The module is called within specific template screens with a render token. It is in the format of
<mvt:item name="catplst" param="getcats" />
The templates are listed at the Pages link. You will edit the template by inserting the token and clicking the Update (fig 7). Important: After adding the render token to a template page, you must click the Items link for that page, scroll down to the item name and assign it to the page (fig 8). These two steps are repeated for every page that a module's render token is used on.
1) On page 'plst' (product list), click the tab at the top labeled Product List Layout.
Insert the following just below the &mvt:product:name;
<mvt:item name="catplst" param="getcats" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:cats">

<mvt:foreach iterator="cat" array="product:cats">
