The website is for samsung accesories.
So, menu item is Accesories > Samsung > Mobile Phones > other 8 subcategories. When i click on Samsung i do not want the attributes to be displayed on layered navigation. So i tried with anchor >NO, but i need the products. I need this because under Samsung i will have Mobile phones, Vacuum, fridge, air conditioner, etc.., with their on custom attributes sets.
I can transform subcategories for Mobile Phones into attributes, but the products will be all over. Can anybody help?
Layerd vs. normal navigation
The anchor option only disables the layered navigation, it should still be displaying the products (without the layered navigation sidebar) if they are associated directly to the category.
Product visibility
The fact that your products are not visible on the parent category only means that they are not (directly) associated with that category. In the product editing menu on the category tab you can set a product to be associated with multiple categories.
Product/category associations
You can also edit products from the Category editing page (from the products tab) which allows you to do some mass-associations instead of taking each product individually.
Open the product you want to show in the samsung category then on the categories tab check the "samsung" category also.This will show the products in samsung category.
I am looking for a possible way where I can only show the current sub categories withing a category on the side navigation on Magento e.g. when I click into a category I want to only display the sub categories of that category within the side navigations 'shop by category' and so on for the rest.

On the page above it is displaying all the categories and there sub categories where as I'm clicked on lighting I only want to show the sub categories for lighting.
Can I list all categories tree in layered navigation? Right now when I click on a parent category its subcategories are listed only.
Also can I filter products on multiple attributes. For example shirts of color red, black and green.
Above things possible in Magento with some coding or do I have to purchase an extension or is there any free extension that improves layred navigation?
you can do all these things through your admin panel
go to catalog->manage catagories and add sub catagories there... save it. you can see the changes in the front end of magento then....
I am having issues arranging the categories in magento. The system has more than 3000 categories. There are 4 level categories which means: Parent>Level1>Level2>Level3>Level4.
All the products are sitting in level4 categories and level1,2 and 3 are just empty.
What I am trying to do is under level2 display its sub categories using a static block and then under level 3 display the categories from level 4.
2nd issue is I dont want to show all the categories in the main menu bar as loading 3000 categories will kill the server.
I want to do something similar to this: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_super.asp?catids=%2C&name=CA_SU_Office+Supplies
Here is the link for the site: bindersnink(dot)ca
From what I can see in the Staples link you added, they only show top level categories on their main menu nav bar. You can do this in your Magento store by simply changing a configuration value. Just login to your backend, go to System > Configuration and click on the Catalog > Catalog section in the left panel. On that page you will see a section called Category Top Navigation. Change the Maximal Depth to 1. This way only your top level categories will show up in the menu.
Just note that if you want all products in child categories to display on the top level category page, you will need to go to the edit category page, go to the Display Settings tab, and make sure that Is Anchor is set to yes.
