This vQmod extends the standard Category module functionality giving you a number of advantages:

- Category list shows up to 5-th level of subcategories
- You can set top level category as module's heading and list only the children of the active top level category
- Excludes/includes the empty categories from listing
- Shows/hides the number of products under the categories
- You have additional CSS classes and elements for active and parental categories so you can do a better styling

How is this useful?

1. Your menu structure becomes:

Module's Heading
Top Level Category 1
- Subcategory 1.1
--SubSubcategory 1.1.1 -> 3-rd level
--SubSubcategory 1.1.2
---SubSubcategory 1.1.2.1 -> 4-th level
----SubSubcategory 1.1.2.1.1 -> 5-th level
- Subcategory 1.2
Top Level Category 2
...

2. When on category or product page you can use the module to show just the subcategories list, which could be very handy type of navigation as this way the menu is more focused on the current category which is a SEO benefit as well. Together with the horizontal menu it makes the perfect combination.

Top Level Category 1 (as Module's Heading)
Subcategory 1.1
--SubSubcategory 1.1.1 -> 3-rd level
--SubSubcategory 1.1.2
---SubSubcategory 1.1.2.1 -> 4-th level
----SubSubcategory 1.1.2.1.1 -> 5-th level
Subcategory 1.2
...

3. The 'ul' wrapping your list gets an additional class 'dbcategoryul' for more styling options.

4. The 'div' wrapping your category list is asigned an additional class 'dbcategory' so that you can style the menu the way you want it.

5. The active 'a' is assigned class "active".

6. The parental 'a' is preceded by an empty div with classes "menuopen" or "menuclosed" which gives you a full control over your new menu behavior.

7. Show/hide empty categories.

8. NEW jQuery accordion version is now available.

All the other features of the standard Category module: layouts, positions, sort order are retained as well.
