Default Re: Categories Menu - Showing Subcategories

Im using version 4.0.19...I have copied and pasted the different variations of complete code that are in this thread...the best I get is a menu with line seperators, but you cant click on any of the menu items!?! (ie they are not links)

I am pasting the code into customer/categories.tpl...is there anything else I should be doing?

Simply want a menu that looks like this

Cat A (link)
Sub Cat 1 (link)
Sub Cat 2 (link)
Cat B (link)
Sub Cat 1 (link)
Sub Cat 2 (link)

etc....

what am I doing wrong?

Default Re: Categories Menu - Showing Subcategories

I have got the menu posted by Chris2002 to work.. (added code to categories.php and categories.tpl)

Is there a way to modify it so that it only shows the sub categories when you click on the root category? at the moment it is showing everything in the tree..

Oh man! Sooooooooo close! The menu functions how I would like, but the problem is, it has repeated my company logo...somehow it is calling the head.tpl in the loop i assume, or the code is not compatible with 4.0.19

Well I am just over the moon. Gave it one last shot and I now have it working!

So for those of you that have 4.0.19 and want a menu like this:

CatA (link)
SubCat1 (link)
SubCat2 (link)

CatB (link)
CatC (link)

- The CURRENT category AND subcategory will be in bold
- The categories will still be in the default menu.tpl. (the code is based on awasson's menu mod..his div layer caused my head.tpl to repeat)
- Looks fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer

Here's my categories.tpl:

Code:
{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} ___________________________<br><br> {if $cat eq $c.categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $c.categoryid} <font class="ProductMain"><b><a class="current" href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}">{$c.category}</a></b></font><br> {else} <font class="ProductMain"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}">{$c.category}</a></font><br> {/if} {assign var=in value=$c.categoryid} {* CONDITIONAL DROP DOWN ITEMS FROM TOP CATEGORY *} {if $current_category.parentid eq $c.categoryid || $cat eq $c.categoryid} {foreach from=$allsubcategories.$in item=c } {if $cat eq $c.categoryid} &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<font class="ProductSub"><b><a class="current" href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}">{$c.category}</a></b></font><br> {else} &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<font class="ProductSub"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}">{$c.category}</a></font> <br> {/if} {/foreach} {/if} {* /CONDITIONAL *} {/foreach} {else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid} <a href="home.php?cat={$catid}">{$c.category}</a> {/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}

then I added these classes to skin1.css:

Code:
.ProductMain { FONT-SIZE: 12px; } .ProductSub { FONT-SIZE: 10px; }

I am really new to editing code so sorry if it's messy... would appreciate any constructive criticism.
