Hi Everyone,
I just got my hands on K2 a couple of hours ago and I created a product gallery and here's what I have.

I created a main category "Plants" and then I created 3 sub-categories that inherit from main category.
So it's some thing  like this
| Plants
-- | Sub Category 1
-- | Sub Category 2
-- | Sub Category 3

I created a link "Item Listings - Categories" linked to the main category "Plants.
When I click on "Plants" I get the main category and the sub-categories as you can see in the attached image K2-categories.png.

However I'd like to know if it is possible to show only the sub-categories without the main category.

Thank you in advance

You can choose from the Categorys' parameters not to show the Category. You can do that from the Category View options.

Thank you very much Yiota, it worked.

I still get Children Categories, I guess I'll have to go into the code and hack it right? It would be into the component code or into the template code?

Thank you,
Helio

I would advise you not to hack any component files, but ideally work on the template overrides of the component. It's in the category.php file the line you want to hack :)

I love template over rides ;)

Inside your template under folder html create a folder com_k2.
Go to folder components/com_k2/templates and copy all the files under that folder.
Then paste them inside the templates/Your Template/html/com_k2 folder you have created and you are set.
Everything you want to change just edit those files.

And you will need to change the K2 template from within your category parameters, else it will just look at the default and not the new one you created.

It is also worth changing the name of the folder after you have copied it.
So after you made copy like Yiota said, you will have templates/Your Template/html/com_k2/templates/default.
change that default folder name, but NOT the default folder name found in components/com_k2 ;)

There is some extra information in the K2 documents section at K2Joom.com

Thank you very much Yiota and k2Joom, I'll give it a try :)
