How to have a grid of categories on the home page?

Tagged: category block

This topic has been marked as not a support question.

I am wondering if there is an easy way to have Pavillion arrange a grid of categories on the home page? What I am looking for is similar to a ‘latest items’ grid – though where each tile is actually a category. Surely this doesn’t have to be done manually? I am finding the way the categories are listed a bit limiting – which is surprising as the rest of the theme seems highly adaptable and surely categories in a variety of displays is a common sort-after feature? Am I missing something obvious?	ploth

Hi, Unfortunately, there is no such functionality at this time, but we will surely add it in future versions. For the moment you will have to use a third party extension: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension&filter_search=category%20wall BR, ThemeBurn team	TB Support

@ploth A fairly easy workaround is to create a 3-4 column layout and use banners. You can then upload an image for each one and then link it to your category (e.g. yourdomain.com/category1).	Cdcstudios

@mmogamer Thank you for your suggestion – However that workaround is only really viable for a store with either a low number of categories – or a static category list. We have a continually updating & changing category list that would require considerable artwork and time to keep updating. I was hoping there was a template that would auto-update depending on the category tree…	ploth
