Just One Level - Category Expansion on Default Page
Hi Luke,
 
I need my default home page show Categories and First level underneath and no more.
 
Expand level = 1 Shrinks All
Expand Level = 2 Expands All levels
 
What is the solution for that.
 
Thanks,

Open page editor and click "Edit" on the CategoryList block.

Re: Just One Level - Category Expansion on Default Page
          
I used category List and there is no functionality that we have discussed,
 
I want all categories with second level always be open.
 
 
Cat1 ...........
    Subcat1 ...............
    ....
    .....
Cat2 ...............   
   Subcat2 .........................
   ...............................
Cat3 ................................
  Subcat3
  ...............................
  .........................
 
 
Always Two Level just shows for select Category
all other Categories remain collapsed.
 
Second Level Just shows the second level of selected category and overwrites it.
I do not thing anybody will use this option since it is very confusing for user and distorts the Navigation. 
 
 
 
You need to have these two options intead of Always Two Level.
 
Two Level for All Categories
Two Level for Selected Category

Re: Just One Level - Category Expansion on Default Page
This setting affects only how it displays when a category is active (selected).
 
"Top Level" is to display all the top level categories and expand all the category path down to the current active category.
"Second Level" is to display second level categories for the active category and all category path down to the current active category.
 
 
"Always Two Levels" is to display current active category, its siblings and childen.

Re: Just One Level - Category Expansion on Default Page
The default homepage (when no active category is selected) has always the top level by default. You can customize the code to include the second levels.
