Thanks for any help.
This behaviour is already implemented in the native category tree module,
just configure it as follows :

I am trying to create a Category Page specific CMS component.
Is there a currentCategoryService that is similar to the CurrentProductService in Spartacus injectables?
If not, what is the correct way to get the current category data (or at least the category code) in my new component?
AFAIK, currently we do not have anything similar to CurrentProductService for current category. Looking at the implementation of CurrentProductService you can see that it is using RoutingService and it's getRouterState() method (picture 1). You can create something similar for current category, because the router state consists of category informations (as seen below on picture 2).
Picture 1: CurrentProductService:

I'm using the module provided by Prestashop but when I add the 'Home' shop category it doesn't link to the page where it lists all the products. Is there a way to link to the top parent category while it still having children?
The home category use this link:
www.mysite.com/2-home
This link works only in PrestaShop >= 1.7.x.x
In PrestaShop 1.6 is not "navigable"
If you want to link the home category from the module use a custom link and not the category that you find in the (multi)select
normally layered navigation block is only displayed on a few pages like category page, search pages. However I want to show it in the "manufacturer" page/controller. If someone clicks the "manufacturer" menu to show up all the manufacturers, I want to show the "layered navigation" on the left column of the manufaturer controller.
Does someone know how to do that ?
I am using prestashop 1.5.6.2 and a premium responsive 3 column theme.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
I want update this topic because now the addon to handle filtering on manufacturer product pages is available on official prestashop addons store and works perfectly :
Download blocklayeredmanufacturer module here

I just want to show some featured products on each category page (not home page).
I thought to use features or tags. So in the back, I add to the products I want to show a "featured" tag or feature. And then in the front on each category page I display the products of that category that have that tag or feature.
What do you think is easier? and how can I achieve this? I am so lost, so I'd appreciate any guidance.
Thanks guys
Here is how I would do this:
Create a module (obviously) to extend the product class and add a featured field (as a boolean, you can also use a position field if you want to manage something like that)
Within the module it's easy to override the admin controller to add a checkbox somewhere
On the category page, create a hook to display the featured product, or just override the categoryController to get them.
And voilà! It's really easy. I just give you the steps as I won't write the code for you :) but if you need more advices feel free to ask
