Hi,
I am bringing the site back to some basic features and would like to have the categories and subcategories appear as in this thumbnail:
http://forum.x-cart.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=613&d=1194132256
I had FancyCats active since the site launched in 2004. Can't seem to get the site to appear higher in search results. About 8 months ago I started to use Manufacturers. Those pages have just the default navigation and light CSS styling. They now rank higher with less content than my 6 years or older Category pages. The only thing I can think of is the JavaScript on FancyCats mod getting in the way.
So I disabled the mod and would like to rearrange the categories and make some root categories into child categories for easier navigation. However, when I move a root category to a subcategory status, it disappears from the left navigation. I could not find a setting in General Settings>Appearance or Modules to force the subcategories to display. I want to show them with some kind of visual clue to their hierarchy.
The thumbnail above is exactly what I want, but I can't figure out how to make it display that way. Any ideas?
Here is the code in categories.tpl
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}
{assign var="fc_cellpadding" value="0"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{foreach from=$categories item=c}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}
Thanks!
