Virtuemart product categories

I need to have another level of categories for my products. Right now VM has only two levels (I believe): category and product. I need to have 3 levels (category, sub-category and product.) Is there a way to add this?

It seems like people must've done this before - clothing stores, for instance, might have 2 categories (men's clothing, women's clothing), each with many sub-categories (shoes, sportswear, coats), and each sub-category has many products (white running shoes, brown oxfords, etc.)

Here's a link to the site under development, if needed: http://elizabethlada.com/thermal/

In shop & buy template the categories look like here >> screenshot

The whole structure which you may think this are subcategories is made with menu. You need to ask at VirtueMart forum if you have some problem with this extension configuration. We would really want to help you but we are not experts of VirtueMart.

Thanks! Sadly, though, I have asked VirtueMart's forum 3 questions recently, and have received no replies Not like GavickPro!

I think I could solve this problem with 'views' rather than with categories anyway. Right now I can only see one way to link to the VirtueMart store front - which shows all of the categories at once. Is there a way to have a top menu item ("Department 1") that shows only categories 1, 2 & 3, and another menu item ("Department 2") that only shows categories 4 & 5? That would solve the problem!

Thanks!

Please check VirtueMart category view but as I remember it allows you to select only one category.
