X-Cart version 4.3

I am displaying the subcategories only for the currently active parent category using the following code. I can not seem to find how to hide the info if nothing exists. What is happening is the unordered list is creating a space even if the list is empty. I want it to not create the list HTML if there are no sub cats of the parent cat.

I am also leaving in this code I am using what I *thought* should work but has failed me. (see red code)

  {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-categories-list"}

{if $subcategory.subcategory_count gt 0}

There is no $subcategory array in this code. replace it with $c. The correct code should be

{if $c.subcategory_count gt 0}.....

Also check in debug window that there is such thing as "subcategory count"

Thanks Steve! That worked perfectly.

I still have not figured out the debug window though...

I found one problem. When I click into a subcategory then go to a product whose main category is the sub-category, the sub-categories disappear.

Here are breadcrumbs:

Home > Parent Cat > Sub Cat > Product Title

The side navigation only shows the list of parent categories.
