4.x.x Catogory Options

Hello, CS-Cart members! I have two minor configuration issues and hope someone could steer me in the right direction.





1st. When viewing a Root Category in the administration panel, the sub-categories appear on the left side bar. I would love to use this function in the store front to improve navigation. I tried to implement this in the product filter configure with no such luck. Is their addon for this that exist ?



2nd The Top menu bar does not flow well when multiple sub-categories are present in my opinion is it possible to just to show the first child category in the top menu without custom work? If not is their a addon that exist already?



Thank you

Add a 'Menu' block with the Filling set to 'Dynamic' in your sidebar.

In the 'Top Menu' block, click the Settings link next to Template, here you can set Second Level to '1' and Third Level to 0 to achieve what you are looking to do.

Thanks StellarBytes! I appreciate it! I like the flow of the website now.
