Re: Fancy Cats - Trying to show ALL cats + subcats by default

X-Adept, your code ALMOST works for me.

Here's my categories.tpl

Quote:

{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="`$fancycategories_config.modules_path`/fancy_categories.tpl"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
<A href="home.php?cat={$categories[cat_num].categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$categories[cat_num].category}</A> 
{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<A href="home.php?cat={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</A> 
{/section}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Whick gives me the correct first level categories. Second level shows the category number not the name and they are not in the correct place (should be 2-3 under each first level).

Why just the numbers?

Thanks :)

That's my question, I don't want the category numbers, I want the category names

Re: Fancy Cats - Trying to show ALL cats + subcats by default

Oh sorry.

I just managed to do this. www.wildelectronics.com.au/store/customer.

Notice the category area, it now has subcats visible.

However I want to know how to keep the main categories as links (as per normal) which will lead them to the page, where sub cats are visible, and products are too.

I'm also looking at ways of bolding the main cats, and adding images.

Would you know?
