Want to disable categories link, with only subcategory links opening product pages

I have a store at http://www.linecasting.com

When someone clicks on a Category in the sidebar menu, the menu expands to show sub categories, and the page displays the Category page with sub category text links.

I want to disable the opening of the Category page, so that the customer has to click on the sub category link in the side bar menu to open a listing of the products under that sub category.

Is this possible? Any one any ideas please

Thanks

Re: Want to disable categories link, with only subcategory links opening product pages

Try going to the Configuration ... Product Listing ... and turn OFF the setting for:

Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating
Show Sub-Categories on Main Page while navigating through Categories

0= off
1= on

Thanks Ajeh, that's nearly what I wanted.

I was hoping I could the navigation tree to expand on category click, without navigating to the Category page.

This has at least got me a stage closer

Cheers

Re: Want to disable categories link, with only subcategory links opening product pages

For that, you would need a customized javascript "accordion menu". There may be one available in Plugins; if not, there are many free ones on the Web which you would need to integrate into Zen Cart yourself.
