This should be simple, yet I haven't been able to configure it.

I just want my subcategories of products to show up on the main product listing page.

My small shop is here http://www.1954mercuryregistry.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&layout=listing&Itemid=71 and I have changed the title of Product Listing to 1954 Mercury Memorabilia (so it's the default product listing). I have a subcategory called Spring Sale under that category with two products in it. I would like that subcategory to show up at the top of the page, but I can't get it to display the subcategory.

I tried publishing a Content Module for that subcategory, but that doesn't make it appear on the left panel either.

I have my HikaShop Content Module configured as in the attached picture.

Hi,

You want to display a category listing module right ? So first, you should publish the module. If it's not published, it won't be displayed. Then, you should change the type of content from product to category if you want to display categories.

Thank you, that did fix part of it. Now the Sale category is listed at the top, but I actually want to show it already expanded, not as a link to another page.

Also, my items are now 3 across instead of 4 with a border, when my div parameters still say No Border and my number of columns is still 4.

Ideas on that?

From what I understand, what you want is to create a category listing menu so that you get automatically the categories at the top and the products under the current category below it. You can do that easily by just creating a category listing menu as explained here:
www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...html#categories_menu

Your listing of products with three on a row is displayed by the module with the id 53 that you can edit via the menu Display->Content modules. You will get the options to change the display of that products listing there.
