    Hi There,

    I was wondering if it’s possible to create a sidebar menu using catablog that displays the products you have entered UNDER their respective category?

    I know you can display a menu with just the categories, but that’s no real use to me, as i want to display all products in a hierarchical type menu.

    i.e

    Category 1
    – Product 1
    – Product 2
    Category2
    – Product 3
    – Product 4

    etc.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    Can you use the CataBlog Widget instead of the category widget and make the title of each widget your category. Then you may use the template system to render your products however you want, one category at a time. Good luck

    So your sidebar would look something like this:

    -CataBlog Widget 1
    – Widget Title (Category Name)
    – WIdget Settings
    – Make sure category is set to the appropriate category name
    -CataBlog Widget 2
    – Widget Title (Category Name)
    – WIdget Settings
    – Make sure category is set to the appropriate category name
    -CataBlog Widget 3
    – etc…

    You can also make you own CataBlog Template to control what exactly is rendered, a text link, an image link, an image with a title and description, its up to you. One downfall of this method is if you have hundreds of categories you will have to spend some time creating all the widgets.

    CataBlog currently does not go through each category in a loop displaying the items in each category hierarchically, in any context.
