Category Listings not using Category TPL

Hello all-

We have been making some mobile modifications to our site and in doing so I noticed a potential issue.

When browsing through Categories & Subs it looks like it is using the standard tpl_product_listing and not the category listing. I say this because I do not see the listing for the Subs at the top of every category listing page - and this option is configured in admin. In addition if I pull the source of a category page I do not see a lot of the Category tpl markup as I do on other sites.

Anyone have some thoughts or ideas on where to begin? I haven't noticed any bugs or the like with our site so I don't assume something is broken... :frusty:

Re: Category Listings not using Category TPL

You appear to have added products directly to the top cat (Vitamins & Supplements), as well as having lots of subcategories for the top cat. Zen Cart is not designed to handle both situations; it is either/or - you can have products or subcategories. Because the processing checks for products first, when there are products and subcats the products win and that template is used.
