Nice post. Just wanted to say thanks because I used the code (modified it a little to more suit my needs) found here.

I am trying to get this code to work on 3.4.4 and when I go to subcategories it looks like it did. When I am in the admin area and try to add an icon for a subcategory it shows on the screen and says to hit submit. When I hit submit it disappears. Please Help?

I sell art and I have sub catagories of Artist names. listed alphabetically.

Under "A" I have about 40 names that I would like to split up into 2 rows. and then say under the "S" I would need to have these split into 3 rows.

Would I need to have this done for each of the sub catagories of "A" through "Z" or does putting it in once work on all subcatagories?

This will work for all subcategories. but you will need to decide how many per row you want them unless you want some seriously detailed code.

Hey this is awsome I didn't even think of doing this until I saw this post and it looks much cleaner than a long line of sub categories. Is there a way to add in paren after a subcategory how many of an item are in the sub? ex. SUBCATEGORY (4)

No biggie if not, we just think its nice for a customer to know how many of something are in the cartegory, which is an option you can turn on (and was) and disappeared with this mod.

I never really thought of this either but with an increasing number of subcategories this is perfect for not making the page huge and looks good.

Just wanted to show my appreciation, cheers.

Cool mod. I didn't see any icon images initially. To make the icon images show up, I had to tell it the source.

Was:

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

Now:

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

Also, to get rid of the ItemList text from showing up at the bottom of the dialog box...I deleted this code:

<TD align="left" nowrap width="95%"><FONT class="ItemsList">{ $subcat.category|escape }</FONT>
</TD>

The issue I have now is getting the icon images to line up horizontally. I have a couple subcategory titles that are long (two lines of text that is wrapped). When that happens, the text justifies to center vertical alignment...which pushes the icon image up throwing it out of alignment with the others. What's the easy fix for that?

I have got this mod working, the only problem is the follwing message comes up There are no available products under this manufacturer. under the sub-cat. listing.

This is the code for the sub-categories

{* $Id: subcategories.tpl,v 1.43 2004/06/24 12:31:10 svowl Exp $ *}
{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 %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={ $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid }">
[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/icon.php?categoryid={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}[/img]


{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</a>
</td>
{ if %cat_num.last% }
</tr>
</table>
{/if}
{/section}
{if $tmp and $products ne "" }
<BR clear="left">
<HR size="1" noshade>
{/if}
{if $products}
{if $sort_fields}
<DIV align="right">{include file="main/search_sort_by.tpl" sort_fields=$sort_fields selected=$search_prefilled.sort_field direction=$search_prefilled.sort_direction url="home.php?cat=`$cat`&"}</DIV>




{/if}
{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$products}
{/if}
{if $products eq "" and $tmp eq "0"}
{$lng.txt_no_products_in_man}
{/if}
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$current_category.category content=$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" }

Any ideas where i'm going wrong?
