Great Mod - But What if you are using File System

This mod works great if you are using the database to store the category images. But what if you change to a file system? When I click on the properties of a subcategory image I get:

Code:

http://www.profilespa.com/onlinestore/icon.php?categoryid=277

but if I check an item image I get:

Code:

http://www.profilespa.com/onlinestore/images/catalog/t_13011.gif

Since my DB performance sucks I would really like to change this to use my file system. Can I do this?

The code i'm using for subcategories.tpl in version 4.017 is:

Code:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.29 2002/11/26 14:55:13 alfiya Exp $ *} 

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"} 





 

{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"} 

{/if} 





 

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

{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"

"}



{/if} 





{capture name=dialog} 

{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 border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%> 

{/if} 



  {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 2} 

     </tr><tr valign="top"> 

  {/if} 



   <td valign="top" width="70" align="center"> 

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

   [img]icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img] 

   </a> 

   </td> 

   <td align=left><a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

<font class=Text>

{ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } {$lng.lbl_products}

Hey since a helpful person on here told me how to use Dreamweaver to alter my code I decided to try this mod and it works great ! Now the only problem is since I've been lazy and not bothered clipping my images to size is there a little bit of code I can put in there to display the icon/image at a certain size like 200x200 or 150 x 150 ? as i use the larger image in product detail too which prevents me running a batch job in Fireworks.

Thanks
and Merry Christmas

Description not coming through

Hi, This mod is great!!

One question though. I have copied both versions into my cart to try them out and they both work except for the won't bring in the sub category descriptions????

The piece of code I think is try to call it out is:

<td align=left><a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
{$subcategories[cat_num].category|escape}</a>

{$subcategories[cat_num].description|escape}
{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}

However it won't bring it in. Can anybody help

I tried searching for subcategories[cat.num]. Is this a database input?? I do not have a xcart_subcategories database.

Any help to get this working would be great.

Subscriptions Icon

Hey manage to get this working with help from 27stars and anoher forum link

Thought I'd shared in case anybody else is looking at this.

You need to go to the categories.php file and change the code

Original Code:

Code:

if ($short_list) {

                $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid,$sql_tbl[categories].parentid,$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid_path,$sql_tbl[categories].category,$sql_tbl[categories].product_count,$sql_tbl[categories].avail,$sql_tbl[categories].order_by";

        } else {

                $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].*";

New code:

Code:

if ($short_list) {

                $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid,$sql_tbl[categories].description,$sql_tbl[categories].parentid,$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid_path,$sql_tbl[categories].category,$sql_tbl[categories].product_count,$sql_tbl[categories].avail,$sql_tbl[categories].order_by";

        } else {

                $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].*";

Hope this helps.

The only thing else I'm trying to do is get the sub category description to display HTML like the product descriptions.

Can anybody help.
Still not very code with code.

Thanks

This is what I have been looking for...

This helps with having over 400 categories

Thanks for posting...

I tried to get the names of the sub cats under the pic. But no help... I tried the left to center. But it did nothing.

Can someone be more specific on what I need to do.

Thanks in advance,

This is great, i have managed to get the list into rows of 3's, i have also changed the icon to the null image but this leaves a gap between the rows. Can anyone tell me how to close these gaps up or make it so the category does not look for an image?

Thanks
