Categories block

[Miguel86]

Hi:
I have 2 categories that are subcategories of "Home", imagine:

Catalog

Big deals

 

Inside of Products i have:

Sofas

Beds

 

I want that the categories block when the user is in the Home page to show the subcategories of Catalogs so to display:

Sofas

Beds

 

Instead of:

Products

Big deals

 

The main reason is that the Big deals category is not too importart and in the main page for me is more importart to show all the catalog subcategories. How can i do this? because the categories block only lets me show or all the categories or the subcategories of the current category.

 

Thanks

Best regards.

hello

default module unfortunately doesnt allow to display categories in that way,

so it's not possible to define what categories to display in default blockcategories module.

 

here on forum you can find several solutions to display custom category block depending with defined categories,

sadly these solutions arent free

 

i don't know any free module which will allow you to achieve this

Ok.

I have another approach that maeby is possible.

Imagine that instead of having catalog i have:

 

Sofas

Beds

Big deals

 

Could be possible to remove Big deals from the block? i think this could be easiear, maeby i can control in php by code to remove the Big deals ID from the block, what do you think will be easier this?

 

Thanks

Best regards.
