Magento is the leading e-commerce platform gaining in popularity. This magento discussion

For the site I’m working on we needed to be able to drill down the category menu to view the products but still see the sub categories in the left column. Using app\design\frontend\OC\default\template\catalog\navigation\left.phtml I was able to do this BUT once you reached the bottom category the menu was blank because the code provided in Magento simply can’t find any more sub categories so shows nothing. However, I needed the menu to be a bit smarter and to realise that it was at the lowest level and get the menu from it’s parent level instead and display that.
