List categories

[VopoloS]

Hello, gentlemen.
Say, Is it possible to display a list of categories on the main store page, if included multivendors.

Tell me please, where you can fix the code.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the categories module, a template overide and only display 1 level.
Another solution is to add a Joomla  module "customs" and add all the needed categories, so you can display all exactly as you need.

I understand that one of the solutions - this conclusion by category modules. I would like to know whether it is possible to deduce the category VM3 means that would not create additional database queries, do not load scripts and styles, etc.

And I want to understand the reason why all the same developers have gone to something that would turn off the display of categories with multivendor inclusion?

The problem is simple, VM set Vendor 1 always if no vendor is know. I'm not writing the code since 3 year, so perhaps if MAx(milbo) see this, he give you an answer.

You need to set the categories on "shared" and you should see them.
