Hi!

I am building a site where I choose 2 categories to a menu item. these 2 categories have subcategories, but I noticed that they wont show, only if I choose one category to the menu item they appear, but with two categories for the same menu item hides the subcategories.

I wonder if it possible to enable that option somehow cause it is very basic option I think......

Thanks!

Hy,

select your Categories in Menu, below set "Fetch items from children categories" to "Yes" and also your Layout options.

Regards

Also do not forget to disable "Catalog mode" in the category's settings.

sorry, I dont need to see the items of the subcategories, I ness to see the subcategories themself.
like this: Parent Category-> Subcategories + Parent Category2-> Subcategories2 all in the same page under the same menu item, I already tried the catalog view(on and off), didnt work for me, maybe Im not doing something right? :(

In the category's settings there are settings for showing/ hiding the subcategories blocks.

yes, the subcategory blocks are checked as "show".
I will try to explain better: I have a menu Item, under that menu item i want to show 2 categories: X and Y,
under each category I have something like 5 subcategories, those subcategories are not showing if the parent categories are under the same menu item, only when I choose one category the subcategories of that category are showing but when I choose X+Y under the menu item I see only the items of the subcategories and not the subcategories (with the title and description).

I hope it is possible to undertstand my problem....

If both your categories are under the same menu item, then the category's settings are not respected.
The menu item's settings are being used instead.

If you want to show multiple categories in a single menu item, you need to edit the menu item's settings. Unfortunately these options are only available in the single category options.

Thanks for your help ,
I really need some solution for this one, maybe a module that can bring the subcategories? like mod_k2_contant but with an option to choose more than items only? or a plug? something? can u recommend ?

Thank u so much!

You can use a menu module and use the menu's images and notes to include your category image and description.

but i need to have an Image, title and some text. is it possible to right text in menu item???

Yes,

The menu item can have an image and you can use the notes fields as a brief description.

ok I did it that way. thank you for your help!
but still, it would be great to have a module that brings categories, like the modk2_content but with an option to choose categories and not only items. Cause the notes that I broth to the menu item aren't so flexible , for example: I cant add a link to the note or use any word styles ,like underline or headings. Its not friendly for the user.

but thanks anyway!!!

for those who are still looking: there is a great extension for k2 menu, called: MEGA MENU FOR K2 , with descriptions for menu items and possibility to add more different fields.

Thanks for sharing this Alona :)
