Seems to work except that the first row is one category too many
if divide by 2 then the first row has three cats and the following rows are correct with two.
is anyone else getting this.?
version 4.1.7

I solved it for me.
the code that assigns sthe var to 0 sould be 1

{ if $tmp and $first_subcat ne "Y" }
{assign var="tmp" value=0}
{assign var="first_subcat" value="Y"}

needs to be changed to

{ if $tmp and $first_subcat ne "Y" }
{assign var="tmp" value=1}
{assign var="first_subcat" value="Y"}

I don't know why that is on your system. Mine displays in two columns all the way down. Had the problem with one column on first and last rows until setting the cntr variable to 0 at the start. If it works for you that way, great!

I have all the parts in and working with the excepition of the category image showing.

see example:
http://www.nastygear.com/nastygear/home.php?cat=115
Beware adult products

Has anyone been able to get sub category icon images to show in version 4.1.3

Thanks,
Timm

Would you mind double checking your code for spaces? Particularly {$xcart_w eb_dir} and a few others have some spaces in there that were included during the post to the forum. Don't know why this happens. Have seen it in many threads where spaces are arbitrarily added during posting of code.

Double check that, if that isn't the problem, make sure you have assigned a category icon and that you can see it there in admin. You've probably already done this....Also, I think you may need to add a product to the category before the cat image will show. If none of this fixes your problem, I'll try to help if I can. I'm no expert though.

I have checked and removed all spaces. I have the Icon in the sub category in the admin and I have products added and still nothing....Help...anyone???

[Seacat]

Sounds like things are in order. Did you make the change to categories.php as outlined in post #1? I don't know how much difference there is between 4.1.3 and 4.1.6 with this. Can you post your subcategories.tpl? I'll see if I can help...Also, don't know what your original 4.1.3 code looked like in subcategories.tpl but in post #1 there was an [images] tag mentioned. Haven't seen that code to know if it was in there or not. May want to check and see the placement on that.

[Funinc]

Here is my subcategories.tpl...I have done all mentioned.

Thanks for taking a look

This I have implemented on a different cart with version 4.1.6

Same issue

OK, looked at your code there. You have a couple of other things going on at the beginning. Maybe you could paste my code in there and then add your other changes in to see if it breaks.

Change this part: {$xcart_web_dir}/self-defense-weapons.jpg for your default image. You may have to check again for spaces added during this post. This should fly for you. Then tweak it to suit for your Bestsellers and other stuff you have in there.

Let me know...

Oh forgot to mention, this file has been modded to show featured products on subcats that have products in them. Had to modify home.php lines 45-49 have been changed to this

#if (!empty($cat))
# include "./products.php";

if (empty($products))
include "./featured_products.php";

if (!empty($cat))
include "./products.php";

Which runs to line 52. Got this from another post.

[Funinc]

check it out same results

[Seacat]

Yeah, i see that...Looks real good if the images would pop in there.

Your view source shows this:
<img src="/v416/default_image.gif" alt="Antenna Pennants" />

Mine shows this:

<img src="http://www.misdefenseproducts.com/images/C/diversion-safe-DS-PEANUTBUTTER.jpg" alt="diversion safe" />

That it pulls from this part in the code:

<img src="{if $subcat.icon_url}{$subcat.icon_url}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/self-defense-weapons.jpg{/if}" alt="{$subcat.category|escape}" />

I suppose you've discovered that yours is pulling from the else condition.

I'm not an expert, but the highlighted part above seems to not be picking up. I'm sure you've been around this already. If the image shows in your admin side, it should pick that part up and display it.
My first thought would be some path problem somewhere. I guess this is as far as I can go with this. Maybe someone else can help you. Sorry! When you get it fixed, please let me know what it was. I'm curious because this should be working for you, same version, same code. Hmmmm.

Perhaps it could be permissions or something. I'd troubleshoot by adding a hard coded url to an image in your images/C directory over the highlighted part and see if it picks up. If it does then put the code back and it shouldn't be permissions on the directory, its somewhere else. Just a thought.
