change the new products table to a catagories table

[acbatchelor]

does anyone know how to change the index page so that it shows a table of catagories instead of a table of new products? i want it to show the catagories like in the catagory box in the left or right column but it shows the catagory pictures just like the product pictures. then after a catagory is clicked it takes them to a table of the subcatagories.

 

 

in other words, i want the catagories to show up like the products do.

I think there is a contribution for this, have you had a look?

Simple but limited -- find this code in catalog/index.php:

  $category_depth = 'top';

and replace it with this:

  $category_depth = 'nested';

If that doesn't do quite what you want, try the Category Images Box contribution (see my sig.)
