Make a new category.tpl file --> (skincare.tpl)

Hi

i really dont know that my subjekt was enough explained, but the thing is that im making a new menu. Today i have two menus: one that is called manufactures (on the left) and one categories (placed on the right). I need one third menu, lets call it skincare.

My problem is following:
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories_menu}

Where can i make a new loop=$categories_menu} It must be called loop=$skincare_menu}

I have made a new categories.tpl , called skincare.tpl

Actually i only need to know where i can add loop=$skincare_menu} Is this a database(mysql) thing ? what can i do, i only need to add one thing and then my cart is very good.

Sorry for bad english :(

best regards,

you can only loop arrays that have been queried from the database so make sure youve pulled the data first and assigned it to smarty

This is what i did.
I made a new lbl , called lbl_skincare and added this to category_modify.tpl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:

<SELECT name="section">
<OPTION value="C"{if $current_category.section eq "C"} selected{/if}>{$lng.lbl_categories}</OPTION>
<OPTION value="M"{if $current_category.section eq "M"} selected{/if}>{$lng.lbl_manufacturers}</OPTION>
<OPTION value="S"{if $current_category.section eq "S"} selected{/if}>{$lng.lbl_skincare}</OPTION>
</SELECT>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see the $current_category.section eq "S"} for the lbl_skincare

Then i added the skincare.tpl to home.tpl
-----------------------------------

Quote:

{include file="customer/menu_cart.tpl" }
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
{ include file="customer/skincare.tpl" }
{/if}

-----------------------------------

Now in det admin backend under the link Products --> add new... i have now three categories where i can put my products =
categories
manufactures
skincare

so far so good :)

In my database inder xcart_categories the products that i have added to skincare are under section "S" Other products are under section "C" and section "M"

so i belive i have pulled the date to the database, but i dont know where i can add {section name=cat_num loop=$skincare_menu}

For my categories section the string is this:

Quote:

{section name=cat_num loop=$categorie_menu}

and the manufactures string is like this:

Quote:

{section name=cat_num loop=$man_menu}

Wich smarty are you talking about? I have checked all the smarty files, but i can not find the place to add $skincare_menu
smarty.php
Smarty.class.php
Smarty_Compiler.class.php
core.smarty_include_php
core.assign_smarty_interface.php

Where can i add $skincare_menu

Hi, me again :)

Im still not figuering this issue out. Where i can decide to make section name= and the loop=$ i dnont know. Is this related with the database? If so where can i add section name and loop name?

Please refer to above post regarding what i have done so far. A illustration below.

If I understand what you're trying to do, you don't need to edit loops, etc.

Check out this EASY way to get multiple category sections:
