I am trying to get all items that are published in a sub-category to also be listed in the Main category. I thought setting up a Menu item pointing to the Main Category and selecting all sub-categories in it would work, but it doesn't. Any help would be great.Thanks,Corey

You need to set Catalogue Mode to No in the category and ensure you have some value for leading, primary and secondary.

If you created a menu link and configured the parameters at that point, then you would need to delete that menu item and create a new one, pointing to the category you just modified.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that worked. Is it possible to not display all of the categories at the top of the page list?

Yes, it is possible.
In the main category, you need to go to the Category View Options and set the Sub Category Blocks to Hide.

Hope that helps.

I found it shortly after I posted, thanks for the reply.

Hi dear,

 

I create a code for adding select box as k2 categories for k2 search . i hope this can help you:

( this is loop over all categories and subcategories  ):

 

    <?php $incategory = (int)JRequest::getVar('incategory'); ?>    <select name="incategory" id="incategory" >        <option value="0" <?php if($incategory==0) echo("selected='selected'");?>>All categories</option>    <?php  $beginwith = 0; $level = 0;  function thecate($id,$level){    $incategory = (int)JRequest::getVar('incategory');   $user = & JFactory::getUser();  $aid = $user->get('aid');  $db = & JFactory::getDBO();  $query = "SELECT * FROM farsi_k2_categories  WHERE parent='$id' AND published=1 AND trash=0 AND access<={$aid} order by ordering";  $db->setQuery($query);  $rowsall = $db->loadObjectList();    foreach($rowsall as $rows){ $name = $rows->name; $id = $rows->id; if($incategory == $id) echo "<option value='".$id."' selected='selected' >"; else echo "<option value='".$id."'>"; for($i = 0;$i < $level;$i++) echo(" - ");    echo $name."</option>"; thecate($rows->id,$level+1);   }  } thecate($beginwith,$level); ?>    </select>
