My client would like to be able to view links to the sibling subcategories while they are viewing a subcategory,
For example .... if they have a category 'Cars' , with subcategories 'audi', 'mercedes', 'vw', 'volvo'; then when they are viewing the 'mercedes' subcategory, they would be able to see links to the other subcategories 'audi', 'vw', 'volvo'
the reason they would like this is that it means they would not have to click 'back' to view all the subcategories while viewing any one o \f them.
I am OK with coding necessary php in the view
many thanks in advance

Re: Show Sibling Subcategories
I don´t think this is possible since what is does is displaying subcategories in a tree list type.
You can´t display a category inside a category if it is not a subcategory in that category.
Perhaps theres is a module where you can have an overview of all categories, including subcategories.
....
Else you can always try manually to add hyperlinks inside the category description for each subcategory where you link to all car modell´s subcategory. If I sound confusing :p then see it as creating an ordinary html menu where you link to other pages...
Only downside to this is just that when you add a new car model subcategory, then you must add a new hyperlink to this new subcategy to all car modell´s subcategory.
