Hey,

it is very good. thank you very much. You are good. :-)

Where can I modify the number of columns and a size of boxes?

[papich 35]

thanks for this module

 

I can improve your translation of french if you want...

[ckarone 104]

Hello officier.hu,

You just have to set a larger module width in the general settings.

For the size box, in the topcategories settiongs you can set the size box with the block width.

 

Ckarone.

[ckarone 104]

Hello papich,

 

You can send me the FR translation and i will include it to the module.

 

Ckarone

[papich 35]

Ta traduction est bonne il manque quelques accents...

 

juste je n'ai pas réussi à traduire "module width (W in px):" en "largeur du module en pixel:"

 

Personnellement j'aurai mis le block crédits à coté des configurations , et les blocs général, catégories principales...les un sous les autres pour plus de lisibilité

 

Tu demande de créer un nouveau gabarit d'image en médium 80*80 mais tu dis pas à qui on doit l'appliquer...produit, catégorie, fabricant....

 

De plus, il serait bien de mettre un selecteur de couleur et d'y associer le code en html pour plus de faciliter

 

Penses tu qu'avec ton module je puisse faire ceci

Great module, dont know if I've done anything wrong or if this is how it is supposed to look(2 of each category and sub-categorys showing) http:/www.newmotorhomesforsale.co.uk any help in this matter would be most appreciated as is the great module. Many thanks

[ckarone 104]

Hello,

 

It's strange, i'll try to figure out the problème.

 

What is your PS version?

 

Ckarone

[jonah2494 2]

Hi Ckarone,

 

I'm on 1.52 with a mutistore. I have not tried on any of the other stores yet which are all on the same version but I will give it a go and let you know if there is any change. Many thanks for your assistance in advance. very kind.

Hello,

 

Is possible to place only one photo per box/category? (of course it must full fill the category grid)

 

I've disabled products and subcategories, I've increased the size of the photos up to 300x300px but I think there are some margins that don't allow to make it.

 

You can see an idea of what I'd like in this website: www.hilosparacoser.com

 

Thank you very much for your help.

[ckarone 104]

Hello hilosparacoser, which margin is a problem for you, right / left or top / bottom of the image?

 

I currently working on a new version of the module including Jquery animation, it's a beta but you can try it, homecategoriesplus.zip.

 

Ckarone

[hilosparacoser 0]

Sincerely I don't know which margin is the problem. I've got photos of different sizes and each one has one position.

 

I think if I could know the space available for the image on the grid I could fit my photos to this size and change:

preferences->image->medium to this size and check where is the margin.

 

Thanks

[CameraTek 5]

Hi,

This is just what I've been looking for, brilliant module :-)

One slight problem though, the product images aren't showing. Its like your module cant find the images.

 

Is the latest version compatible with PS 1.5.3.1 ??

 

By the way, its been added to www.tekplanet.co.uk

 

Cheers

Please ignore my last post. Just downloaded the latest version and it tells you there to regenerate your product images :-)

[ckarone 104]

Hello CameraTek,

 

Can you confirm me that the module is working on 1.5.3.1.

 

Ckarone

[CameraTek 5]

Hi ckarone,

Yes its working for me.

Just the one problem I think is that when I add an image to a product it doesn't seem to be generating a 80 x 80 image for it automatically It might just be my config is incorrect.

 

Andy

[CameraTek 5]

What would be good if you had full control of which categories your module would show :-)

Category image is not displaying on the home page. What can I do ?

Don''t forget to create a image called "medium" with a width and a height of 80*80px available for categories and products.

 

You havo to refresh the product images.

Thanks and sorry my english

[jonysi_d 13]

Hello shacker ..

first of all ..! a fantastic module ...!

I installed your module in version 1.5.3 and it works almost perfectly. Now, there is a detail that is not working and that if in the back office change the order of the categories, since your module does not change the order and always has the same order the categories. It would be helpful to do so. You can look to see who would have to modify your code module for that if I change the order of the categories, also will change the order in your module???

 

I hope I explained well ..

 

thanks

Very good module, but i think needs several improvements:

1. Oppurtunity to upload Large icons of subcategories.

2. Oppurtunity to put borders around products something like in photo. Boder number 1 and number 2.

Edited March 16, 2013 by faunderis

[seog 2]

Thanks for your fantastic module. I need show categories in all the categories and subcategories. If I modify homecategoriesplus.tp the code that show only images of categories is

 

{if $jquery == 0}
 {if $categories}
  <div id="CategoriePlus">
  {foreach from=$categories item=categorie name=cats}
  {assign var='categoryLink' value=$link->getcategoryLink($categorie.id, $categorie.link_rewrite)}
	   <div class="CatPlus" {if $smarty.foreach.cats.last}id="last_item"{/if}><a href="{$categoryLink}">
				<img src="{$img_cat_dir}{$categorie.id}-medium_default.jpg" alt="{$categorie.titre}" title="{$categorie.titre}" id="categoryImage" /></a>
	   </div>
  {foreachelse}
   {l s='Price' mod='Ooooopss, no category'}
  {/foreach}
  </div>
  <br style="clear:both" />
 {/if}
{/if}

 

This works fine in homepage but If I add this code in product-lit then the categories don´t is showed

 

What code would I modify for show categories in all the categories and subcategorias in category page (product-list.tpl) ??

 

best regards

[ckarone 104]

@seog, this module is only for the home page, i sorry but i don't have time to do it for categories pages.

[lweinlan 0]

as Faunderis indicated, I think it is a very nice module, thank you.

 

However like Faunderis, I think it is very important to be able to change the size of the thumbnail.

Can you please indicate where did you define the link to the pictures in the code ?

 

How to change this link in the code ?

 

In my store for example, the code is currently pointing to "/prestashop/img/p/11-143-medium.jpg"

 

How to change the code so that it points to "/prestashop/img/p/11-143-large.jpg" ??

 

Can you please give the full path to the code so that I can find what to change, and where it is located ?

 

Thank you

maybe you should check the .tpl file and point to img src code. maybe you should add "_default" behind the filename.

[almed 1]

Hi.

I really want to install your module (it looks great) but I have a big problem.

 

When I go to modules-->add and i select homecategoriesplus, all seems work and it appears "module installed"

I can also see it in modules folder, via ftp.

But the problems is that I can't see it in modules list, so I can't install and activate it.

 

I tried with the 0.6 version, also with original name and renamed. With 0.5 the problem is the same.

The version 0 works instead (after install I can see it in modules list), but it doesn't work very well with PS 1.5.4.0 (no image, no possibility of change,..)

 

Any idea?

Thanks.

[kotkotan 3]

try this:

unzip module archive v0.6

rename folder to `homecategoryplus` without any digits, spaces, etc..

copy this folder to /site/modules/ by ftp

reload module page in back office, module should be there, click install

I have PS 1.5.4.0 its work for me, but i can't still fix this module to show pictures of the category and items:-)

Would it be possible to show just one subcategory per category?

[the hat lady 5]

I still have subcategories repeated on home page, I tried the recommendation above but it did not work, unsure how to fix this?

[Alejandro Fernandez 2]

Hello Crarone, I would like to display 12 categories and 1 subcategory on each.

 

I have changed the settings through the backoffice, in the General tab, I set:

 

Number of cat. 10

 

Nb of sub cat: 1

 

But still displays the full amount of subcategories on each.

 

Do you know how to solve this?

 

Thanks

@Alejandro Fernandez, try to clear your PS cache and force compile.

 

@the hat lady try the same as Alejandro Fernandez.

Thanks for your reply Ckarone, but it is not a matter of cache, I am getting as well many duplicated subcategories and its a fresh installation of the module, no settings done yet by me, and I actually get the same id category duplicated several times.

 

I send you a printscreen as an example of duplicated categories and subcategories.

Hi ckarone,

 

You have made a great module. Thank you. I have installed it on PS 1.5.4.1.

I followed all posts and couldn't figure out how to create images for each category/subcategory how to name them

and where to place them. I have placed the image in all folders mentioned in question 2 and clear cache, smarty, browser cache,

forced compilation etc. It doesn't work.

 

It appears that you cut and paste the same sentence regarding the images and it is confusing.

Can you please be specific and answer the following questions:

1. What should be the extension of the image? jpg, png, gif

2. In which category should I place the image? The module Images or PS img or theme img.

3. You have mentioned only one image name which is "medium".

If I have several images for categories/subcategories what should be the names and how can I

link each image to category?

Ok. I have managed to find images location and answer all my above questions

 

The images should be located under home/img/c/

 

If the category ID is 1 the image name is 1-medium.jpg

If the category ID is 2 the image name is 2-medium.jpg

If the category ID is 3 the image name is 3-medium.jpg

 

How to find category ID?

 

1. Backend catalog-->category. Look at the left column

2. Frontend from the top menu point on a category and on the bottom right hand side you will see

index.php?id_category=3&controller=category

hi Ckarone,

 

First of all thank You for the great module;

I have the same problem Alejandro Fernandez mentioned - module displays all subcategories (no matter what number of subcat. I set );

reinstalling or cache cleaning not helps..

any idea ?

 

thank You (or someone who solved the problem) in advance!

 

(ps 1.5.4.1, hcp ckarone 0.6v)
