[chamberinternet]

Hello ..

I did manage to get it working (with some help from the guys @ XCart Support)

This is how it's done:

Modify the "<xcart-dir>/include/categories.php" file:

1) find the following line (it is 290th in X-Cart v4.1.0 by default)

if (($current_area == "C" && defined("GET_ALL_CATEGORIES")) || defined('MANAGE_CATEGORIES')) {

2) replace it with the next one

if (($current_area == "C") || defined('MANAGE_CATEGORIES')) {


Then edit categories.tpl replace with the following code after {if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}


{foreach from=$categories item=c}
<font class="CategoriesList">{$c.category}</font>
<ul>
{foreach from=$allcategories item=cat}
{if $cat.parentid eq $c.categoryid}[*]<font class="CategoriesList">{$cat.category}</font>
{/if}
{/foreach}[/list]{/foreach}

Hope this helps ...

Regards

I modified your code so that all main categories will show on home page and when you click on a main category, only the subcats for that cat will show (and stay shown!) while the main categories will always show.

I'm new to PHP and Smarty, so someone please check my code.

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.23 2004/06/24 09:53:29 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{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}
         <FONT class="CategoriesList">{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

      {if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
            {section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}
               {if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
                  {$allcategories[subcat].category}

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

      {/section}
   {/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

I've tried using this in Version 4.0.18.

The links work and i get the right amount for each category. My problem is, instead of displaying the sub-category name, it just displays "Array" over and over.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

This works great on 4.1.3! However, the subcategories are not displaying in the order they are specified to order by (based on pos).. any idea how to do that?

Fixed it.. you need to comment out the following line in include/categories.php to sort the subcategories by pos:

usort($all_categories, "func_categories_sort");

I should appear around line 165ish

Hi,

I am using X-Cart 4.1.2 Gold, and would like to use your modification. I do not see a skin1/categories.tpl file. Am I missing some interpretation of your post?

Thanks,

Will

Hope someone is still looking at this one.

I used this code in the /customer/categories.tpl.

It does display the subcategories under the Main Categories as hoped.

The first issue is, that the subcat list items are not linked to the subcategories pages.

The second issue is that I have made the menu column wider, and the sub cat list does not have line breaks, so they run on as one line.

Can some one help with this?

Thanks,
Gary

Here is the code I'm using:


{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.23 2004/06/24 09:53:29 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{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}
<FONT class="CategoriesList"><A href="home.php?cat={$categories[cat_num].categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$categories[cat_num].category}</A></FONT><BR>
{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}
{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{$allcategories[subcat].category}
{/if}
{/section}
{/section}
{else}
{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<FONT class="CategoriesList"><A href="home.php?cat={$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</A></FONT><BR>
{/section}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Here is my categories.tpl file:

{* $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"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{foreach from=$allcategories item=cat}
{if $cat.parentid eq $c.categoryid}<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$cat.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$cat.category}</a>
</font>
<br />
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}

The text in bold will correct both issues for you.

Thanks,

{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

This works for me using version 4.1.6. Can anyone show me how to keep the 2nd level subcategories showing, all the time? Thanks in advance.

[chris2002]

Solution for 4.1.6

in incude/categorie.php

Search for this in your code :
#
# Override subcategory_count for Admin area
#
if(!empty($subcategories) && ($current_area == 'A' || ($current_area == 'P' && $active_modules['Simple_Mode']))) {
$product_counts = func_query_hash("SELECT categoryid, COUNT(*) FROM $sql_tbl[products_categories] WHERE categoryid IN ('".implode("','", array_keys($subcategories))."') GROUP BY categoryid", "categoryid", false, true);
foreach($subcategories as $k => $v) {
$subcategories[$k]['subcategory_count'] = func_query_first_cell("SELECT COUNT(subcat.categoryid) as subc FROM $sql_tbl[categories] USE INDEX (PRIMARY) LEFT JOIN $sql_tbl[categories] as subcat ON subcat.categoryid_path LIKE CONCAT($sql_tbl[categories].categoryid_path, '/%') WHERE $sql_tbl[categories].categoryid = '$k' GROUP BY $sql_tbl[categories].categoryid");
$subcategories[$k]['product_count_global'] = $subcategories[$k]['product_count'];
$subcategories[$k]['product_count'] = isset($product_counts[$k]) ? intval($product_counts[$k]) : 0;
}
}



then add this just below the line :


//Subcategories in menu
function func_getallsubcat()
{
$raj =func_get_categories_list("", true, "all");
$raj1=$raj['all_categories'];
$ll=array();
foreach ($raj1 as $k=>$val)
{
if($val['parentid']!="0")
{
$ll[$val['parentid']][]=$val;
}
}
return $ll;
}
$smarty->assign("allsubcategories", func_getallsubcat());
//Subcategorie in menu - end
