I have set up several categories each with several subcategories. I set the Expand Depth to 0 in hopes that only my top level categories would show in the category list. Instead all categories and subcategories are always showing. This is version 2 beta so it may just not be working yet. More likely, I just don't understand how it's supposed to work. Is it possible to only show top-level categories until you click on one?

I believe 0 means expand all. Try setting it to 1.

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned in my original post that I tried 0, 1, and the default 2, all with no apparent change. All categories and subcategories are always visible in the category list.

I just looked at the code which doesn't use that data at all. Here is the quick fix.

In Web/Store/Blocks/CategoryList.ascx.cs line 73:

change

categories = <font color="#2b91af" size="2"><font color="#2b91af" size="2">Category.GetCategories(0, <font style="background-color: #ffff00">2);

to

categories = <font color="#2b91af" size="2">Category.GetCategories(0, <font style="background-color: #ffff00">1);

Yes, that does seem to limit the list to only the top level categories. It also makes sub-categories inaccessible. It would be nice if the final version will allow you to click on, or float over, a top level category to show its subcategories.

The sub-categories should be accessible when you click the top level categories. Let me know if this is not the case.

Nope. It's not the case, at least not for me. The only way I can see the subcategories is by clicking on the Categories link in the site navigation bread crumb.

Here is from my test.

Top level

After click the first link on the top.

If you want to display second level on mouse hover over, you could just create css and javascript to archive this.

Hmm. Must just be me. Thanks for the reply. If it works for everyone else I'll have to figure out what's wrong with my setup.
