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.
Note: As the name suggests, the ThemeWare® 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.
Go to the tab "Extensions"
Expand the block "Listing subcategories"
Enable the configuration "Show listing subcategories"
Optional: Use the further configuration options
Save your changes after editing
Tip: In the Pro Edition, a corresponding CMS extension is also available. This allows you to freely position a dedicated CMS block in your layouts and configure it individually: Listing subcategories
Switch via the main navigation to the "Category managment" (1) (2) ("Catalogues" => "Categories")
Choose the category you want to edit (3)
To the right of the category list, the corresponding category now opens in the category editor (4)
You are in the tab "General"
In the block "General" you can edit the category name (Name).
Scroll to the block "Menu settings"
Here you can edit the category image (Display image)
Save your changes
Here you have the following options for listing and shop pages:
don't show
show
show (via custom field)
Note: Of course, only subcategories are displayed if a category has visible subcategories and Shopware provides them in the corresponding category tree.
This is the default setting. In this case, the "Listing subcategories" will not be displayed on the corresponding page type.
If you select the option show, the "Listing subcategories" will be displayed on all pages of the corresponding page type.
Tip: You can use the custom field to prevent the "Listing subcategories" from being displayed in a category, allowing you to customise selected categories individually.
If you select show (via custom field), the "Listing subcategories" will only be displayed on the corresponding page type if you have configured the custom field to yes in the corresponding category.
There are currently 3 different display modes available (see screenshots below):
Text only
Image only

From ThemeWare® 3.2.4, you can enable/disable this global subcategory navigation in selected categories using a custom field.
