't want to spend time (and perhaps money) editing and altering core code, then try the following:

IF your store has only a HANDFUL of products, this method is OK, but if your store is to house scores or hundreds of products, it can become a problem to manage.

Set up SUB-categories with identical names to the products.

Place each SINGLE product in its identically-named category. (Make sure to have only ONE product per category).

Then, in ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>LAYOUT SETTINGS:

Skip 1-prod Categories (Set to TRUE)

Unfortunately,that still won't open all of the top categories at the same time. For that, you need one of the expanded categories mods in Free Addons.

Thanks gjh42 and schoolboy :smile:

I thought it was something that could be customized through the layout settings or that could be changed easily by tweaking the code.

Hm...looks like I've to get someone to help me do it.

The work has already been done with several mods available in Free Addons; all you have to do is decide which one is best for you and install it.

Thanks gjh42!

Found "expanded_category_list" so far. Looks like it's what I'm looking for.
