Hi, I have the 1st level of subcategories displaying in the categories menu as described in this thread, but I also want to display 2nd and 3rd level subcategories in the categories menu too. How do I do this?

Has anyone been able to get this mod to work for version Gold 4.1.9? I have tried all of these with no luck. If anyone got it to owk could you post instructions and code here?

Did you check the thread I posted where it all came together for XCart Gold 4.15

I must have missed that one. I will try it and post back to let you know. Thank you for your help!

[divinechic]

I tried it and just got open line error and some other errors. I don't think it works for 4.1.9

awasson, any idea how I would extend the subcategories mod to show 2nd and 3rd level subcategories?

[staalejg]

Does this work for subcategories.tpl?

I assume it has to do with subcategories.tpl which is what I asked above.

Also, what if I wanted for all subcategories to show regardless of which category I am currently on?

I should appear around line 165ish

If you comment out that line, the subcategories will then sort by the Position Number you specify and not alphabetically. However, it will mess up the category order on the back end, which makes it more difficult to add a new product to the correct category/categories.

4.0.x Solution:

Only have the subcategories sorted by position number on the customer front-end by putting the usort in an IF statement as follows...
(Note: it's around Line 164 (4.0.19) and Line 171 (4.1.9) in my include/categories.php file)

if($current_area != 'C')
			{
			usort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");
			}

4.1.x Solution:
First, follow Post #22 in this same thread (on page 3):
http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=124458&postcount=22

Next, notice the usort is now uasort in the 4.1.x code...

			if($current_area != 'C')
			{
		uasort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");
			}

NOTE: Both of the 2 mods for the 4.1.x branch are in the same file: include/categories.php
