I have been trying to figure this out for quite sometime now.

I can replicate the error in both my store and early impact demo store.

If I visit my categories.asp page a list of categories shows up as expected.

Starting from the browse catalog link (viewcategories.asp) When I click on any given category link a pagestyle is added.
Such as:
viewcategories?pageStyle=h&idCategory=2

The pageStyle comes from whatever the store's main display setting is and then sticks with the category.

Here is the code from viewcategories.asp:
<a href="<%=pcStrCatLink%>">

This link is attaching a pagestyle that shouldn't be there. Or maybe it should by design????

It is kind of frustrating because I want my category pages to display as designed per category level not per store level.

Is there a way to edit the pagestyle out?

Thanks for your help.
Josh

This is a known issue and it was resolved at the beginning of January. The fix was posted in the " http://www.earlyimpact.com/productcart/support/#updates - Just In " section.

The "Just In" section contains fixes between releases.

Here is the fix:

http://www.earlyimpact.com/productcart/support/files/ProductCart_v4.0_SP3_BrowseCategory_Fix_010610.zip - Browse by Category Style Issue
Released on 01.06.10.
Issue: an incorrect page style was in some cases passed to subcategories, even if the top-level category used the correct page display style.
