Listing subcategories

The navigation automatically displays the subcategories of the current category 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.

In contrast to the theme extension, the CMS extension can be positioned freely and you can overwrite the theme configuration with the configuration of the CMS element. In addition, the CMS extension provides you with additional layouts.

Note: The CMS extension "Listing subcategories" was developed for CMS pages of the type "Lising page", i.e. pages with (product) listings.

Note: Subcategories are currently only displayed in Shopware 6 for the main category.

Important: 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
