Filtering products to only those directly in a category

Say you have a parent category with two children:

Category A

-> Category B

-> Category C

By default in the Skeletal template, the Category A page would list products assigned to any of categories A, B or C. This can be little confusing in a large site. Is it possible to change the THUMB_LIST tag configuration to only list products which are in Category A, and not a child category?

This is the relevant line in the category template:

[%THUMB_LIST type:'products' limit:'[@config:THUMB_LIMIT@]'%]

You can add the show_child_products:'0' attribute to only show products from that category level. For example:

[%THUMB_LIST type:'products' limit:'[@config:THUMB_LIMIT@]' show_child_products:'0'%]

Unfortunately that's not what the attribute does. It controls whether child products ("variations", those those with a parent product) are included in listings. Testing confirms that behaviour, and it is off by default anyway. Is there something similar to limit listings to one category level?

As per my suggestion for this.

You can try `show_level:'1'` otherwise `show_next_level:'0'`
