Does anyone know of a way to list subcategories on a subcategory page? So if a category "Hats" has subcategories of "baseball", "cowboy", and "Derby" - when I'm on the "Baseball" page I want to get a list of "baseball", "cowboy", and "Derby".

Any ideas? It seems like the {SUBCATEGORY-XXXX} QuickCodes are only meant to list the children pages under the current page.

Thanks in advance!

It is possible to display all of the subcategories from a specified parent category regardless of what subcategory is selected. This can be done by replacing the {SUBCATEGORY-BEGIN} QuickCode Tag in the template with the code sample provided below. Once this code is on place, any of the {SUBCATEGORY-XXX} QuickCode Tags located between this code sample and the {SUBCATEGORY-END} QuickCode Tag will display the information for the desired set of subcategories.

Replace the {SUBCATEGORY-BEGIN} with this code:
Code:

<?php
$subcat_arr=array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM prod_cats WHERE parent_cat='CATEGORY-SID-NUMBER' AND active='Y' ORDER BY display_order ASC, name ASC";
$subcat_arr = mm_fetch_data($sql);
$x=0;
if(count($subcat_arr['id'])>0) {
   foreach((array)$subcat_arr['id'] AS $subcat) {
?>


Note: Replace the 'CATEGORY-SID-NUMBER' in this code sample above with the System ID (SID) number of the desired parent category.

I hope this information was helpful. If you have any further questions, please let us know.
