Hi dharmendrarao,

Have you tried enabling and configuring the Layered Navigation module in your Back Office?

Hi dharmendrarao,

I'm a little confused about how exactly you want this to look on your site (do you have an example of a site with a similar set-up you're looking to replicate?), but after you enable the module, you can click on "Configure" to set it up the way you would like.

Since this is a community-developed module, you would actually do best to ask the original developer. I'm not familiar with this module, but ejectcore should definitely be able to help you.

As I mentioned before, I actually do not understand exactly what you want, which is why I requested that you provide an example of a site you are looking to duplicate with this feature so that I can provide you with a better suggestion. Is there a specific website that you would like to pattern after with this feature?

Is this code fetching category

 

function hookHome($params)

 

{

 

global $smarty;

 

$category = new Category(1);

 

$nb = intval(Configuration::get('HOME_categories_NBR'));

 

 

 

$smarty->assign(array(

 

'category' => $category,

 

'lang' => Language::getIsoById(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang)),

 

));

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homecategories.tpl');

 

}
