The default behaviour of the product Filter module is to hide the category menu when a filter is being applied. I need to undo this functionality as I am using the topCategories module for subnavigation options in a horizontal menu, so no-one can navigate anywhere if these are hidden.
I tried setting the isVisible element to always be true, but then the filters wouldn't work properly.
I started this in another thread
http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?p=378089, but now it is a specific question ... maybe someone from x-cart can help???
