for magento 1.5 I think ti retrieve the url you should use getUrlPath() function.

Manuel – Yes, it is, but I don’t have time to try and give you an example of how to do that right now. Dig through the Models that deal with categories in the Catalog core module.

Any ideas on how to make all the subcategories display on the homepage and not just on the top-level category pages? Thanks!

The links will only work if you include this code in a block with type=”catalog/navigation”.
