This 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 "Listing subcategories (Modern)" CMS extension is a variant of the "Listing subcategories" theme or CMS extension.
While the "Listing subcategories" extension is based on the look of our ThemeWare® extension for Shopware 5, this "Modern" variant has its own modern look, which is based on the modern teasers from ThemeWare®.
Due to this different look, this CMS extension requires a different configuration and only shares the basic colour configuration (background and border colour of the tiles) with the theme extension (or theme configuration).
You can configure the ThemeWare® "Listing subcategories" as follows:
Click on the corresponding CMS block (1) to activate the "edit mode"
Hover the mouse over the desired CMS element
Click on the "gear" icon (2) to configure the CMS element
You have now configured the CMS element.
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.
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 (on listing pages)"
The actual configuration of the "Listing subcategories" can be found in the tab 'Extensions' in the ThemeWare® configuration.
In the "Content" tab a note is displayed that the data is automatically loaded from the category.
In the "Layout" tab you can configure the navigation.
