I would totally be interested in seeing what can be done here as well.
I have an app where I modified the sidedeepcategory.ftl to show a
preview of the other categories exploded to accomplish this - but it
only works proper in my case because everything is not nested too deeply.
There are definitely categories without products - where should some
other type of summary would be most useful.
Cheers,
Tim

Subject: [OFBiz-Users]showing subcategories in category detail listing
as well as category member products
Is there are easy or built-in way to have a category detail listing show
some subcategories (some sort of summary detail for each subcategory) in
the center detail area, as well as the present display of products that
are members of that category?
I have a category hierarchy where only the lowest level actually
contains products. While the user can browse to the appropriate category
via the left side category browser, it would be nice if clicking on a
mid-level category showed sub-categories in the main detail pane, since
otherwise the main detail pane is pretty empty.
One way I can think of doing this is to specify another detail template
for these categories, and in that template actually go an enumerate the
subcategories and display this. Seems completely doable, but I would
rather not get into this work if there is already a mechanism to do this.
Thanks for any tips,
