hi
its already set on 1
any other ideas, anyone know what page/file it is in as might have done someting to it.

what files have you edited? if its set to show in admin and nothing is there, then the call for the categories must have been removed at some point from the page template.

its a bit hard to know whats wrong without knowing abit more about the problem,
what was it you had showing, was it the categories on the main page centre content or is it the category tabs menu under the header?

the settings rain-bow pointed you to will control the categories on the main page centre content,
if its the category tab menu then its
admin>configuration>layout settings>Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF

hi seamus

its the sub categorie in the centre when you select a categorie from left hand colum that has subcategories it use to show all the subs cats in the main area at the top with image icons
now they have gone.

i have checked and cant find how to get them back

right, I see what you mean,

admin>configuration>Product Listings>Show SubCategories on Main Page while navigating
and set to 1 and the subcategories will show up when browsing a category,

thanks for that
but already set as you mentioned.
what i have noticed is if you go on say memory in the categories and there are 3 sub cats.
the sub cats show when clicked on them but not in the main page when just clicking the categorie on the left.
any other ideas ?   what  .php would this be on incase i have done something.

look for this code here

Code:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<?php
  if (PRODUCT_LIST_CATEGORY_ROW_STATUS == 0) {
    // do nothing
  } else {
    // display subcategories
/**
 * require the code to display the sub-categories-grid, if any exist
 */
   require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_category_row.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_category_row.php');
  }
?>
<!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

that should be in
/includes/templates/Slovak_Classic/templates/tpl_index_categories.php
the chances are that code isnt there in your file, hence why its not showing the subcategories, why that bit of code would have been removed is anybodys guess
if the code is there, then there must be a problem with it, its been altered and bits have been left out,

if your template doesnt have a tpl_index_categories.php file then it'll be the file in /includes/templates/template_default/templates/ thats getting used.

or

if the above file is fine, check /includes/templates/Slovak_Classic/templates/tpl_modules_category_row.php
it should look like this

Code:

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('category_row.php'));

  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_columnar_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_columnar_display.php');

if that code is missing or not written properly, it can cause the subcategories to disappear

if those files are fine, then I'd need a look through your site to see what has been done and what isnt working, guessing at where the problem really isnt the best way to do things, I'd need to have a look, but working on other people sites is never done for free


edit to add,

just checked your source code

Code:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

theres no code inbetween the begining of and the end of your subcategory display code, so the first code I put up should be in there, so it definetly is /includes/templates/Slovak_Classic/templates/tpl_index_categories.php thats got the problems

why did you remove the code??

hi
i dont want the categories to be displayed in main page,
but when you select a categorie from the left i want the sub categories to then display in the main page.

if that makes sence Rain

[seamus]

well, your site as it is, doesnt show the categories on the main page, its showing the new products box and specials box,
to sort that to show what you want is just a matter of tweaking the setting in admin,

admin>configuration>index listings
and just set what you want to show and turn off what you dont.
you can turn off everything so that the only thing that shows on the main page is what ever you put in your define pages for that page, no need to remove any code, you can do pretty much all of what you need to do by sorting the settings properly via admin.
