Many thanks ExoZed and bluski!
I love this mod!

[shirley2005]

I want the current subcategory in menu to have different style, for example "Bold".
How to do this?

Thanks.

Not sure if you still need help with this, but if others are searching I would guess it would be done in this section:

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

Create a class in the stylesheet to control the look you want and assign the class to the anchor tag, like this (using whatever you have named the class in the stylesheet in place of the "SubCatStyle" I used here):

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

Hope that helps!

How can you display sub-subcategories with this mod?

i.e.

-Cat 1
--Sub Cat 1
---Sub-Sub Cat 1
---Sub-Sub Cat 2
---Sub-Sub Cat 3
--Sub Cat 2
--Sub Cat 3
-Cat 2
-Cat 3

I'm not sure what does the last part of the code do?

{else}
{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
{$subcategories[cat_num].category}

{/section}
{/if}

Nevermind just figured that one out...

[ExoZed]

To display further sub-subcategories you could just add a section loop within the existing 'subcat' section loop. This seems a bit convoluted but haven't had time to figure it out properly - there would be a much nicer way to do it in include/categories.php if you were to sort an array properly. But for anyone not bothered, smarty seems to be fast enough to handle doing all these loops...

{* $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>

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

				  {section name=subsubcat loop=$allcategories}
				     {if $allcategories[subsubcat].parentid eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}
					    >{$allcategories[subsubcat].category}

				     {/if}
				  {/section}
               {/if}
            {/section}
      {/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_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu } 

It's the section loop called 'subsubcat' that adds these categories, with a > infront of the name. This is the only thing I added to do this.

Hi All,

Is there a working url to actually see the demo of this mod?
I would like to see it if no one minds that is.

Thanks in advance!

This is a really great mod, thanks for posting it!

I just have a question - How would this code work with the new 4.1 version of x-cart?

for example - what would be the 4.1 equivilent be of:

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

TIA

Does this mod work in version 4.1.0 ?
