AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hello,

I would really appreciate some help with this problem.
I created my categories like this ->

All Categories
Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
Category 4

For now there are no subcategories. Under all "All Categories" I repeated all the categories with their products. Doing so creates product duplicates, one from "All Categories" and the other from Category 1,2,3 or 4. So, when I click on the link "More Products from manufacturer's name" I see all the products for that particular manufacturer from whichever Category they fall under and from "All Categories." Is there a way to show only the products from Category and not "All Categories?"

Thank you so much!

You can use CategoryDetails page as your category display page. CategoryDetails lists the contents from a single category and doesn't render the contents from child categories if there are any within currently opened category.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. If I use CategoryDetails page I get all the Categories or Products. However, I plan on creating a Manufacturer script so that customers can search by Products or Manufacturers. Do I just copy the CategoryList conlib and create a ManufacturerList conlib from that file? Then, I can create a ManufacturerDetails page to display a list of all the products belonging to a manufacturer. So, for instance if a customer clicks on a manufacturer he/she will see the ManufacturerDetails page instead of the CategoryDetails page.

My other question is how do I limit the number of categories showing on the left sidebar? I have a lot of categories but only want to show maybe like 10 or so categories then hide the rest with the option to click on "show more categories" and the rest of the categories will display (like an accordion menu). I guess my main concern is how to integrate Ajax Controls such as Ajax/JQuery menu tabs, accordion menu, etc into ablecommerce shopping cart template.

Sorry, so many questions. I am new to ASP.Net. Your help is much appreciated.
