When you click on a category, it shows all products in that category. Is there a setting or hack I can employ that instead of showing all products in the category, if the category has subcategories, display the subcategories (their images and title) in a grid, then you can click on the subcategory to get a list of products in that subcategory.
In logic speak, if number of subcategories > 0 display subcategories instead of products.
I found the setting in general settings but strangely only one subcategory is displayed despite having products in multiple subcategories. I do have the menu bar drop down set to only show top level, but I wouldn't expect it to effect that. I'm also using compact list mode.
--- edit --
That option didn't do what I intended for it to do as the product was just a stray product that wasn't in a category. So still wondering how to make top level category links show subcategory list instead of product view.
Well the "workaround" is to turn of the subcategory product display and just edit the category description manually to show the subcategory images/labels. It is of course much more preferable for it to automatically build the subcategory grid view, especially if you have many categories with many subcategories.

{if $products}with this:{if $products && !$subcategories}
