Mod to PhilJ's mod

Hi,

moded slightly to get it more as 27Stars to work with 3.4.8 and it works fine :)

{* ==================== Sub categories mod start *}

{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 3}
<tr>
{/if}
<td align="center" valign="top">
<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
[img]../icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img]</a>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">
<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
<font size="3">{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font></a>

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

({ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } Products)
{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count}
({ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } Subcategories)
{/if}
{/if}
</td>
{ if %cat_num.last% }
</tr>
</table>
{/if}
{/section}

{* ==================== Sub categories mod end *}

Okay that's a very sweet mod!

Is there a way to have a text listing of the subcategories on the category listing page?

ie.
Clicking on the main category will show a listing of the subcategories and the sub-subcategories.

I've been trying to figure this out with no luck.

Hope this makes sense...

Hey guys, how would I do this same mod in 3.4.7? I'm not familiar with what changes in each version...

thanks,
chris

Hi Wild,

just copy the post of PhilJ (below) into your /customer/main/subcategories.tpl it will works with 3.4.7.

GREAT MOD

Saskia :D

specify the number of columns where it says 'div by 3'

My code for 3.4.9. Displays 2 columns, cat name under the image, extra space between horizontal rows

Thanks to 27stars for getting us started.

Small Problem Combining mods

Real newbe, Thanks for a great mod, have combined main mod with 3.4.9 to run on new site migrating from Miva.

Running 3.4.8 & PHP 4.3.4RC1 but 3.4.8 mod did not work well.

2 problems, 1-still displaying "There are no available products..."

http://www2.photobadge.com/customer/home.php?cat=41

2-The border around products is cut off at top??

http://www2.photobadge.com/customer/home.php?cat=46

Would welcome any help

#1 Post your categories.tpl code here (use the CODE tags please, makes it easier to read).

# Your dialog capture is getting cut off prematurely. Post your products.tpl code here (use the CODE tags please, makes it easier to read).

We can get this figured out easily I am sure.

Hi adpboss, thanks for your help.

Here is the categories.tpl

Code:

My bad. I must havenot been paying close attention.

We need your customer/main/subcategoies.tpl file posted.

I think both of the problems are there. Again, my apologies. :?
