Listing subcategories

The "Subcategories in Listing" feature familiar from our themes for Shopware 5 is also available in ThemeWare® for Shopware 6.

You can activate this theme extension via the theme configuration. Like all theme configurations, this configuration is also global. This means that the subcategory navigation will then appear on all CMS pages of the type "Listing page".

Starting with ThemeWare® 3.2.4, you can activate/deactivate this global navigation via a custom field in selected categories.

In addition, the extension can also be displayed on shop pages in the future; the test phase for this will start soon.

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.
