Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

I am having trouble finding the include folder. I have read through all 26 pages of this thread and saw someone else had an issue finding it as well and got the following response:


"xcart is your root directory. Just look for the include folder and the catagores.php file should be in there."


Unfortunately, I just can't seem to find the include folder. It is probably obvious, can anyone help please? I can't wait to try this mod.

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

I found the solution for the subcategory icons not showing for version 4.1.10

The solution is to set the Image Location for your icons to file system and it works perfectly.

Thank you all

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

lindseyabrandon do you have your xcart in the root directory?

Anyway the include folder is inside the xcart root folder not necesarily in the root of your domain.

Hope it helps

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

I finally found my include folder...it was only accessible through FTP and I was looking in the Admin section. I think I have the mod installed correctly, but the images aren't showing up.
They are in the file system, but I am unclear how to make sure the permissions and htaccess files are correct.
I can see the category icons in the admin area.

I am so close to being done, please help! :lol:

Awesome MOD! Works well in 4.1.10 as well.

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

Ok guys, I am REALLY confused. I have been trying to find out how to put the category images on our site and I was referred to this forum topic. I do not know how to use this code or where it is goes....can anyone give me some direction here?

We are using version 4.1.11

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Mod for subcategories in columns with descriptions and icons
 

I hear you...I was in the same boat and ended up just spending the points to have the X-Cart people help me and I am glad I did. I would suggest that.
Good luck!
