I am trying to get the images and text that I entered for my subcategories to show up when viewing the parent category.

See: http://www.greenglass.com/store/home.php?cat=1

I know I need to alter /customer/main/subcategories.tpl but I don't know what the names of the variables are for the subcategory images and text.

Xcart 4.1.7

If you are referring to the category icon and category description - the variables for these are in the template already. Find them, then copy them so that they are in the part of the template that shows for the parent category.

Paulodman, I haven't been able to find the variables for those in the template. Do you happen to know which file they are located in?

I was able to guess my way to $subcat.icon_url because the parent category uses the variable .icon_url.

I still need to know what to put for the description though.

Thanks.

As I said, the variables are right there in the template you are looking at:
Description: {$current_category.description}
Icon: {$current_category.icon_url}

Thanks Pauldodman, I must be special ed or something... I've been trying $subcat.description and it hasn't been working.

I'll just fiddle with it some more, I must be doing something wrong here.

Pauldodman, I've played with the setup more and have verified that description does not work for the subcategory {$subcat.description}.

The loop that I am trying to use this within is:
{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}
{$subcat.description}
{/foreach}
