[ic] Foundation - auto prod_group and category fine tune.

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com]

I am trying to make sense of the /templates/components/category_vertical
file in the Foundation demo 4.8.2
I believe this file is responsible for auto-creating the default Foundation
category link list on the left side.

The problem I am having is with a category that has the same name as another
category in a different prod_group.

Similar thread in the archives i.e.

Cat - Food
Dog - Food

Clicking on Food brings up the same list of items in either case.

I know that this functionality can be easily added with a typical IC search
query using a coordinated search but the code in this component that
automatically pulls in the categories and groups from the products file and
creates the links is a little beyond me. How do I get the code below to
create category links that will only return items exclusive to a category
within a prod_group. Something to do with [cat-exec bar_link]  ?
