make sure that you've got image defined under the preferences > images tab in your back office

August 23, 2013

Vekia - I know where to configure images in the back office but which image are you referring to?

Sorry for my ignorance

Bitmess

August 23, 2013

you need to define / change image named "large"

if this image type doesnt exist on your list there, you have to define it.

August 23, 2013

I have large_default

Is this the same?

Thanks

Bitmess

August 23, 2013

nope, "large_default" isn't the same. You have to define this image type (large) and then - regenerate thumbnails for this image type

Thank you!

Is there any way to make this module sort the categories alphabetically?

August 24, 2013

$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.')

LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON (cg.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)

WHERE level_depth > 1 And level_depth < 3

AND c.`active` = 1

AND cg.`id_group` = '.$id_group.'

ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, c.`position` ASC');

change c.`position` ASC to cl.`name` ASC

Hi, i've got a problem with order of the category images. I want them to be sorted by ID (or position in Prestashop categories section) of category (ascending). Everything is fine except for that first three categories are in the last row. How can i fix it? Here is a link to my website: http://ekomiejsce.com/

And homecategories.php :

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` = '.$id_lang.')
LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON (cg.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)
WHERE level_depth > 1 And level_depth < 3
AND c.`active` = 1
AND cg.`id_group` = '.$id_group.'
ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, c.`position` ASC');

Anyone has an idea how to fix it?

Regards

Thanks

if your website is online - please share url

it will be helpfull in this case due to the fact that this is related to css styles.

December 18, 2013

Hi

Site can be found here http://fotograaf-noord-brabant.com

Thanks

December 18, 2013

in module directory you've got homeceategories.css file

there is a code:

div.home_categories li {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 240px;
}

you can add there padding param, then you will increase spacing

December 18, 2013

It worked a treat............ Thank you

December 21, 2013

Hey

Just one more thing I cant figure out..............

How to increase the spacing between the photos and the Titles, if someone could assist please?

http://fotograaf-noord-brabant.com

Thanks

December 21, 2013

you can use this simple code:

.ajax_block_category a {margin-top:10px!important; display:block;}

where the margin-top:10px; is a value of spacing

December 21, 2013

As always, worked perfectly, thanks................ and Merry Christmas

December 23, 2013

Hello

I installed the module on my shop www.tabakado.net

unfortunately, I get all categories doubled. I think the problem comes from the multishop function that is activated (I have 2 shops)

How can I define the Shop ID in the php code ?

Thank you for your help and Happy Christmas to all !

After installing the free module homecategories ( which i highly recommend as a great module) is it possible to have a different picture on the actual category page than is displayed on the home page?

Home page

http://fotograaf-noord-brabant.com/

Wanting to display a different picture at top of this page

http://fotograaf-noo...en/9-huisdieren

Thanks

December 24, 2013

this module displays category cover image, the same file as you uploaded in category definition page in back office.

unfortunately, there is no feature to upload different picture.

you can modify category.tpl file (remove there code for display image)

and in category edit page you can add picture in description. it will appear on page you mentioned

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.')

LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON (cg.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)

LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_shop` cs ON (cs.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)

WHERE level_depth > 1 And level_depth < 3

AND c.`active` = 1

AND cg.`id_group` = '.$id_group.'

ORDER BY `level_depth` ASC, cs.`position` ASC');

Hi Pete,

Add the highlighted lines to homecategories.tpl. Replace 32 with the category's ID you don't want to appear.

Sorry, code doesn't highlight, it's the 2nd and the last but one line, with the IF.

February 6, 2014

Hi! Sorry, i'm learning english.

I installed the module., But does not show categories.

Once, I installed it and it worked fine, but then uninstalled it. Today I installed it but it says: No Categories.

Note: I have not made any changes to module's code

February 6, 2014

maybe it's related to some caching problems, try to clear cache in your shop (adv. paramters > performance tab)

February 6, 2014

Thanks for your reply Vekia,
Ready, I cleared the cache (adv. paramters > performance tab), but now disappeared categories = O

Now I can not create categories. Disappeared in the category tree, I can not see the category Home.

Attach a image.

PLEASE!!!! HELP ME!

February 6, 2014

it's definitely not default behaviour in prestashop.

have you changed something in catalog categories tree?

also, when you click on [+] do you see subcategories?

February 6, 2014

Thanks for your reply, again.

. 1 - I have not changed anything in the categories tree.

2.- when I click on (+) I can't see categories.

This occurred when I cleaned the cache

February 6, 2014

more than strange.

you've got cache ON? if so, try to disable it and also turn on force compile under adv. paramters > performance tab in your bo

February 7, 2014

Hey Vekia,

After disabling the cache, force compilation, and sleep 8 hours xD, I can create categories. But not displayed in BO. However, in FO I can see the category created, in the module Home Categories too.

When I want to create a category, I can see categories tree:

Example:

- Home

|- Category 1

But, not displayed in BO. What can I do?

February 11, 2014

Hi,

Now, I'm re-creating the categories tree. Homecategories Module is working fine, but in landing page, show an error:

Warning: Function addCSS() is deprecated in /home/xxxx/public_html/store/modules/homecategories/homecategories.php on line 34

Somebody help me?

this is only internal prestashop message, it doesn't cause any "crash" problems,

turn off error reporting, and this message will disappear

this message means that your module isn't fully compatibile with 1.5 version (it just uses old method to include css files) but in fact, old method also works in 1.5.

Hey Vekia, you're a good man! +10 pts.

Thanks for everything.

This issue happens because homecategories.tpl refers to incorrect image category folder. Please check this:

Around, line 9:

This line refers image category.

In my case, I changed this:

{$category.id_category}-large.jpg -------> {$category.id_category}.jpg

Try it! I hope that you could understand me.

Hey Revy94,

1.- Can you attach a screenshot of the module? or show the url of your store.

2.- Do you want hide the categorie's name and show only categorie's image?

February 26, 2014

The url is www.promore.it/shop

Yes i want to show pictures and hide the names

Edited February 26, 2014 by Revy94 (see edit history)

February 27, 2014

Hey Revy,

I'm sorry for late answer

1.- To change image size, set values in css file.

div.home_categories img{width:100px;height:100px}
div.home_categories li{float:left;margin:5px;width:100px;height:130px;}
div.home_categories h5 a:hover{text-decoration:underline;color:#444}
div.home_categories div{width:100px;border:1px outset black}

2.- To show pictures and hide names, try it:

In homecategories.tpl delete next line:

<a href="{$categoryLink}" title="{$category.legend}">{$category.name|truncate:35}</a>

Try it!

But (there's always a 'but') what if I have too many categories and wish to implement some sort of Ajax pagination?

Would that be possible?

March 5, 2014

hi i have a problem

get duplicated categories

To solve the duplicate categories showing up in multi-shop configurations, modify in /modules/homecategories/homecategories.php:

Replace

function hookHome($params)
{
  global $smarty, $cookie, $link;
 
  $id_customer = (int)$params['cookie']->id_customer;
  $id_group = $id_customer ? Customer::getDefaultGroupId($id_customer) : _PS_DEFAULT_CUSTOMER_GROUP_;
  $id_lang = (int)$params['cookie']->id_lang;
  $result = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->ExecuteS('
  SELECT c.*, cl.*
  FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category` c
  LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang` cl ON (c.`id_category` = cl.`id_category` AND `id_lang` = '.$id_lang.')
  LEFT JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON (cg.`id_category` = c.`id_category`)
  WHERE level_depth > 1 And level_depth < 3
  AND c.`active` = 1
  AND cg.`id_group` = '.$id_group.'

With

function hookHome($params)
{
  global $smarty, $cookie, $link;
 
  $shop_id = (int)$this->context->shop->id;
  $id_customer = (int)$params['cookie']->id_customer;
  $id_group = $id_customer ? Customer::getDefaultGroupId($id_customer) : _PS_DEFAULT_CUSTOMER_GROUP_;
  $id_lang = (int)$params['cookie']->id_lang;
  $result = Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->ExecuteS('
  SELECT c.*, cl.*
  FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category` c

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

Anyone out there who can help please ? Thank you.

March 28, 2014

I have three more queries and then I'm done I think - sorry but I'm new to this but learning fast !

1. 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.

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!

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..)

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?

Thanks

First of all try to activate default template and install the module again.

April 23, 2014

Hi,

I'm looking for home categories to prestashop v1.6. If You have, could You attach here ?

April 29, 2014

Hello folks

If you are still having a problem with images. Download the attached tpl and upload it into the homecategories folder & your pictures will work.

HERE

Edited April 29, 2014 by Rich Walker (see edit history)

April 29, 2014

Can you explain what you did in this tpl please ?

April 29, 2014

Sure

open the tpl file and look at line 9.

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

April 29, 2014

Thank you very much for the explanation

Hello. First let me say thank you for your module - HOMEPAGE CATEGORIES.

I instaled this module in PrestaShop™ 1.6.0.6 .

But the images from CATEGORIES doesn't show, is there something in the homecategories.tpl that I need to change to be compatible.

You can view a preview here:http://cloudsidea-design.com/fbi-store/index.php.

Thank you.

Hi, I have a problem.

Multistore turned on and display a duplicated categories.

Has anyone had this problem? How to fix it?

Thank you!!

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.
