that template coding didn;t want to work, i managed to get it working using the following coding instead :

{if $categories_data[subcat_num].root_category_name == $categories[cat_num].category && $categories_data[subcat_num].category_name != $categories[cat_num].category_name && $categories_data[subcat_num].sub_category_name == $categories_data[subcat_num].root_category_name}

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /hsphere/local/home/reginaha/shrinkbagsandmore.com/shrink-bags/templates_c/customer^categories.tpl on line 79


any suggestions?

Look at your line # 79 in categories.tpl and see if you are missing a bracket or closing IF tag.

[andreas04031]

my categories.tpl has just 29 lines, do you mean categories.php?

can you see something in the code below?

this is line 75 - 90 from my categories.php

$all_categories = $categories_data;

#
#
#
if (!empty($active_modules["Fancy_Categories"]))
	@include $xcart_dir."/modules/Fancy_Categories/fancy_categories.php";

#
# Put all root categories to $categories array
# Put all subcategories of current_category to $categories array
#
if (!empty($current_category))
	$cur_dir_len = strlen($current_category["category"]);

foreach($all_categories as $all_category) {

thanks for your time, andreas

Can anyone help adapt this mod for 4.0.0? The variables in the categories.php file are different, and I'm no longer certain what to change ...

Looking in the settings for 4.0 there is a checkbox in the general settings that will display your subcategories where your categories go....

Where is this option in v4.0.4 I am sure its just me but I cannot seem to find this

Many thanks for this code. It worked out great !!!

Here is the code for those of you whom wish to retain the default style sheet and main category link;

<font class=CategoriesList>
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

<a href="home.php?cat={$categories[cat_num].categoryid}" class=VertMenuItems>{$categories[cat_num].category_name}

<span class="sub" id="{$categories[cat_num].categoryid}">
{section name=subcat_num loop=$categories_data}
{if $categories_data[subcat_num].root_category_name == $categories[cat_num].category && $categories_data[subcat_num].category_name != $categories[cat_num].category_name}   
<a href="home.php?cat={$categories_data[subcat_num].categoryid}">
-{$categories_data[subcat_num].category_name}
{/if}

{/section}
</span>
{/section}



</A></font>

Here's what worked for me in 4.0.x:

In skin1/customer/categories.tpl:

1. Find the following line:

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

2. Insert the following code AFTER the line you just found:

{section name=sub_num loop=$allcategories}
{if $allcategories[sub_num].parentid == $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">- {$allcategories[sub_num].category}</font>

{/if}
{/section}

3. Save and refresh.
