Post adding subcategories problem 
I am adding subcategories and mostly working fine, except when I try to add a subcategory "Men" under the "Shirts" main category, it brings up both the products for the "Men" and "Women" subcategories. This does not happen under the "Women" subcategory. (I have not added anything under multiple categories using the :: )

I do not want the two different products to show under the "Men" category... how do I fix this?

In the code you'll need to add xm=on (exact match) to the links...
The store_header.html file is what houses the dynamic code for displaying the categories.
Find the following lines:
Code:
<a href="agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;product=$category2" class="ac_left_links" title="$category">


Code:
<a href="agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;product=$category2&amp;$sc_subcat_index_field=$category3" class="ac_left_sub_links" title="$category3">


Edit them as follows:
Code:
<a href="agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;xm=on&amp;product=$category2" class="ac_left_links" title="$category">


Code:
<a href="agora.cgi?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;xm=on&amp;product=$category2&amp;$sc_subcat_index_field=$category3" class="ac_left_sub_links" title="$category3">


HTH!

just to clarify:

for the first one, I have to add this below where indicated:

xm=on&amp;

for the second one, I have to add:

&amp;xm=onamp;

sorry to be asking so many questions all at once, I just want to make sure I edit the right things...

In the secure_store_header.html I am finding these three different lines which aren't the same as the ones in the other store header file, they have that extra $sc_store_url? part at the beginning, I am guessing they are the ones I'm looking for? which do I edit?

Code:

<a href="$sc_store_url?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;product=$category2" class="ac_left_links" title="$category">



Code:

<a href="$sc_store_url?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;product=$category2&amp;$sc_subcat_index_field=$category3" class="ac_left_sub_links" title="$category3">



Code:

<a href="$sc_store_url?cart_id=%%cart_id%%&amp;product=$category" class="ac_left_links" title="$category2">


thanks so much for your patience and quick replies!!!! Smile

Those would be the ones...
Just add the &amp;xm=on just after the %%cart_id%% token.

HTH!

thanks!

one last picky question...

in the edits I made in the store_header file, I only made edits to 2 lines as you instructed.
Should I be making those edits to 3 lines as in the secure_store_header file?

There are 3 lines that look like the first 2 I edited in both header files.

Yes... Make sure that you upload those files in ASCII mode back to the server...

HTH!
