do you mind if we can see an example of what you made...I have no doubt of your abilities but i just want to know if this is really what i want on my site...thanks

Sure. I originally did this for a prospect under 3.2.1, but they went away. Since so many people seemed interested, I went ahead and setup a generic test 3.3.1 site and made only this change. I will be pulling this site down to build my next project, but will leave it up for a couple days max.

Just the generic 3.3.1 demo products. Remember that this only displays the category and subcategory (1 level). Any deeper and it will only leave the subcategory displayed.

wow!!!! it looks so cool.. :lol: .i'm going to implement it on my 3.2 site...i'll let you know if it worked. :P

well i tried but i couldn't get it to work?!?

any ideas...i see that the 'topcat' is working (as you can see by the links) but the menu is not working as yours....any ideas...

Hmmm. Did you go into admin mode, General Settings and "uncheck" the show root categories?

hahahahahaha....no i didn't sorry...working hard at copying and pasting your hack i forgot to do the last thing...it works...thanks...now i have to change all the css to fit the site.

it looks tight...thanks a lot...is there anything i can share with you? I would feel better to trade hacks...even though there aren't much i hacked...but maybe i could help with something on your site?

well don't hesitate to ask me for help....is what i'm basically saying...

I'm glad it works for you. I think I am all set on the customer sites I have worked up. Thanks for the offer.

oh i just realized that you forgot to mention

/customer/main/navigation.tpl

You will notice the problem here(http://www.freerangeminds.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=105&topcat=103) look at the results page. when you click on the next page you'll notice the menu collapses...

I edit it but since my site is completely reconfigured I'm afraid to add my codes here and get some beginner confused. Derrick, mind adding the original code and corresponding edits.

Good catch. I am so use to the cart being setup for longer listings, I completely forgot. I updated the original posting to include the navigation.tpl with the mods.
