Horizontal 'Categories' and/or 'Manufacturers' Menu Query

Hi,

I was looking to change the 'Categories' and/or 'Manufacturers' side menu to display as a horizontal navigation bar within the head.tpl.

I realise that by far the easiest way would be to simply create a html table within head.tpl and populate it with the links but I would like to still be able to alter the menu within the admin section i.e. if I add a new category it will automatically add it to the 'Category' list as it does by default but for it to display horizontally rather than vertically.

I have searched the 'Custom Mods & Templates' & others section but could not find anything that would work for the latest branch of xcart.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

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

{/section}

use that

The only problem is you get an extra "|" char at the end of the last category. I modified it and added a test:

Code:

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$categories[cat_num].category}{if not %cat_num.last%} | {/if}</FONT>

{/section}

which .tpl does this code relate to please

hi sorry to be so ignorant.....which .tpl is this code referring to ?
I've ran a find search using snippets of the code of the source ..without finding which .tpl it relates to.
Any guidance appreciated.
thanks

The original poster wanted the categories printed at the top in a horizontal manner and the only place to put it is in the head.tpl.

For reference if you want the Manufactuers list to display horizontally you can use this code.

{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}
{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}{if not %mid.last%} | {/if}</FONT>
{/section}

:wink:

Digging up an old topic...but with a new twist because of 4.1 Beta 2.

Here is the file:

Code:

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{foreach from=$categories item=c}

<font color="ffffff">{$c.category}{if not %categories.last%}&bull;{/if}</font>{/foreach}

{else} 

{foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}

<font color="ffffff">{$c.category}{if not %categories.last%}&bull;{/if}</font>

{/foreach}

{/if}

I am trying to eliminate the last bullet after the category list and {if not %categories.last%} does not work??? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Louise

Just FYI - figured it out.....correct would be:

Code:

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{foreach from=$categories item=c name=categs}

<font color="#ffffff">{$c.category}

{if not $smarty.foreach.categs.last}&bull;{/if}</font>

{/foreach}

{/if}
