QC: {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN}

The {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN} QuickCode Tag, when used in conjunction with the {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-END} QuickCode Tag, will repeat the content between {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-END} once for each active subcategory of the current product category.

The content within the subcategory block may include static items that are repeated identically for each subcategory, as well as compatible category and subcategory QuickCode Tags to display individualized content for each subcategory.

Requirements / Prerequisites

The {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN} QuickCode Tag must be used in conjunction with the {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-END} QuickCode Tag.

The {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-END} QuickCode Block Tags may only be used within category templates such as the default category.template.php. When a specific category page is rendered in the storefront, content between the {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-BEGIN} and {SUBCATEGORY-BLOCK-END} QuickCode Block Tags will be displayed once for each subcategory associated with the specific category.
