Listing subcategories
The navigation automatically displays the subcategories of the current categories in small tiles. Name and image are based on the corresponding information in the category management of Shopware.
This CMS extension is made up of various "components":
The CMS extension "Listing subcategories" is based on the theme extension of the same name. Both extensions are configured via the theme configuration.
Unlike the theme extension, the CMS extension can be positioned freely. Furthermore, additional layouts are available in the CMS extension.
Note: This element is only available in the ThemeWare® Pro Edition.
Tip: In the Cloud Edition, the theme extension of the same name is available: Listing subcategories
Important: As the name suggests, the CMS extension "Listing subcategories" only works on CMS pages of the type "Listing page". In addition, subcategories in Shopware 6 are only displayed for the main category.

Content
The texts and images shown were taken from the category management ("Catalogues" => "Categories") of Shopware.
The "Name" and the "Image" (= Display image) of the corresponding categories are displayed. The image is not mandatory.
Theme configuration
This CMS extension "Subcategories in Listing" is based on the theme extension of the same name. Both extensions are configured via the theme configuration:
Tab "Listing pages" => Block "Listing subcategories" => Show listing subcategories
Note: You do not need to activate the theme extension to use the CMS extension.
Element configuration
The actual configuration of the "Listing subcategories" can be found in the tab 'Listing pages' in the ThemeWare® configuration.
Layout
In the tab "Layout" you can activate a individual configuration for the element. This allows you to overwrite a few "global" configurations from the theme configuration.
