Does the category module have a setting that shows the sub-categories when viewing the parent one? I see this is possible on the StackIdeas forum (when I click the "EasySocial" category it then displays its sub-categories).

Attached is a screenshot showing a parent category landing page that has sub-categories, but I manually need to click the down arrow in the module to view the sub-category list. I've also included the module's settings.
Hello Justin,

Correct me if I'm wrong, did you want to display the sub categories without has to click on the parent? if so, please replace the attached file in: ../modules/mod_easydiscuss_categories/tmpl/default.php . If this doesn't work, you can provide us your FTP access because, I can't access it using the previous detail.

Hi Nick,

I've uploaded the file, but am getting a "childs is not defined" line 1131 error, and the menu is not expanding. I've included the FTP info.

Thanks
Justin

Thanks Nick,

Would it be possible to only have a category's sub-categories display when viewing the main category itself, similar to how the StackIdeas forum works?

Hello Justin,

I'm sorry it is not possible with the current setting. Our module in Stackideas site is highly customized for our site.

Hello stackideas newbie,

See attached... it's been a while since I've updated that project so I hope it still works with the latest ED.
