Glad you guys got it working!

I have an even better mod to do this same thing now. It will allow category headings in the main Root category menu and/or in the subcategories!!

Check it out! It's free!

Hi IndieDepot

Try this

Skin1/customer/categories.tpl

{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="`$fancycategories_config.modules_path`/fancy_categories.tpl"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 5}

<FONT class="CategoriesList2">Latest PC Systems.</FONT><HR>
{/if}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 10}

<FONT class="CategoriesList2">Main Categories.</FONT><HR>
{/if}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 90}

<FONT class="CategoriesList2">Latest PC Cases.</FONT><HR>
{/if}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 100}

<FONT class="CategoriesList2">Latest Gadgets.</FONT><HR>
{/if}[*]<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}[*]<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}<FONT>
{/section}
{/if}
{/if}

Thanks to Carrie at BCSE and AgileMolecule.

Add this to your CSS under CategoriesList.

.CategoriesList2 {
	FONT-SIZE: 12px;
	FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
}

This works fine in 4.0.14

Has anyone managed to get this (or a similar concept) to work with Fancy Categories? I've been playing around with it for a little while, but no real results yet....

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for our delayed reply. We've been swamped with questions, quotes, etc the past 2 weeks (well the whole month actually).

Are you trying to get the category headings to work or the grouping of categories??

Thanks,

Carrie

Not a problem, I understand we all get busy... and its better to have a business that is busy (making money) as compared to one that is not busy (losing money).

I was looking to break up my categories into 2 or 3 groups and then list the approperiate categories (or category group I guess) listed under a heading.

Heading 1
*Cat 1
*Cat 2
*Cat 3

Heading 2
*Cat 4
*Cat 5
*Cat 6

and so on...

The code provided doesn't work in 4.1.0 ?

The code on 4.1.0 is like this...

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.26 2005/11/17 06:55:37 max Exp $ *}
{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">{$c.category}</font>

{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList">{$c.category}</font>

{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}

Can anyone convert it so I can have my sub categories back?

COOL STUFF BBB

{/if}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 100}

COOL STUFF CCC

{/if}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 150}

COOL STUFF DDD

{/if}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

{/section}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}

When you say to set the initial category numbers on admin side you must mean the to do so by setting the category position numbers?

Thanks for the help!
