    Cool Please help with categories

    Hi,
    I am using ver 8.0 of aspdotnetstorefront. I have setup the categories with 2 sub-categories. For example Manufacture -> Type -> Color. So, as soon someone click on Nissan as a manufacture, he will get all types listed as a subcategories (Maxima, Altima...) and when someone click on Altima he will get all colors listed as a sub-sub-categories (red, green...)
    My problem is when someone clicks on Nissan for example; you'll see only sub-categories in the product list (on the right). It does not show all products in the Nissan category. And when someone clicks on Maxima as sub-category, you'll see only sub-sub-categories in the product list (on the right). It does not show all products in the (it does not filter) Nissan->Maxima category. The products only show up when you select the sub-sub-category. Is there a way to show the products on any level of category or subcategory?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It all depends on your XML package. You'll have to modify your package to do what you are looking to do.

    That package is fine, but none of them are going to show all products of all subcategories below the current level by default. The XML packages list the next level down (subcategories) and any products in the current level, that's all. It'll take some customization to show products further down as well.
