One problem remains: We want to always display the first level of categories (main categories), so we switched off the "Synchronize with currently displayed item when possible" option (otherwise they disappear when a category is selected). The problem is, that the active category (and parent category) is not selected anymore (since they are not synched). Is there a way to always show the parent categories and mark the current category as active? Best regards and thank you!

We updated from 1.5.7 to 1.5.8, but we still don't get the item highlighting to work. Maybe my explanation what we want to achieve was too complicated and/or confusing, i try to explain it in a better/simpler way: We have a menu item called "New Shop" that links to a Hikashop Category/Listing page. We want to display all existing categories inside that page. That page works, also the menu item works. But we want also have a module/submenu that always shows all categories, once you are inside the shop. For instance, i click the "new shop" menu item, i go to the categories listing page, on the left side of the page, i want to have a list of all categories (so far we only have one level of categories, so no subcategories). So we created a hikashop content module wich lists all categories. On "associated category" we selected the hikashop main category wich contains all our categories, then we turned off "synch with current menu" so that the module always shows all categories. If i click one of them, i go onto a page where i can see all the products of the desired category. So far, everything is ok. But, the problem is, the selected category does not get highlighted. - Is it correct that we switched off the "synchronize with current menu" option (we always want the main categories to show up)? - By "current category" do you mean the "associated category" option inside the module?
