Show number of products per category

[samydavic]

Hi,

 

I offer a modificated Block Categories module that can show/hide number of items per category.

 

Tested in Prestashop 1.4

 

Please see demo: http://store.ixtusarte.com.ar

Available in: http://www.ingenex.com.ar

 

 

Best regards!

Here is the solution tested and working in Prestashop 1.4.7.

 

You can follow these instructions below or just download the already modified files from the zip file attached here.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Open "blockcategories.php" in the folder /modules/blockcategories and find this lines of code (should start at line 140 or so):

public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
{
 global $link;
 $children = array();
 if (isset($resultParents[$id_category]) AND sizeof($resultParents[$id_category]) AND ($maxDepth == 0 OR $currentDepth < $maxDepth))
  foreach ($resultParents[$id_category] as $subcat)
$children[] = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $subcat['id_category'], $currentDepth + 1);
 if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
  return false;

 return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
  'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
  'children' => $children);
}

 

And change them to this:

public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
{
 global $link;
 $children = array();
 if (isset($resultParents[$id_category]) AND sizeof($resultParents[$id_category]) AND ($maxDepth == 0 OR $currentDepth < $maxDepth))
  foreach ($resultParents[$id_category] as $subcat)
$children[] = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $subcat['id_category'], $currentDepth + 1);
 if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
  return false;

$ProductsCount = 0;
$ProductsCount = (int)Db::getInstance()->getValue('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product WHERE id_category = '. $id_category);

 return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
  'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
  'children' => $children, 'products' => $ProductsCount);
}

 

 

Then open the file "category_tree_branch.tpl" that you find in the same folder /modules/blockcategory and find this line (should be line 41):

  <a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

 

and change to this:

  <a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'} ({$node.products})</a>

Hi alexidro. I installed your script. Everything went fine but I always have to choose "Force compile = Yes" and "Cache = No" ( in the Preferences -> Performance Tab). Any other combination would make the category tree displayed without number showing. Do you have any idea ? Thx in advance.

[dhaiha]

I found out. Atfer deleting cached files on Smarty directory everything is OK.

Hi alexidro - I downloaded your files (many thanks for those!) but it doesnt seem to show the number of products in each category unfortunately. See here: http://www.dev6.designbyconet.com/category.php?id_category=3

 

Any ideas?
