Showing Parent Category Name above children in List of Categories Menu Item?

Post by heavyboots »

Is there a way to do something like this by changing settings? In the example images, North America and Mexico are Parent Category Titles and the thumbnails are child folders. I would embed the images, but that seems to be disabled here, so I've posted Imgur links.

Essentially I want to go from what I currently have (all child categories in a jumble):

to this (parent category titles above each set of child categories):

Thanks in advance for any help you guys might provide!

Hi,

Try following:
Categories View >
Display Subcategories > No
Display Empty Categories > Yes

Category View >
Display Categories in Category View > Yes
Display Back Button > Yes

Kind regards,
Christine

OK, not quite what I'm after, but it will do for now. Thanks!

(I kind of wanted the equivalent of "Category Description" in its own full column width box, such that all the subcategories could flow under it as icons, I think.)

Hi,

See Options. You could try with:
Display Folder Icon - (Hide | Display) Display or hide folder icon (small icon in image's box in Category View)

and much more:https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/77-p ... parameters
