 ====== Browsing Settings ======
+Admin Page: **Site Setup > Browsing Settings**
 It is extremely important to understand that many of these settings ONLY apply to features displayed through the use of the {body_html} tag. Depending upon how your templates are set up, you may be using MODULES to display certain content. Those MODULES will NOT be affected by the settings on this page of the admin. To edit a module's settings, you will need to access that module directly in the modules section of the admin.
 ===== Category Browsing Settings =====
+==== Display Category/Subcategory Navigation ====
+Setting **Added in Version 7.4.0**
+This setting has 2 checkboxes, either check or un-check each box to turn on/off showing the category navigation in that location as part of the {body_html}.  This is useful if you simply do not wish to show navigation at all in one place or the other, or if you would prefer to use one of the category navigation modules instead of having the category navigation as part of the **{body_html}**.
+The 2 options to check/uncheck are:
+  * Home Page
+  * When Browsing Categories((Note: This replaces the setting [[#Display Categories/Subcategories]] in previous versions.))
+<tip c n>If changing category navigation settings in this section do not seem to have an effect on category navigation browsing on your client side (after refreshing your browser) you will need to find the category navigation module actually displaying that category navigation and make the change within that admin tool.  Those modules are managed here within the admin tool:

 PAGE MODULES > BROWSING > CATEGORY TREE DISPLAY MODULES
+==== Display the 'All' tab while Browsing Listings ====
+Note:  Setting added in **Version 6.0.4**
+When browsing categories, if the site has Auctions and Classifieds turned on, and turned on for the specific category as well, the classifieds and auctions are displayed in separate "tabs" to make it faster to show just what you are looking for.  Turning this setting to "on" will make it so that when it does have "classifieds" tab and "auctions" tab, it also uses an "all" tab, that is the default tab used.  This "all" tab shows all listing types.
+==== Default Browse View ====
+Note:  Setting added in **Version 7.1.0beta1**
+As of version 7.1.0 users can browse categories using 2 different options, either "list" view or "gallery" view.  This setting controls which view will show first by default.  If you have the setting [[#Display browse view links]] turned off, this will be the "only view" that is used on the site, there will not be options to change it.
+Screenshots of "list view" and "gallery view" to show as examples will be coming once the default gallery templates are complete.  ((TODO:  Add the screenshots once it is finished))
+==== Display browse view links ====
+Note:  Setting added in **Version 7.1.0beta1**
+If turned on, when browsing categories, it will show 2 links in the top right corner right above the browsing listings, for "List" and "Gallery".  This allows the visitor to switch between using the "list view" and "gallery view".  The links look something like this:
+  List | Gallery
+Note that it does use the language text.  If desired, you can change the text to use an image icon instead.
+==== Gallery View number of columns ====
+Note:  Setting added in **Version 7.1.0beta1**
+This is the number of columns to show during normal category browsing, when browsing using the gallery view **only**.  The default is to use 1 column but that can be changed to a max of 5 columns.
+Note that this only affects the "gallery view", since the list view already has different columns, one column for each field that is set to display during browsing.
+==== Show Sorty By: dropdown ====
+Note:  Setting added in **Version 7.1.0beta1**
+This controls whether the //Sort By:// drop-down is displayed or not.  The sort by dropdown may look something like this((Note that this is just to illustrate what is being displayed or hidden, the style of the text and dropdown will probably look entirely different.)):
+<html>Sort By: <select><option selected="selected">Newly Listed</option><option>Lowest Price</option><option>Highest Price</option></select></html>
+There are 3 options available for this setting:
+  * **Always** - Always show the sort by dropdown, on both the Gallery view or the List view.
+  * **Gallery Only** - Only show when viewing by gallery.  If using list view, it does not show the sort-by dropdown, and only way to change sort order would be to click on the column headers displayed in the list view.
+  * **Never** - Never show the sort by column, not even on the gallery view.

The Japanese method uses no decimal point.
