Subcategory Icon

Hi All.
I am having a hard time figuring this out...
I was able to show the Subcategory Icon with this thread...
http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=3848&page=22&highlight=subcategor ies+icons

Subcategory Icon shows on the Category page with bunch of Subcategory icons, but when I click on the specific Subcategory to go to that Subcategory page, then icon dissapears.

I added

Code:

<img src="{$subcat.icon_url}" alt="" />

at the beginning of the subcategories.tpl , but no luck..

Any help much appreciated....

Try used this code for subcategories.tpl.

Option:
{assign var="count_per_row" value=3} (3 - count column)
<img src="{$c.icon_url}" width=200> (200px - image width)

PHP Code:


		
			
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Bestsellers.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
<p />
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}
{/if}
<p />
{if $active_modules.Special_Offers}
{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/category_offers_short_list.tpl"}
{/if}
{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description}<p />{/if}
{capture name=dialog}
{assign var="tmp" value="0"}
{foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
{if $c.category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if}
{/foreach}
{if $subcategories}
<table   width="100%">
{assign var="count_per_row" value=3}

{math equation="floor(100/x)" x=$count_per_row assign="width"}
{assign var="count" value=0}

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

        {if $count is div by $count_per_row}
            <tr>
            {assign var="count" value=0}

            </tr>
            {*<tr>
                <td align=center>{$c.description}</td>
            <tr>*}

        </table>

        </td>

        {capture name=prod_index}
            {math equation="index+x+1" index=$count x=$count_per_row}
        {/capture}
        
        {if $smarty.capture.prod_index is div by $count_per_row}
            </tr>
        {/if}
        {math equation="x+1" x=$count assign="count" }

{/foreach}

    {if $count lt $count_per_row}
    {section name=rest_cells loop=$count_per_row start=$count}
        <td class="SectionBox">&nbsp;</td>
    {/section}
    {/if}
</tr>
 
</table>
{/if}
{if $tmp and $products ne "" }

Re: Subcategory Icon

Yurij, Thanks for your kind reply.
I actually was able to show subcategory icons with 3 columns in the main category page.
What I want to do is to place a subcategory icon at the beginning of the page right before the subcategory description.
I've been trying to do this for a while, but no luck at all..

If you're comment out 3 lines, you will be displayed the description category under of the icon category.

PHP Code:


		
			
.........
            {*<tr>
                <td align=center>{$c.description}</td>
            <tr>*}
.....
.....
            <tr>
                <td align=center>{$c.description}</td>
            <tr>

Ups... I forgot one moment... ;)

Open file "include/categories.php" and find next line:

PHP 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].avail,$sql_tbl[categories].order_by";
    } else {
        $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].*";
    }

And to replace those lines with this code

PHP 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].avail,$sql_tbl[categories].order_by, $sql_tbl[categories].description";
    } else {
        $to_search = "$sql_tbl[categories].*";
    }

Re: Subcategory Icon

Yurij,
I really appreciate your kind help. I was able to show the icons.

Here is the pic of it.

Now, how can I do this? This is on the page after you clicking on "Soy Sauce"...

Re: Subcategory Icon

Open file "skin1/customer/main/subcategories.tpl", find next line:

PHP Code:


		
			
{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description}<p />{/if}

And to replace those lines with this code

PHP Code:


		
			
{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}
<img src="{if $current_category.icon_url}{$current_category.icon_url}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={$cat}&amp;type=C{/if}" alt="" />
{$current_category.description}<p />{/if}

Re: Subcategory Icon

I love you

Re: Subcategory Icon

I have successfully modified tthe sub cat template to enable icons to appear but they blow out - is there a way to limit the icon size?

Thanks

Re: Subcategory Icon - 4.3.1

Hi

I just wanted to let people know that the code posted in #2 of this thread by yurij works fine in 4.3.1 . I added a style class to the table call to add a border and further styling and it was perfect! 3 columns of subcats displayed just how i like it :-)
