I tried it but it makes my category show up with nothing in it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I've reviewed this whole thread and have seen mention of this, but no working solutions. I'm currently working with a X-Cart version 4.0.19 and am trying to get the subcategory descriptions to show up under the category title. I've tried:
{ $subcategories[cat_num].description|escape }

but absolutely nothing happens using that. I suspect I'm calling this wrong, but don't have a clue how else it might be called. Any help on this much appreciated. Thanks.

I am using the version shown below and it shows that there are no subcategories available with some clickable links that link back to the main page. Can someone please clarify what code needs to be replaced in my version?

thanks.

Ok, I have this mod working sort of, It is displaying my categories, but for some reason it starts with a blank space, and does not include my last category. The last category that should appear is dancing poles. It shows up fine in the sidebar menu. Thanks. http://72.34.43.238/store/

In your code you have [img] this should be changed to a valid img tag i.e.:

<img source=blah>

The posts got messed up when they upgraded a while back, so in all of the code that was posted, the img tags are messed up. Just make it a valid img tag and it will work.

After applying this mod I now have my site navagation showing twice at the top of page, where as before it was showing only once. What can I do to get it back to showing only once?
