I just installed this great mod and wanted to know how I could have it so that category 1 would still show as a link even though it has subcategories?

Category 1 (no link)

> Subcategory B (link)
Category 2 (link)
Category 3 (no link)
> Subcategory C (link)
> Subcategory D (link)

This was done in x-cart gold 4.0.16

{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="`$fancycategories_config.modules_path`/fancy_categories.tpl"}
{else}

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

{* Determine if this category has a subcategory *}
{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}
{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{assign var="subs" value="yes"}
{/if}

{if $subs ne 'yes'}

{* This category has no subcategories, so display the category name with a link *}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

{$categories[cat_num].category}

{else}
{$categories[cat_num].category}



{/if}

{else}

{* This category has subcategories, so display the category name without a link *}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

<font class="VertMenuItemsBig">{$categories[cat_num].category}</font>

{else}
<font class="VertMenuItemsBig">{$categories[cat_num].category}</font>

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}&rsaquo;{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}{$allcategories[subcat].category}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}

{/if}
{/section}

{assign var="subs" value="no"}

{/section}
{else}

{/section}

{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Hope this is useful to someone.
