<?php
/**
* Category page BIG GRID
*
* the way it works
*
* - if the current current category have posts then display those posts
* - if the current category does't have posts then check the subcategories of this (current category)
* - if the subcategories have posts then those posts will be displayed
* - if the subcategories does't have posts then an empty area will be displayed
*
* - if the current category does't have post or subcategories then, the area where the subcategories links will be displayed + the area of the big grid will be removed
