I have an question. When I open a catogorie in my site wich contents subpages you see the names of all those subpages in the right site of the site. I mean where normaly the products are showed. How can I change this. For accemple the page they where looking before still be showd there.
show us in a picture what you want to do.. it's very difficult to understand what you want. One pic is worth thousand words. Please include subcategories and products in that picture.

If you look on my site, www.sfeervol.net, and you open the categorie "beelden dieren" you will see all the subcategories named in the right side of the frame but also in the left side. If some one opens the categorie "beelden dieren" I want nothing to open in the right side. I'd like, if you open that categorie, that there will be the text you have before you were already in.
For example, if you're reading the page "markten" and you are opening the button "beelden dieren" you will still be able to read the page "markten" untill you chose one of the subpages.
Do you understand??

In my opinion, that isn't so easy to do, but... Maybe a topic bellow will give you an idea:
try to make those subcategories into "hidden pages". (disable their "status" checkmark in the administration) This will effectively hide the subcategories from left menu but you can still refer to them via links to their ID, like for example: http://www.sfeervol.net/?giraffen,10 (that number 10 is important, it's the ID of the page). Use this in any link on any page.
BTW, you should make the thumnail size on that siza at least 150 or 200 px, so that user doesn't have to click too much when browsing through the products. And also increase the quality of generated JPEG, while you're at it. I tried to browse throught the animals, but I had to click everything, since the thumbnail pics were small and low quality.
I have tryed to make a hidden page of those subpages but then it also disappears in the left menu and that is not what I want. I only want it to disappear in the right menu. And in the right side I want to show the page they have seen before the open the menu. But I am affraid this is not possible.
where in the hell is "right menu"? are you doing the column on the right as a "menu"?
Furthermore, you can just set up one set of pages in the "right menu" and the hidden set of pages in the menu on the left. Make the pages in the "right menu" redirect to the hidden pages. Problem solved.
oh I get it now. You use those subpages displayed on the right as "right menu"). Try this:
put the categories "Giraffen" etc. among "Hidden pages", where for example "Search results" page is.
Then just create HTML links in the content section of the Beelden Dieren page. The links would point to the hidden categories that reside in the "hidden pages" menu, you can also use css like this: [code] <ul class="subpagesList" id="subList1"> <li class="l1"><h4><a href="?giraffen,10">Giraffen</a></h4></li> <li class="l2"><h4><a href="?honden,11">Honden</a></h4></li> <li class="l3"><h4><a href="?katten,12">Katten</a></h4></li> <li class="l4"><h4><a href="?kippen,13">Kippen</a></h4></li> <li class="l5"><h4><a href="?paarden,15">Paarden</a></h4></li> <li class="l6"><h4><a href="?reigers,16">Reigers</a></h4></li> <li class="l7"><h4><a href="?vissen,17">Vissen</a></h4></li> <li class="l8"><h4><a href="?vogels,18">Vogels</a></h4></li> <li class="lL"><h4><a href="?overige-dieren,14">Overige Dieren</a></h4></li> </ul> [/code]

1. just move the giraffen, hinden, katten, etc. to "Hidden pages" menu
2. then just copy that code with links to your "Beelden Dieren" page.
And it's done.
BTW, I just entirely by coincidence (I was wanting to do this for months) finished a plugin that will take care of this without needing to copy any links or move any "tieren" to hidden pages. You can check out demo at: http://www.nlp.sk/qc/?barebone-systemy,106&sGoto=ag You could use this plugin in conjunction with "strict display of products in categories" (products are not shown in parent category, only in the individual subcategories), how-to is here: http://opensolution.org/Quick.Cart/forum/?p=readTopic&nr=5523
If you are interested in my brand new plugin, please contact me via e-mail displayed on this page: http://www.tigerware.sk/easyplugins/
I have looked at your page. You actually only need to move the subcategories to "Hidden Pages" and you're done.

I had a look at your demo pages and that looked reallY great. That is wat I want!!
I have changed al the subpages into hidden pages just like my "Bestelformulier" that means order form. But those subpages are not vissible like it is on your site, I mean there not vissible at all.
Do you think I need to change the script like you have written on topic nr 5523
I did what you have sad but look what happened now at to my site :-( . I can work a little bit with normal html but i think this is to hard fot me. I'm sorry dor disturbing you all the time
