SOLVED: Category List Module disappearing

Hi, i've managed to setup a side menu, listing all the categories. Called "Categories Menu"

domain is: www.haiq.com.au - Online Shop

J1.7

The side menu listing the categories works, that is, when you click on a category, it displays the products in that category. (that was a mind f*ck).

Now, if I navigate through the categories and products using the Main Menu (Online Shop) at the top, the Categories Menu Module appears on every page. As I want it.

However, if I navigate using the Categories Menu Module, then that Module disappears and does not appear on the corresponding product pages.

How can I get that Module to appear on all the product pages, when that is used to navigate.

EDIT: on further thought, obviously the Module is appearing on the page I've assigned it to "Online Shop", and thus stays when navigation is done thru that menu item. But, when navigating via the Module itself, it's losing it.

EDIT 2: got it. I had to also publish the Module on the "hidden" Hika Shop menu I created to create this crazy module in the first place. Duh!

Yes, Solved so far.

I'm going to change my "Online Shop" splash page to a non-hika-shop page, and then try to use that sidebar Module Menu as the main purpose of navigation thru both categories and products.

I'm liking the product and am looking forward to modifying the css
