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.
Beta: Please note that this element is in a testing phase, feel free to test it.
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
You can configure the ThemeWare® "Listing subcategories" as follows:

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 "Extensions" => Block "Listing subcategories"
The actual configuration of the "Listing subcategories" can be found in the tab 'Extensions' in the ThemeWare® configuration.
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.
In the tab "Grid" you can configure the number of columns in different viewports.
In the tab "SEO & Pagespeed" you can configure the "Lazy loading" of the images.
You can select each HTML element of our CMS elements using the appropriate CSS classes. If you want to use your own CSS classes, you can insert them in the "Advanced" tab.
There are currently 5 different display modes available (see screenshots below):
