Version 1.2 features
- 5 levels deep menu structure
- You can show/hide the empty categories in the menu
- You can show/hide the number of the products under the categories


Deeper and Better Category Module* has three main advantages compared to the standard Category module:

- Your Category list is one more level deep: it shows up to 3-rd level of subdirectories;
- You can set it not to show the top level categories;
- You have additional CSS classes for active and parental categories so you can do a better styling:
a) an item that is currently active and has children is assigned classes "active minus"
b) currently active item with no children is assigned the class "active" only
c) all items not currently open but that has children are assigned the class "plus"

How is this usefull?

1. Your menu structure becomes:

Top Level Category 1
- Subcategory 1.1
--SubSubcategory 1.1.1 <- added new sublevel
--SubSubcategory 1.1.2
- 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 <- added new sublevel
--SubSubcategory 1.1.2
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 and/or parental 'a' are assigned classes "active", "active minus" or "plus" which gives you full control over your new menu behavior.

All the other features of the standard Category module: layouts, show/hide product count, positions, sort order are retained as well.
