Question
I am pretty new to magento and have gotten my design implemented, but I am struggling with a category/product listing issue.
My categories are like this
Parent
Child
Grandchild 1
Product 1
Product 2
Grandchild 2
Product 1
Product 2
I have the top level nav with a drop down listing the children available on all pages, but once you navigate to the child I want it to list each grandchild category and the relevant products.
The store is going to be kept pretty small so we're talking about 5-10 products per grandchild category.
The site is at http://gasworksparkkiteshop.com any advice would be massively helpful. I am also using customizing a copy of the Modern theme.
Solution
Look in your theme's catalog.xml
file. You should find something like this,
<catalog_category_default translate="label">
<label>Catalog Category (Non-Anchor)</label>
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/navigation/left.phtml"/>
</reference>
...
Your site doesn't have a left block that I can see so the above code does nothing. Try changing the reference to a location that is in use, or in the 2columns-right.phtml
insert the errant left column where you want the navigation block to appear.
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('left') ?>
