3rd Level Categories in main page...

Hi all!

Ive tried looking around for the answer but cant find what I need...

Basically I would like all my sub categories to come up as a list in the main page (not just the sidebar) until they reach the products...

I have 3 levels of categories that I would like to display.

IE:

Click: Tops > T-Shirts > Long Sleeve > Then the products.

However although the 3rd level sub ats appear in the side box - only the 2nd level sub cats appear on the main page... How can I make the 3rd level sub cats appear on the main page too? (In the middle).

Version 1.5, using estorenow template, and column mod for listing products.

Cheers in advance!

Re: 3rd Level Categories in main page...

Just to clarify as my previous question may not be very clear:

On my page I have the home page, with top categories on the left sidebar box.

Click any category and it will show the level 1 sub categories beneath it, and also in the main center window.

Click any of these categories and it will then show the next sub categories (these are the final sub categories) in the left hand sidebar, replacing the level 1 sub categories, but not in the center window.

Is there a limit on the number of sub cats that can be displayed in the main window? There are 7 levels available on the CSV sheet so I assumed it would work automatically when I used them...

Hope this clears it up! Hope someone can help me asap as ive been trying to work this out for about 3 days now =/

If I understand the question, the products from the third subcat level should display. A link to the site would help.

Re: 3rd Level Categories in main page...

Yeah... ok the store is current living at https://www.methdesignz.co.uk/store

for the purposes of testing etc.

Now if you select;

Helmets >> Shoei >> Multitec - that should bring up all the multitec helmets. However,

Click Helmets >> Shoei appears as a main category on the main window.

Click Shoei >> from the main window and a random 5 helmets appear in the middle, but Multitec and all the other sub categories only appear on the left hand side box.

Click Multitec >> from the left hand side box and the products appear in the main window...

So why does the 3rd level category, Multitec, and all the others - not appear in the main window? =/

Hope that clears it up a bit :D

It would, but all I see under Helmets is Visors.
