Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

I fixed my original post on page 14, so everything should work fine now.

Let me know if there are any more issues

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

Hey,
I tried the post revision on page 14... my layout for subcategories is all stuck on the default image. I have an image uploaded under the "zaki" category, but it's not connecting http://districtsixmusic.com/store/home.php?cat=249

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

What version of X-Cart are you using?

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

I was wondering if anyone knew how to call the root category icon from the filesystem instead of the DB?

Version 4.0.x

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

This looks good. But is it possible to have the image/text link to another subcatagory instead of a product?

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

If there are subcategories, it will link to the subcategories, otherwise, it will link to the products.

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

Hello -

I am almost have this perfect for my site as I have stripped away some code. Can some one please tell me how I can make the catagory icons (thumbnails) show up above the text and make those images a link as well.

Thank you

Here is my current code

-------------------------------

Code:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.43.2.7 2005/10/28 05:23:51 svowl Exp $ *}



{capture name=dialog}



{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description}{/if}<br><br>

{assign var="tmp" value="0"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

{if $subcategories[cat_num].category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if}

{/section}





{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

{ if %cat_num.first% }

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

{/if}

{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 4}

<tr>

{/if}

<td align="center" valign="top">

<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

{if $subcategories[cat_num].icon_url}<img src="{$subcategories[cat_num].icon_url}" border="0" style="padding-bottom: 5px;">{else}<img src="{$xcart_web_dir}/default_icon.gif" border="0" style="padding-bottom: 5px;">{/if} </a><br /><br />

<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

<b>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</b></a><br><br>

                        { $subcategories[cat_num].description|escape }</td>

{ if %cat_num.last% }

</tr>

</table>

{/if}

{/section}

{if $total_pages gt 2}

<br>

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

{/if}

{if $products eq "" and $tmp eq "0"}

{$lng.txt_no_products_in_cat}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$current_category.category content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

{if $products eq ""}

{if $f_products ne ""}

<BR><BR>

{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}

{/if}

{/if}

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

----------------------

Edit, it looked good until going into one of the suncats as I wiped out the products, hmmmmm......

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

Hi there,

try to change

{if $subcategories[cat_num].icon_url} ... {/if}

to

<A href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }"><IMG alt="{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }" border="0" src="{if $subcategories[cat_num].icon_url}{$subcategories[cat_num].icon_url}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}{/if}"></a>

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons

That worked great 27Stars- Thank you! This really should be built into X-cart.

If you saw my last part of the edit, I took the products off and changed some code about. When I click one of the icons now it goes to proper subcat but shows no products (my fault).

1 - I see no products (I know that is because I took out the variable) I was trying to get it to show just the icon and sub cat name and no products underneath as with this mod as it is. But that wiped out my products inside the subcat where they should show.

I am almost keep having it but mess it up :(

Thank you again

I am after this looking the way it does with these as the subcats then the page you would get there products
