Show featured etc only on sub-categories?

I'm having a hard time getting this to work...

What I want is to show the new, featured and/or upcoming products when you click on a category with subcategories. Right now I only get the subcategory images, and that looks a bit naked.

When I turn them on in admin (Show Featured Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories), I get them to show up, but they also show up on main page where I do not want them to be as I have the category images there and all these boxes are overkill.

Please advice?

If I understand, turn off the first four options in Admin - Configuration - Index Listing. Those only apply to the main page.

That's just the thing... it doesn't work. :)

Not that deep, I have top level, category, subcategory and then products, at the most.

Could you post the settings that you are using for the Configuration ... Index Listing ... it sounds like something is not configured correctly ... :unsure:

I kinda gave up on this, but... Right now I have:

Show New Products on Main Page 1
Show Featured Products on Main Page 0
Show Special Products on Main Page 0
Show Upcoming Products on Main Page 0
Show New Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories 1
Show Featured Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories 0
Show Special Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories 0
Show Upcoming Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories 0
Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page 1
Show Featured Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page 2
Show Special Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page 3
Show Upcoming Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page 4
Show New Products - below Product Listing 0
Show Featured Products - below Product Listing 0
Show Special Products - below Product Listing 3
Show Upcoming Products - below Product Listing 4
New Products Columns per Row 3
Featured Products Columns per Row 3
Special Products Columns per Row 3
Filter Product Listing for Current Top Level Category When Enabled

Honestly, I think there's something wrong with the template, I cannot get the cross sell box to show either..?

Re: Show featured etc only on sub-categories?

If you switch to the Classic Template what happens?

Do you have an URL and Category where this is happening?
