Subcategory Count?

X-Cart version 4.3

I am displaying the subcategories only for the currently active parent category using the following code. I can not seem to find how to hide the info if nothing exists. What is happening is the unordered list is creating a space even if the list is empty. I want it to not create the list HTML if there are no sub cats of the parent cat.

I am also leaving in this code I am using what I *thought* should work but has failed me. (see red code)

Code:

{*

$Id: categories.tpl,v 1.35 2009/05/12 07:37:15 max Exp $

vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:

*}

  <ul>

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

      <li{interline name=categories}><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}" {if $cat eq $c.categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $c.categoryid}class="active_cat"{/if}>{$c.category}</a></li>

                {if $cat eq $c.categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $c.categoryid}

                    {if $subcategory.subcategory_count gt 0}

                    <ul>

                        {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}

                            <li>

                            <a href="home.php?cat={$subcat.categoryid}" class="sub_cats">{$subcat.category|escape}</a>

                            </li>

                        {/foreach}

                    </ul>

                {/if}

                {/if}

            {/foreach}

  </ul>



  {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-categories-list"}

Re: Subcategory Count?

{if $subcategory.subcategory_count gt 0}

There is no $subcategory array in this code. replace it with $c. The correct code should be

{if $c.subcategory_count gt 0}.....

Also check in debug window that there is such thing as "subcategory count"

Re: Subcategory Count?

Thanks Steve! That worked perfectly.

I still have not figured out the debug window though...

Re: Subcategory Count?

I found one problem. When I click into a subcategory then go to a product whose main category is the sub-category, the sub-categories disappear.

Here are breadcrumbs:

Code:

Home > Parent Cat > Sub Cat > Product Title

The side navigation only shows the list of parent categories.
