We have this in our custom app...we've customized
categorydetail.ftl around line 57 to include the
following bit of code - this simply adds the
subcategories:
<#-- Place Subcategories above any products in Current
Cateogory -->
<#assign parentProductCategoryRollups =
productCategory.getRelated("ParentProductCategoryRollup")>
<#if parentProductCategoryRollups.size() != 0>
<table> <tr><td><hr class='sepbar'/></td></tr>
<tr valign='middle'><td>
|
<#list parentProductCategoryRollups?sort as
productCategoryRollup>
<#assign curCategory =
productCategoryRollup.getRelatedOne("CurrentProductCategory")>
<a
href="<@ofbizUrl>/category/~category_id=${curCategory.productCategoryId}/~pcategory=${productCategory.productCategoryId?if_exists}</@ofbizUrl>"
class="buttontext">${curCategory.description?if_exists}</a>
|
</#list>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><hr class='sepbar'/></td></tr>
</table></#if>
<#-- Custom end -->
