Problems displaying Sub-Categories / Products on same page

[pigdestroyer]

Hi,

I have been playing with my MS2 MAX 1.5 install and coming along well with my store. Although I now have a problem. I initially wanted to keep all of my categories in the same format whereby they either had sub-categories in them or products. However, I have come to the point where I need to display at least 7 products or so and one single sub-category. The problem is....although my products are displaying as expected, the subcategories do not. I can see that they are there in the categories info box but they do not appear in the main content area.

Is there a fix for this or am I being a spazz?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Well I managed to fix this fairly easily by altering the code in index.php slightly to reflect set a different $category_depth variable for categories which contain both products and sub-categories at that level. This then displays a template which is effectively is both index_nested.tpl.php and index_product.tpl.php combined into one file.

Easy in the end really.

anyone have a code sample for this? i am running into this problem as well....

I actually wrote around this problem myself, since I posted this problem initially, if you visit http://www.extrememetal.co.uk you will see this in operation. Drop me a line through the site and I will gladly forward you my ammeded code.

Guest, better yet, how about you just attach the ammended code to your post here, that is, after all, what this forum is for...
