I have a sub-category within some of my categories and while most people will want to narrow down a search by viewing the sub-category, I know a lot of people would also like to just browse the whole main category. It is a pain for the users to click each sub then go back and click another. Is there a way to click a "browse all" and see all the sub-categories ads together on one page? I don't want to remove my sub-categories. Thanks!
I updated and slightly changed my question from what it was previously - if anyone knows the answer that would be awesome
You could try just changing, "$showlistings = 'N';" to "$showlistings = 'Y';" in the categories.php file.
I went to default/categories/browse.tpl and the only code I saw matching $showlistings was: {if $custom <> ''} {include file=$custom} {elseif $showlistings=="Y" && $sTemplate==1} {include file="showlistings.tpl"} {elseif $showlistings=="Y" && $sTemplate==2} {include file="showlistings2.tpl"} {/if} and they are already set to "Y" Am I in the wrong place?
Sorry about that! Okay so what you said worked Yay I simply changed the "N" to "Y" and nothing else. However, when I look at my category is shows seven "Y" 's in text. It did not show that before. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks! Here is the link: http://selloffroad.com/category.php?cat=parts
Also, changing that caused ALL the ads to show up below the browsing caterogies. Which is good, if I am on the main "Browse categories" page. What I am looking for is if I click "Browse Categories" then I should see the categories available and below I should be able to scroll through all the ads on the website. If I click "parts" then I should see only the ads in the sub-categories of "parts" to scroll through. Is there a way to do that? I hope that made sense.
