Category on Separate Line

[prdg1]

I've looked through the documentation and I haven't found this so I'm just checking if this is possible.

The way the category view stands, it displays the category and then the subcategory next to it. This can sometimes be very long since I'm using the sub category as an event title. My question is this. I'd like to see it display with the main category as a heading and then the subcategories listed below it. For example

Party Pictures
- Event at the House
- Event at the Office
- Event Anywhere
Party Pictures 2
- Event at the House 2
- Event at the Office 2
- Event Anywhere 2

Now the tree menu does display this way but I was preferring something less tree like. I would think this is possible but I may have missed it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

it's not possible by default, so I think you need to hack the core files.

You can display only the topcategories and let people click to see the subcategories. Then you need to set 'display subcategories' to no and 'display empty categories' to yes.

Thanks. I'll take a look at the code to see what I can do with it. It would certainly be a nice feature for future releases. Thanks again. I may check back if I have trouble with it. So if anyone else has any ideas or has done this, can ya share?

By the way, I think you can accomplish this with a template override... (do your changes are saved when updating)

Good idea. I know with Joomla, I've been having trouble getting my template overrides to work so hopefully it will work better with this component. Thanks again
