Right? 1. The category module take you to the Hikashop category listing content **menu** that you have set through the "menu" option of your category content **module** configuration page 2.

I was just trying to understand the logic behind the component. In my case for example, I don't have subcategories within the categories listed in the module. I really just want a link to a page that shows products for each of the categories listed in the module when I click on them. I say it doesn't link to anywhere because in my case there are no subcategories to list but there are products. But to load the products I need to associate a modules, etc. I thought it would behave like standard joomla: shows the items within the category and then the subcategories below. To me would make sense to follow the logic of the platform it was built for, and that might be why I and other users got confused. All sorted now, Thanks a lot for the help.
