Help with categories and sub categories

Hi can someone help me , its really simple help but i cannot do it lol. I have main categories and then subcategories in that.

For example : bikes -> Trek -> mountainbikes

heres a link :

http://www.ashcycles.com/power/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_4

on this link i would like to see on the main page all the sub listings of dawes, for example :

city bicycles
comfort cycles
etc.....

when i click on bikes in the main menu i want to show the different bike maunfactures with a pictures of each, for example giant, dawes , raleigh etc. But at the moment i have only got featured items showing , can someone show me how to do it

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

Could you switch to Classic and see if that fixes the problem?

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

There should of been information about the Zen Cart version too ...

The PHP VERSION I referred to that you should include is in the blue box ... something like:

PHP Version 5.2.0

The Zen Cart information is above that ...

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

Do you see anything like:

Zen Cart 1.3.7
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7
v1.3.7 [2007-01-07 19:10:18] (Fresh Installation)

Was this a clean install or an upgrade?

If an upgrade did you run the Upgrade Database in the /zc_install ...

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

Could you go to Tools ... Developer's Tool Kit ...

In the top input box enter:
PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORY_ROW_STATUS

Do NOT select anything from the dropdown ... and click Search ...

Does it find something? If so, click Edit ...

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

Could you run the /zc_install and click on the Update Database and see if any of the boxes are checked?

NOTE: before doing an upgrade always backup your database first ...

It sounds like you are missing some settings ...

Re: Help with categories and sub categories

Hi Ajeh the boxed that are checked when you choose database upgrade are :

1.3.02 to 1.3.5
1.3.5 to 1.3.6

does that help?

1.3.6 to 1.3.7 is NOT checked
