which file to edit ?
Hi wonder if anyone can help.....
Im trying to add extra code in specific category pages - (im using BCSE's Featured Products Manager) so im trying to add a line of smarty code. How do I see which php file I need to add the code to for specific subcategories ? I know which file to edit if I want to add to the main welcome page etc.... but not so sure about specific category/subcategory pages. Hope that made sense Using 4.4 |

Re: which file to edit ?
You don't edit php files in X-Cart, you edit templates. Your best bet is to use Webmaster Mode - it will tell you exactly which template is which. In general, subcategories are controlled by customer/main/subcategories.tpl, but there are now a few templates associated with that area.

Re: which file to edit ?
Thnx Balinor, using the webmaster mode I have found that it is either of the 2 files:
customer/main/subcategories.tpl customer/main/subcategories_t.tpl But if I added the code to either of these then it would show up on every subcategory page. So I assume I need to use if and else etc but im ok at click and paste and editing files but not at coding so if anyone could advise it would be great..... this is an example of the code for the featured product manager that I want to add to specific subcategory pages: {include file="customer/fts_featured_products.tpl" group="group_name"} |

Re: which file to edit ?
Try:
{if $cat eq "x"}code to show{/if} Replace x with the category id number. Haven't tested this with 4.4, but if that doesn't work we can try another smarty variable.

This works on 4.4.2. Thanks balinor. How can I have this work for both a category and its subcategories? Now, this code shows featured products for a "x" category, but not the subcategories of "x". I appreciate any help.

Thanks cherie. I tried as following. But it did not work. {if $cat eq "x" or $current_category.parent eq "x"} {include file='customer/fts_featured_products.tpl' group='groupname'} {/if} This shows featured products for x category but not for the subcategories of x. I appreciate any other suggestions. Thank you.

Now, is there a way to call the same featured products if current product is from category "x"? Many thanks.
