STORed · #34 09-15-2005, 09:03 AM

Yes,

The code in this thread is about 9 months old. I took a look at the 4.0.14 and it looks quite different. Is ther anything similar to this fo the newer version?

This works in 4.0.12--4.0.16
/xcart/skin1/categories.tpl

Code:

{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}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{$categories[cat_num].category}

{else}
{$categories[cat_num].category}<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">
{/if}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}
{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{$allcategories[subcat].category}

{/if}
{/section}
<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">
{/if} 
{/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 }

Now could someone maybe tweak this so the current "sub-cat" will be bold? Please! Pretty even!!

I've gotten close....but must be missing something.

Thats pretty easy, with your code change the following line:

Code:

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{$allcategories[subcat].category}

to

Code:

{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}{$allcategories[subcat].category}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}

Thank me later

Well Bless your pea picken heart! That works Great!

Thanks to alphastara for the final (DUH)

tweak, here's the copy & paste code for
skin1/customer/categories.tpl

Code:

{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}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{$categories[cat_num].category}

{else}
{$categories[cat_num].category}<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">
{/if}
{if $cat eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid || $current_category.parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}
{section name=subcat loop=$allcategories}
{if $allcategories[subcat].parentid eq $categories[cat_num].categoryid}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}{$allcategories[subcat].category}{if $cat eq $allcategories[subcat].categoryid}{/if}

{/if}
{/section}
<HR size="1" noshade class="CateMenuHr">
{/if}
{/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 }

I also added the CSS call to match the rest.

Thats great

I am now working on allowing more levels of subcategories...

Did you come up with the code to allow more levels of subcategories?
I could use something like that but I have no time to work on it. (I am under a major deadline and I am due to have a baby any day)
