Thanks.
If that is the case, how would I do so for template(s) I created?
What I am trying to accomplish:
- when a user clicks on a main category link in the top horizontal bar, the left bar menu will display the sub categories for that category. I have been able to do this using {if $categories} in left_bar.tpl
- then when the user clicks a sub-menu link from the left bar, I need to have the sub categories listed again, but with the products for that category listed below it. This is where I thought I would use the MySQL query below to retrieve the sub categories and $cat_products to list the products below the current sub category.
Code:
SELECT categoryid FROM xcart_categories WHERE parentid = {$current_category.parentid} ORDER BY categoryid ASC
- lastly when a product is clicked on the same menu structure needs be displayed as when the sub category is clicked
## Left bar ##
Code:
{if $categories}
{include file="customer/main/category_pages_nav_create.tpl"}
{elseif $current_category}
{include file="customer/main/subcategory_pages_nav_create.tpl" products=$cat_products}
{elseif $cat_products}
{include file="customer/main/product_pages_nav_create.tpl" products=$products}
{/if}
