Ok, here's how to get around the cPath=0 problem.. View all the top level category on a define_page_2
When this doesn't work in SSU
http://www.website.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0
You can use this instead..
It won't look super pretty, but maybe it's easy to change..
http://www.website.com/page_2
Basically all we're doing is displaying the top level categories on another page.
Documentation:
1.) Below is the file(tpl_topcategories_default.php) that needs to be put in 'includes/templates/template_default(or your custom template directory)/templates/' folder
2.) A blank folder needs to be created & named: "topcategories" in "includes/modules/pages/"
- Make this file, code is below '/includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_page_2_default.php'
create: tpl_topcategories_default.php
