Besides, How to hide certain category from displaying? Thanks. Attachments: This image is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.

Hi,
This is the issue of VM_product_category module.
You can show 3rd level category but with a litle hack.
1. Go to backend, edit the module (mod_virtuemart_category - "By Departments") and choose the layout is "All". I think you've done this.

2. Go to modules/mod_virtuemart_category/mod_virtuemart_category.php
find this code ~ line 49:

foreach ($categories as $category) {

      $category->childs = $cache->call( array( 'VirtueMartModelCategory', 'getChildCategoryList' ),$vendorId, $category->virtuemart_category_id );
add after it
// Your hack code here
      if($category->childs){
         foreach($category->childs as $child){
            $child->childs = $cache->call( array( 'VirtueMartModelCategory', 'getChildCategoryList' ),$vendorId, $child->virtuemart_category_id );
         }
      }
// End of Your hack code
...

3. Go to templates/ot_.../html/mod_virtuemart_category/tmpl/all.php
find this code ~ line 35:

<div ><?php echo JHTML::link($caturl, $cattext); ?></div>

Add this code after above line:

<?php if ($child->childs ) {   // Your hack code here
   ?>
      <ul class="menu<?php echo $class_sfx; ?>">
      <?php
         foreach ($child->childs as $grandchild) {      
            $caturl = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id='.$grandchild->virtuemart_category_id);
            $cattext = $grandchild->category_name;
            ?>
      <li>
         <div ><?php echo JHTML::link($caturl, $cattext); ?></div>
      </li>
      <?php } ?>
      </ul>
   <?php    } // End of your hack code 
?>

Save them all.

4. Go to back-end, at Maintance page, clear all cache.

5. Try it!

Hope this help.

Thanks!

Hi,
You inserted the code for all.php at wrong place.
I said "Add this code after above line:" not "Add this code above line:"

So I attached the correct here.
But will not have any guaranty that it will work for you.
