anyone with the subcat fix?

sorry for the repost!

this work with 4.0.14???

Yes,

The code in this thread is about 9 months old. I took a look at the 4.0.14 and it looks quite different. Is ther anything similar to this fo the newer version?

Yeah, becasue I just tried this and its wayy FUBAR. :lol:

This works in 4.0.12--4.0.16
/xcart/skin1/categories.tpl

Code:

{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}

{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

{$categories[cat_num].category}




{else}

{$categories[cat_num].category}<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">

{/if}

{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{$allcategories[subcat].category}




{/if}

{/section}

<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">

{/if} 

{/section}

{else}

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</FONT>




{/section}

{/if}

{/if}

{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Now could someone maybe tweak this so the current "sub-cat" will be bold? Please! Pretty even!! :wink:
I've gotten close....but must be missing something. ](*,)

Thats pretty easy, with your code change the following line:

Code:

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{$allcategories[subcat].category}

Code:

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}{$allcategories[subcat].category}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}

Thank me later :wink: :D

Thanks to alphastara for the final (DUH) :wink: tweak, here's the copy & paste code for
skin1/customer/categories.tpl

Code:

{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}

{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

{$categories[cat_num].category}




{else}

{$categories[cat_num].category}<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">

{/if}

{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}

{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}{$allcategories[subcat].category}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}




{/if}

{/section}

<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">

{/if}

{/section}

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</FONT>




{/section}

{/if}

{/if}

{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

I also added the CSS call to match the rest.

Thats great :D

I am now working on allowing more levels of subcategories... :?

more levels of subcategories

Did you come up with the code to allow more levels of subcategories?
I could use something like that but I have no time to work on it. (I am under a major deadline and I am due to have a baby any day)
