this part of the admin UI was not obvious to me at first either.

when you are looking at your category list, click the "folder" icon to the left of the category name.

create your subcategories in there.

why sub-categories do not appear in the menu (index)?? like this

product 1
product 2
product 3
sub product 1
sub product 2
product 4

Someone knows how can i do this?
thanks

i don't believe sub-categories show up in the list on the side at all... only your root-level items will.

when i get some time, i can look at writing the code that does this.

I'm also very interested in that code if anyone is up for it.

There are many solutions to sub categories on the left-side menu

There is the Dynamic Relevant Subcategories by Qphoria in the Contributions section of Open Carts main website
http://www.opencart.com/contribution/in ... tion_id/59

There is also http://forum.opencart.com/index.php/topic,654.15.html

Qphoria's contribution collapses and expands. Great for sites with a very long menu
The second one doesn't expand/collapse. Great for sites with a small menu

For the second one, if you are intending to use the SEO contributions, also read the SEO Contribution thread for the fix from 'category_id' to 'path'. You will know what I mean when you see the problem.

And the most important thing - Welcome to Open Cart !!!

PS: I just noted the title of this thread says PHP4. My answer ignores the PHP4 bit

In the admin all categories should be displayed, or make it obvious that there are subs. A js toggle would be good to hid / show sub cats.
