Category Navigation Settings

1. From the Options list select Category Navigator. The following view will be presented:
2. Edit/configure:
Render Heading as Link
If enabled, this option will decorate the heading tag in the element with an anchor. The href attribute of the anchor will point at the “root” URL (i.e. the original URL of the page on which the element resides) with the root category ID passed on the querystring. This effectively acts as a “go back to the start” button.
Show Root Category in Breadcrumb Trail
If required, check to include the root category in the category breadcrumb trail.
Suppress Page Content On Change Category
If selected this option “suppresses” page content except for the navigator control i.e. all other page elements in the page will not render. Only when the current page is NOT categorised with the current requested category will content be suppressed.
