Display products from all categories under category subheading

[monish]

I need to display products under the heading of their category. How should I do that?

 

I mean: display products grouped by category.

by default prestashop displays products from selected category... so i don't understand your problem well,

can you shed some more light on your question please?

I have sub categories and I need to display the sub categories on category page with sub category heading. I can see all the products but I want to display them grouped by sub category under the sub category heading.

[monish]

I have modified product-list.tpl and added the below code:

 

{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}

<h2>

{strip}

{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

{/strip}

</h2>

{/foreach}

 

I am able to get the subcategory heading with this. Now I need to display the products associated to each subcategory under the subcategory heading.

 

Please guide me.

 

Thanks in advance/

in this case you have to add variable with products from each subcategory to the smarty array, there is no other way unfortunately.

(CategoryController.php)

I am new to PestraShop. Can you please guide me how I can do that. Can I do it using CategoryController.php?

it will not be as easy as it seems.

there is a function:

	protected function assignSubcategories()
	{
		if ($subCategories = $this->category->getSubCategories($this->context->language->id))
		{
			$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
				'subcategories' => $subCategories,
				'subcategories_nb_total' => count($subCategories),
				'subcategories_nb_half' => ceil(count($subCategories) / 2)
			));
		}
	}

you have to assign productList for each subcategory that you've got in $subCategories variable (with foreach loop)

it's pure PHP.

Vekia: Sorry to bother you again and again. I am using MegaShop theme and I am getting all the products as subcategories. Now I need to reverse engineer. I need to display products grouped by subcategory.

 

Only question now is how can I check(PHP condition) if a product belongs to a category or not? BTW I have php knowledge, I am only new to PestraShop, its variables and structure.

 

Thanks.

I need a condition to check if a product is part of a subcategory or not.
