Re: Show sub-categories in 'Categories' menu-box
good mod
Advice from a customer point of view. You might want to indent subcategory icons also or remove them altogether. Right now it's a long unreadable list and you can't say either it's cat or subcat.

Re: Show sub-categories in 'Categories' menu-box
I like this mod... but is there anyway to have only the subcategories shown for the current category you are in. So basically all the categories are shown and then the sub categories for the current category are located under the category name. Thanks for your help!

yeah, the original categories.tpl has nothing like this. He posted the original the same as the replace with. Instead, maybe you can post your entire categories.tpl file? I tinkered with it and never got it working

I can't see why not, try it, just make sure you backup the files before you try the mod.

I have highlited the new parts of the code in RED to make it easier to understand. The categories.tpl code shown before was using the Crystal blue skin. You maybe able to follow this mod a bit better now.
