    How to change shadows to show assigned products on all category pages

    Want shadows to work like the below showing all the products.

    Old site works like this: http://www.decorativepaintingbooksto...s&sort=id.desc

    For example a product that is assigned to 3 categories. Pattern packet, letter of last name and name of artist. So when they click on pattern packets it shows all packets if they want to browse. But they can choose to narrow down using the links. Each link displaying what is in the narrowed down category.

    Are there settings I can't find? Or does it require changing the code. It is a dev site so am going to play around with it. But am trying to avoid toolkit stuff.

    Something like that would require re-coding as there are no settings for that. If you wanted to show the subcategories with the products below, you could modify the category page code to allow for that. A better solution might be to consolidate the categories, add custom fields to the products, and use those custom fields for faceting.

      Thank you Matt. Think re-coding is the only way to get this dev site done and up. Then can go do the faceting and go back to original code later. Have 15,000 items with multiple categories for each.

      Question: Have a few ideas how I can make it work will take some trial and error. Can you narrow it down a little?

      On CTGY page will I need to make changes to both Category Display and Category Product List Layout? Or just one?

      Have several ideas of how to accomplish what I want it to do.

        The best way to start would be to move the <mvt:item name="category_listing" /> token to below the subcategory IF statement in the Category Display section. From there, you may need to modify either section to your liking.

          Thank you Matthew. Working on that now. My thoughts was removing subcategory references from the product list layout and making them category. Then it will show the product list for each category. Have to leave in a few will be back this afternoon to figure it out.

            Thank you Matthew! Got it working. Just moved the <mvt:item name="category_listing" /> from after <mvt:else> to after the </mvt:if> Appears to not have broken anything.

            <mvt:else>
            (moved <mvt:item name="category_listing" /> from here)
            </mvt:if>
            (moved <mvt:item name="category_listing" /> to here)
            <section class="o-layout">
