You mean something like this?:

<%get_sub_cats($category_id)%> (will only work on category.html)

Code:
sub { 

  my $cat_id = $_[0]; 

  my $tbl = $DB->table( 'Category'); 
  $tbl->select_options('ORDER BY Name'); 
 my $sth = $tbl->select( { FatherID => $cat_id } ) || die $GT::SQL::error; 

  my @loop; 
  while (my $hit = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) { 
     $cat->{URL} = $CFG->{build_root_url} . "/" . $DB->table('Category')->as_url( $cat->{Full_Name} ) . "/" . $CFG->{build_index}; 
    push @loop, $hit; 
  } 

  return { subcat_loop => \@loop }; 

}

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi,

Sorry, realised I didn't give you the code to loop through =)

Try:

Code:
<%if subcat_loop.length%> 
  <%loop subcat_loop%> 
    <a href="<%URL%>"><%Full_Name%></a> <br /> 
  <%endloop%> 
<%endif%>

Cheers

Hi Andy,

how can I do that for the home.html? I would like to display a subcategory on the index page.

Hi,

You would just call it with the category number hard-coded, instead of $category_id. For example

<%get_sub_cats(1234)%>

(where 1234 is the category you wanna show)
