Expanded Category List not working

I just uploaded all the files for the expanded category list (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=392) and I am not getting any sort of results from it. I noticed that it's for an older version of zen cart and I'm using the newest one. Is there anything I can do to make it work or is this really complicated?

If this isn't something I'll be able to fix, are there any other ways of making your subcategories show all the time?

There is a mod by fragfutter called Uncollapsed Categories Tree (available from his site) which does what you want and is reported to be reliable.

There is also a mod in Downloads called Category Listing Box which says it does this. It might be worth trying.

Re: Expanded Category List not working

I installed Uncollapsed Categories Tree and it did just what I wanted. Thank you very much for that! :D

The only problem is that I no longer have my image for the header of that category. Do you know how I can get it back?

Here's my shop: http://gleefulthings.com/shop/

It uses different files for the function than the standard ones. I believe the files are named with "ch_categories" instead of "categories". Depending on how you made the image show up for this originally, you may need to redo the edit or change the image filename.

Re: Expanded Category List not working

That was easy enough! I had used this method https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=135 to change my titles to images. It used the same $title = BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES; so that's all I had to change. :D

Thanks again!
