Subcategories Icon

I am looking for some information that I thought I saw on here before.

Basically what I am trying to do is this...

I have category listings down the side of the page. When a customer clicks on the category listings, the main body of the page is populated with a textual listing of the subcategoires.

What I would like to do is modify the the customer/main/subcategories.tpl file so that instead of using text to list the subcat, it uses the subcat's icon.

Also, I would like to list them in three columns across.

Thanks for the help

Try this for "subcategories.tpl"

Code:

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.29 2002/11/26 14:55:13 alfiya Exp $ *} 

{ include file="location.tpl" } 

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"} 





 

{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"} 

{/if} 





 

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" } 

{if ($navigation_page eq "")||($navigation_page eq "1")}{$current_category.description|regex_replace:"/[\n]/":"

"}



{/if} 





{capture name=dialog} 

{assign var="tmp" value="0"} 



{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

{if $subcategories[cat_num].category}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if} 

{/section} 



{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 



{ if %cat_num.first% } 

<table border=0 cellspacing=5 width=100%>

{/if} 



  {if $smarty.section.cat_num.index is div by 2} 

     </tr><tr valign="top"> 

  {/if}



        <td valign="top" width="70" align="center">

        <a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

        [img]../icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img] 

        </a>

        </td>

        <td align=left><a class="alt" href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">

        {$subcategories[cat_num].category|escape}</a>




        { $subcategories[cat_num].description|escape }

{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}






<font class=Text>

{if $subcategories[cat_num].product_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } {$lng.lbl_products}

{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } {$lng.lbl_categories|lower}

{/if}

</font>

{/if}






        </td>



{ if %cat_num.last% } 

</tr></table> 

{/if} 



{/section} 

{if $tmp and $products ne "" } 

<br clear=_all>{*<hr size=1 noshade>*} 

{/if} 



{if $products eq "" and $tmp eq "0"} 

{$lng.txt_no_products_in_cat} 

{/if}










{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$products} 



{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$current_category.category|regex_replace:"/.*\//":"" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"} 



{if $products eq ""} 

{if $f_products ne ""} 





 

{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"} 

{/if} 

{/if} 

{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

you can see it in action here:

http://www.bitsnspurs.com/store/customer/home.php?cat=13

if you need 3 columns chnage

Code:

div by 2

Code:

div by 3

Thanks a bunch! That did it!

Doesn't that code remove the "x products" or "x categories" count on the right-hand side? Is there an easy way to combine graphic and count?

I updated the code above to show products or category counts after category description. I did not have a chance to test it.

That worked. I made some format changes, and moved some stuff around, but it worked as posted and you can see it here, with my changes:

Ok, this is exactly what i've been looking for! But there is something i don't get in regrads to have sub-category icons:

How do I get the Icons to show for each sub category? I notied the code went like this:

Code:

[img]../icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img]

But i have no idea where i put the icon images and how i link them to that img src (../icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid})?

If i'm missing something, can someone please feel me in. Thank you

You can assign icon to each category in "Categories" interface.
If you are using v4.X.X you will have to change

Code:

<img src="../icon.php

Code:

<img src="icon.php
