We would like to use this feature but are running into a problem, at the level when "products.tpl" or "products_t.tpl" kicks in, the entire menu disappears. Would anyone know how to show, just the parent subcategories there, instead of having it disappear.

Thanks,
David

Hm, it is have sense only in case of two levels menu tree - root categories and one level per root category. Can you confirm that you have only two levels category structure? I'll make some research which allow to show subcategories menu.

Yes, that is correct, there are only two levels on the site.


BTW, Nice Skins!!

Here is decision, tested on 4.1.9 and 4.1.11:

find this code in include/categories.php

#
# Gather the array of categories and extract into separated arrays:
# $all_categories, $categories and $subcategories
#
if (($current_area == "C" && defined("GET_ALL_CATEGORIES")) || defined('MANAGE_CATEGORIES')) {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat);
} elseif($current_area == "C") {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat, true, "current");
} else {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat, true, "all");
}

between comments and

if (($current_area == "C" && defined("GET_ALL_CATEGORIES"))

insert

$old_cat = $cat;
if ($current_category["parentid"] != 0) 
  $cat = $current_category["parentid"];

and find

if ($cat == 0)
	$subcategories = $categories;

and insert after

$cat = $old_cat;

You should get something like this

#
# Gather the array of categories and extract into separated arrays:
# $all_categories, $categories and $subcategories
#

$old_cat = $cat;
if ($current_category["parentid"] != 0) 
  $cat = $current_category["parentid"];

if (($current_area == "C" && defined("GET_ALL_CATEGORIES")) || defined('MANAGE_CATEGORIES')) {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat);
} elseif($current_area == "C") {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat, true, "current");
} else {
	$_categories = func_get_categories_list($cat, true, "all");
}

extract($_categories);
unset($_categories);

#
# Prepare data for FancyCategories module
#
if ($current_area == "C" && !empty($active_modules["Fancy_Categories"]))
	@include $xcart_dir."/modules/Fancy_Categories/fancy_categories.php";


if (!empty($all_categories))
	$smarty->assign("allcategories", $all_categories);

if (!empty($categories))
	$smarty->assign("categories", $categories);

if ($cat == 0)
	$subcategories = $categories;

$cat = $old_cat;

All done. Just save it and upload file on server.

You will always see subcategories menu (if subcategories exist) in any root category.

Thank you so much... did the trick.

This is exactly what I need - except that I need it for 4.4. This version doesn't seem to have a include/categories.php file and I can't find a reference on a system wide search for the code. Is this fix still applicable?
