Show subcategories on main page?

This must be areally stupid thing, but I can't seem to grasp it. How do you show a list of subcategories, along with their images when you click on a category, insde the main content?

Like on this site:

http://www.dotcomtoolsuk.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

My sub-categories only show in the sidebox :(

Look for "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" under Configuration>Layout Settings

It's set to true. The main categories show on top (only the names, in grey) but if I click on them, the subcategories only appear in the sidebox.

And "Always Show Categories and SubCategories" in same section?

Those are my setting for that menu:

Link to your site?

Sure: http://www.menfusion.com/zencart/

Try adding more products. Single product category goes straight to product.

I did.. still sub categories won't show :(

LOL! Look at your source.... the categories are there... but you've put this in your css:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
float: left;
display:none;
}
Get rid of that display:none;

Lol.. I knew I did something stupid.. I wanted it not to show the Logo in the header.. :)

THANKS!

I have the same problem but in my CSS there are not Display: None. What is wrong ?? I will continue searching in the web.

This is my link: http://ohmyicons.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16

Using the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

in the bottom input box enter:
Display grid of available sub-categories

Select CATALOG ... click SEARCH ...

Check the file(s) that come up and see if the code between:
the BOF: and EOF: is removed or commented out ...

The result was two files. One of the is the current purchased templates.
/includes/templates/premium2a/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

Line #64 : <!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->

Line #66 : <!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->

What I need to put in the middle?

Thanks for your help!!

Open the file:
/includes/templates/premium2a/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

with a good text editor and look what is in between the two lines ... is it commented out?

The comments would look like two forward slashes:
//

If you see the two slashes ... what happens if you remove the two slashes ... does it start to work?

Thanks a lot!!! I did this.. The new template had no code in the middle, just>

I saw the second file from the search result that was:
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

I selected the lines in the middle and paste in the template code. So now look like this:

It works? Now.. I was thinking that I need to add the files "tpl_modules_category_row.php" ... but is working anyway!

Thanks for your support buddy!

Thanks for the update that the code was removed from your template and putting the code into it was able to resolve the problems ...

Ok.. now a new problem. It seems the file added "tpl_modules_category_row.php" is not well configured or I don't know... but the thing is the wider than the template limits. Look.

Do you have any idea where I can fix it?

Perhaps one of the designer types can help you out ... not my forte ... :unsure:

Actually the problem is only in one subcategory... Wallpapers/ 1 Monitor.

THe other categories and sub look fine. I can't understand. I already reset the column boxes.. but nothing.
