Flexible Hierarchies enable you to add subsections (sections in sections) to your help center knowledge base. You can use subsections to create more levels in your knowledge base's hierarchy, up to six levels deep.
By default, the standard Copenhagen theme's section page template displays a list of each section's subsections. You can modify the theme's code to display subsections using other page templates or to change the look of the subsections lists.
You can only show the direct subsections of a section. You cannot show multiple levels of subsections.
Showing subsections on category pages
You can update the template to display subsections below each section's articles.
To customize the category page template
In the category page template, insert the following block after <section
class="section">
:
{{#if sections}}
<ul class="section-list">
{{#each sections}}
<li class="section-list-item">
<a href="{{url}}">
<span>{{name}}</span>
<svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
width="16"
height="16"
focusable="false"
viewBox="0 0 16 16"
aria-hidden="true"
>
<path
fill="none"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-linecap="round"
stroke-width="2"
d="M5 14.5l6.1-6.1c.2-.2.2-.5 0-.7L5 1.5"
></path>
</svg>
</a>
</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
{{/if}}
