Show only specific subcategories of a main category in the frontend

[jdcort]

i have 2 main categories "hidden" and "show". Each one of them have subcategories. The problem is: when i check "show categories" under Virtuemart->configuration->templates->VirtueMart Home Page Settings (TAB), then i get the two main categories ("hidden", "show") in the frontend. I would like to show only the subcategories of "show" main category in the frontend.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

make an over ride for components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default_categories.php and filter out the cat u don't want

yes,  i do make the overwrite allright, but the " foreach ($this->categories as $category) {" returns only the two main categories and not the subcategories, so, there's no point to filter between the 2 main categories, i need to show directly the subcategories of a main category.
