Block Category only to show current category from lvl 1, and current and parent category from lvl2

[Supermanzo]

I tried following what is written in this forum to have hints on how to accomplish this:

 

on 1.5.3.1 block categories i'm trying to show only level 1 category and related subcategories

example:

 

home

--shoes

-----runners

-----boots

--clothes

-----shirts

-----pants

 

when i'm inside shoes i want only to see shoes and related subcategories and not clothes or other categories at the same level as shoes. When i'm in a subcategory (lvl2) i want to see only the parent category (lvl1 parent cat (shoes)) and the others subcategory at the same level (lvl2(runner,boots)). Can anyone help me on how to do it?

 

Thanks

Hi,

In order to block category only to show current category from lv1

 

open file \themes\{THEMEfolder name}\js\tools\treeManagement.js if any theme installed or if defualt theme then open themes\default\js\tools\treeManagement.js

 

Edit function

 

 

function toggleBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation) {

if(jQueryElement.hasClass('OPEN'))

closeBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation);

else

openBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation);

}

 

 

Replaced with

 

 

function toggleBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation) {

closeBranch($('.OPEN'), noAnimation);

if(jQueryElement.hasClass('OPEN'))

closeBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation);

else

openBranch(jQueryElement, noAnimation);

}

Hi.

 

You need to determine the absolut parrent of the currently viewed category in 'blockcategories.php' and modifying the 'getTree' function get only the children of the said category.

If you have no coding knowledge you will not be able to do the changes. You'll need to hire a coder to do so.
