How to display subcategories into multiple columns?

eachone · #1 07-16-2003, 06:15 PM

How do I edit the subcategories.tpl in order to make it display in 3 or 4 columns and also with the icon or picture next to each subcategories? I am using V3.4.1

Original
Sub Cat 1
Sub Cat 2
Sub Cat 3
Sub Cat 4
Sub Cat 5
Sub Cat 6

Need to change to this:
Icon/S.Cat 1 Icon/S.Cat 2 Icon/S.Cat 3
Icon/S.Cat 4 Icon/S.Cat 5 Icon/S.Cat 5

Any help will be appreciate.

In subcategories.tpl

use the code:

Code:

{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
{ if %cat_num.first% }
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
{/if}
{ if %cat_num.index% is div by 4}
<tr>
{/if}
<td align="center">
<a href="home.php?cat={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
[img]../icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img]


{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</a>
</td>
{ if %cat_num.last% }
</tr>
</table>
{/if}
{/section}

This will also show the category icon there for you

makes all your products disappear, and u go to a blank page when you click on those new links...

That isn't the whole code for subcategories.tpl just an excerpt to replace the top part where the subcategories are shown.
