petr.muller 1 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I have updated this module so that you dont need to alter any core modules and have also added CCC compatibility for prestashop v1.4. There is now a css file that contains all the formatting for the module. Images are currently set to display at 100px x 100px, but that is easily changeable by altering the css at lines 3,4 + 6. Also if any wants to provide translations, send them to me or post them here and i will update the module. Module updated v1.2 - Uploadable through the modules import on back-office. Category titles added. Css included in the module folder and NOT in themes/css/module/homecategories folder. Positioning improved (thanks to @itsallgood ) Module updated v.1.3 - Compatible with Prestashop v1.5.* Note: You will need to uninstall the old module first and then upload the new module and reinstall it to update the module on your server. homecategories for v1.4.zip homecategories for v1.5.zip For better ordering (if you make your ordering in 1.5.6, than you need my modification) please use this select in file "homecategories.php": $result = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->ExecuteS(' SELECT c.*, cl.* FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category` c LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang` cl ON (c.`id_category` = cl.`id_category` AND `id_lang` = '.$id_lang.')

I am using 1.5.4 but the images come out as question marks on the home page but display correctly on the next page after selection. Here is my url http://xtended.co.uk Click on the amor capelli category and you will see the image displays ok, I just want the same image on the home page. I know I'm probably doing something wrong.

Here it is : <!-- MODULE Home categories --><div class="home_categories"> <h2>{l s='Categories' mod='homecategories'}</h2> {if isset($categories) AND $categories} <ul> {foreach from=$categories item=category name=homeCategories} {assign var='categoryLink' value=$link->getcategoryLink($category.id_category, $category.link_rewrite)} <li class="ajax_block_category {if $smarty.foreach.homeCategories.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeCategories.last}last_item{else}item{/if}"> <div><a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="category_image"><img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-large.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /></a></div> <a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}">{$category.name|truncate:35}</a> </li> {/foreach} </ul> {else} <p>{l s='No categories' mod='homecategories'}</p> {/if} <div class="cr"></div></div><!-- /MODULE Home categories --> Thanks for assisting.

Epuyao 3 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Hey colin, Try it, <!-- MODULE Home categories --> <div class="home_categories"> <h2>{l s='Categories' mod='homecategories'}</h2> {if isset($categories) AND $categories} <ul> {foreach from=$categories item=category name=homeCategories} {assign var='categoryLink' value=$link->getcategoryLink($category.id_category, $category.link_rewrite)} <li class="ajax_block_category {if $smarty.foreach.homeCategories.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeCategories.last}last_item{else}item{/if}"> <div><a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="category_image"><img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-large.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /></a></div> <a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}">{$category.name|truncate:35}</a> </li> {/foreach} </ul> {else} <p>{l s='No categories' mod='homecategories'}</p> {/if} <div class="cr"></div> </div> <!-- /MODULE Home categories --> Around, line 9: <div><a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="category_image"><img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-large.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /></a></div> This line refers image category. In my case, I changed this: {$category.id_category}-large.jpg -------> {$category.id_category}.jpg I just eliminated -large.jpg Try it!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to change the category titles to capitals. Where do I change that and what do I change? 2. I want to change the text colour from the default grey to another colour. How do I do that please? 3.

The category titles are too close underneath the image. How can I increase the gap between them? Thanks for your help as always. Kind regards Colin Hi, here are the answers to your questions: First of all, look for the global.css file of your theme. 1. Search for the line responsible for adjusting the links and add "text-transform:uppercase;"; 2. On the same line you should see that it sets the color, changing that info it should alter the title color; 3. Open the file homecategories.css and search for the line 6. Over there you can add a "margin-bottom:5px;" and it should be enough; Hope it helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1RONMAN© 1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Hi everybody! First of all, thanks for a good module. I've used this module with 1.5.x versions, and it's great, but at 1.6 everything works, except images. I think that there might be some kind of a problem with code, but I don't know where it can be. Please help! I think this line of code need to be edited, it's around line 18 in homecategories.tpl: <div><a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="categoryImage"><img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-large.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /></a></div> basically I think that we should change this: <img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-large.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /> to smth like this (I found this in category.tpl from 1.6): url({$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}) 0 bottom no-repeat; background-size:contain; min-height:{$categorySize.height}px; It's around line 48, here's the full part: <!-- Category image --> <div class="content_scene_cat_bg" {if $category->id_image}style="background:url({$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}) 0 bottom no-repeat; background-size:contain; min-height:{$categorySize.height}px;" {/if}> I tried to do it in a few ways, but it's not working. I'm not really understand what I'm doing, so... Any help would be hugely appreciated! Edited April 9, 2014 by 1RONMAN© (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1RONMAN© 1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Update for my last post. I've found that when I use this code: <div><a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="categoryImage"><img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->id_image, 'category_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" /></a></div> Images are not shown, but I found one thing, chrome dev tools show error 404 for images and link look like this: ../yoursite/img/c/category_default.jpg But it should look like this: ../yoursite/c/12-category_default/category_name.jpg Don't know what to do. I'm just a noob in Prestashop development..)) But maybe it'll be helpful for those who know how it works and what to do..)

vicef 0 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Hello, I'm using prestashop 1.5.6.2 and I tried to install this interesting module. However, I get a repetition of these errors. I use a purchased template, but this can not cause the error I suppose. My site is not online yet but on localhost. I have cleared the cache repeatedly, both in back end as manually bu deleting the files in the cache folder. But this does not help. Is there somebody who could help me out?

Rich Walker 3 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Hello folks If you are still having a problem with images.

KevinNash 119 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Can you explain what you did in this tpl please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Walker 3 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Sure open the tpl file and look at line 9. <a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}" class="category_image"><img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$category.id_category}-medium_default.jpg" alt="{$category.name}" title="{$category.name}" class="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" /></a> Swap the code that is in bold above to the image name ( you can find this under Preferences - > Images ) Make sure you have Categories enable for that name. If you have it will work. If it doesn't, enable it and then hit Regenerate Thumbnails. Shout if you need anything else 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frenchbench 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Hello. Thank you for the great module. I installed version 1.5 and it works great. I have one question: How do I change the order in which categories are displayed on the front page? They are in correct order on the top nav menu and at the back end all categories set in correct order, but they are not displayed that way on the home page. Thanks a lot for your help.
