-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.4

Dear support,
I have categories list in module (right menu). I want to show here only categories, not subcategories.
Some categories have subcategories and I want to show them at the top ,above the product listing.
Please, see enclosed example with puzzles - I have created item in main menu called Puzzle which shows subcategories. This is clear, but I do not want to have it directly in the main menu. Is it possible to do this from the module?
Sorry, I don´t know how to write it more clearly, I hope that the printscreen will be comprehensible.ň
Thank you in advance for your help!
Jarka

Hi,

Yes, it's not a problem.
Actually the "Categories listing on 1 level" module that is configured by default by HikaShop when you install it does that.
You can find it via the Joomla modules manager.
If you don't have it, you can also recreate it there out of the HikaShop content module by configuring the module to display the categories without children.

Hi,
I am not sure if you understand what I need. Or maybe I misunderstood the explanation, but could you, please, check it once again, please?
Categories listing on 1 level is the module on the right side. It is a list of all main categories.
What is need is another "submenu" for some categories, which have 2 levels. This submenu will not be visible all the time. Please, check again the example with puzzles. Puzzle is main category, but I want to divide it to Puzzle - geography, Puzzle - math, Puzzle - biology etc. (but not to show subcategories in right menu module). When a customer clicks on "Puzzle" on right menu, I want to show a list of all puzzle products, but at the top of the product listing, I want to create aditional menu with subcategories.
How to do this? Another module with Categories listing on 1 level?
Thank you for your patience and effort!

Hello,

If you need to create the same thing but on 2 levels and so have a module which display first categories AND direct sub elements, the HikaShop default module Categories on 2 levels, will do the job.

In HikaShop Options tab and in Data display part don't forget to select your required category in Main category AND define Sub elements filter on Direct sub elements.

Note: You can read this tutorial to better understand how to configure your module.

Hope this will help you.

Regards

Is it possible to show a module (with subcategories) only if one certain category is selected in module? If yes, how to do this?

Hi,

You can use the extension Advanced Modules Manager for that. It has the capability to restrict the display of modules based on the current category.
