This mod looks good....

It is also search engine friendly...

You may want to call the javascript from external file...

I cannot seem to get them to work with my current version. Plus they are not exactly what I am looking for. What I am trying to do is make a drop down of subcategories that will be placed on the home.tpl file. I am hoping to have about 4 dropdowns on the same page. I am using version 4.1.3. Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Solution for 4.1.6

Cat A
--Cat A1
--Cat A2
Cat B
--Cat B1
--Cat B2

Only one modification 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

thank you

Hi,

Yes you're right MallRomania, I foget to add variable in skin1/customer/categorie.tpl

Add this line were you need to show the subategorie

{assign var=in value=$c.categoryid}
{foreach from=$allsubcategories.$in item=c }

and then the link of your subcategorie (you modify it to fit your template)

<a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="CategoriesList3">{$c.category}<br></a>

MallRomania · #99 02-21-2007, 11:37 PM

Thanks, here is the complete code for skin1/customer/categories.tpl, modified to fit my template

Code:

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.26 2005/11/17 06:55:37 max Exp $ *}
{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>{assign var=in value=$c.categoryid}
{foreach from=$allsubcategories.$in item=c }<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo; <a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="CategoriesList3">{$c.category}</a>
{/foreach}<br>
{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="VertMenuItems"><li>{$c.category}
</li></a></font><br />
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}

It seems great, here's the full code page for you.

Code:

{* $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 $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{assign var="_categories" value=$categories}
{foreach from=$_categories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font>
{assign var=in value=$c.categoryid}
{foreach from=$allsubcategories.$in item=c }<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo; <a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="CategoriesList3">{$c.category}</a>
{/foreach}<br>
{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="VertMenuItems"><li>{$c.category}
</li></a></font><br />
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}

And you need to create a CSS with "CategorieList3" because it doesn't exist or use another one.
You have

Code:

 <li></li>

in the else section not in first one, maybe it's normal, because you gonna have a different display if you select to show the first categorie in the admin panel.

Thank you
