Categories and Navigation

[ColinM]

Main problem is absence of Nav bar when showing sub cats - see pic Nav-jd39-03.png

Also there is confusion between setting "Number of entries per Categories page *" and setting "Number of Subcategories" shown when  "Show navigation for Subcategories"  (not sure why there is an * in setting)

Some of the confusion between Categories and Sub Cats can be removed by extra documentation and also by repositioning these entries closer in the options page.
When setting for Categories the Nav Bar appears automatically if there are more top level cats than those being shown.

Hi Colin,
excuse me but I cannot reproduce your problem or I do not understand it really. 

By the installation should be all three page navigation active by default:
- for the 'overview' pages (main categories) on the top and at the bottom
- for the listed sub categories (on a category or sub category page) on the top

Also there is confusion between setting "Number of entries per Categories page *" and setting "Number of Subcategories"

The categories page means only the Startpage/Overview with the listed root categories.

Yes there is some confusion between Categories and subcats views.  I will have to write an article to sort out my own confusion
It also depends on whether or not one is using the subcat navigation that then involves the SubCategories layout.
ColinPS would it be easy for the subcategories layout to have its own header etc just lke other layoutsI have to change some of the text in subcategories layout anyway.

For clarification ( Sorry but I have never heard before that this should be really a problem  ):

In the examples below I am showing subcategories where the corresponding top level category has no Downloads of itts ownThe Option in Frontend tab  'Show navigation for Subcategories' is Yes and the Number of subcats to show is 3
There is something curious going on with jD3.9 subcats view - the subcats navigation is not showing!  The 3.2 one is as expected.

Colin.
are you sure that you use a untouched installation?
As you can see above it works for me as expected also in 3.9.

I have it tried on the demo page and have your problem. Sorry. Maybe I have a modified version. I will check it shortly.
