*** /SOLVED ***

Hi All,

I'm looking to do something fairly simply but can't find the code I need. This is for a brand new 4.4.4 store.

All I'm attempting to do is have subcategories of the current category viewable at all times, even when you click into one of said categories. By default, when you click into a sub-category, the list of sub-cats at the top of the page disappears (since it's looking up sub-cats for the current category, rather than the current cat OR the parent cat).

For instance, in my parent category of "Jewelry" the sub-categories of that category correctly show (necklaces, bracelets, etc.) But when you click into one of the sub-categories, the list disappears. I want it to remain, even while in a subcategory:

http://future.thefutureforward.com/~clover/home.php?cat=1

I'm currently just using the following code in my subcategories_t.tpl file:

<div id="subcategories">
    <ul>
        {foreach from=$categories item=subcategory name=subcategory}    
          <li {if $smarty.foreach.subcategory.last}style="border-right:none;"{/if}>
            <a href="home.php?cat={$subcategory.categoryid}">{$subcategory.category|escape}</a>
          </li>    
        {/foreach}
    </ul>
</div><!-- end .subcategories -->

If anyone can tell me how to modify this code to always show the subcategories, even when you're in a subcat, that would be amazing!
