Error: Id must be filled for categories tree

[Abbeywood]

Hello,

 

I started using Prestashop 2 weeks ago and I am finding it easy work with. I added a few categories and it was ok. I started products, now I have about 30 products. But at the moment when I attempt to create a new category I receive this error:

 

[PrestaShopException]

Id must be filled for categories tree
at line 97 in file classes/helper/HelperForm.php

92. 					{
93. 						case 'categories':
94. 							if ($categories)
95. 							{
96. 									if (!isset($params['tree']['id']))
97. 									throw new PrestaShopException('Id must be filled for categories tree');
98. 								
99. 								$tree = new HelperTreeCategories($params['tree']['id'], isset($params['tree']['title']) ? $params['tree']['title'] : null);
100. 
101. 								if (isset($params['name']))
102. 									$tree->setInputName($params['name']);

I searched the internet I found that I can comment this 96/97 lines, which makes it ok but it is still very disordered. Could you tell me what the problem might be and how it can be fixed?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,any news about this error?

[Pete78]

Had this error as well... here is what helped me (I upgraded from a 1.5.6er version)

 

 

Check if you have an "override" of AdminCategoriesController.php in /override/controllers/admin/

 

if yes, please look into this file and search for a "renderForm" method. If this method exits, you are propably using an outdated module.

 

The code in 1.6 changed a bit and the form generation is a little bit different.

Make sure you find this:

array(
'type'  => 'categories',
'label' => $this->l('Parent category'),
'name'  => 'id_parent',
'tree'  => array(
		'id'                  => 'categories-tree',
		'selected_categories' => $selected_categories,
	        'disabled_categories' => (!Tools::isSubmit('add'.$this->table) && !Tools::isSubmit('submitAdd'.$this->table)) ? array($this->_category->id) : null
					)
				),

and not this:

	array(
								'type' => 'categories',
								'label' => $this->l('Parent category:'),
								'name' => 'id_parent',
								'values' => array(
										'trads' => array(
												'Root' => $root_category,
												'selected' => $this->l('Selected'),
												'Collapse All' => $this->l('Collapse All'),
												'Expand All' => $this->l('Expand All')
										),
										'selected_cat' => $selected_cat,
										'input_name' => 'id_parent',
										'use_radio' => true,
										'use_search' => false,
										'disabled_categories' => array(4),
										'top_category' => Category::getTopCategory(),
										'use_context' => true,
								)
						),

Hope this helps ...

You don't have to delete the module. Just replace the code you found with

array(
'type'  => 'categories',
'label' => $this->l('Parent category'),
'name'  => 'id_parent',
'tree'  => array(
	'id'                  => 'categories-tree',
	'selected_categories' => $selected_categories,
	 'disabled_categories' => (!Tools::isSubmit('add'.$this->table) && !Tools::isSubmit('submitAdd'.$this->table)) ? array($this->_category->id) : null
	)
),

Hello,

Can you provide me where to begin?

or give me the full code,so i can copy paste it

 

Thank you

[Pete78]

Hi As I wrote:

Replace the code you posted in post #6 with the code I posted in #7

Thats's it

 

 

Cheers

[sergiool]

I have the same problem.
Using Version 1.6.0.14

The code you mention do not enecuentro in HelperForm.php file.

You can tell me the line number where the replacement of code posted in # 7 should be done?

 

Regards

 

Reread all again and I realized I was looking in the wrong file.

Segui's intruciocnes of Pete78 and the problem was solved, however, the presentation of the interface does not look good. Then that's what I will review.

Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem.

using prestashop 1.6.1.1 and the default shop front all was ok, modified the shop front still all ok, then I bought a shop front from prestacrea and had this issue

contacted there help and they said it was a presta problem and not theirs, odd that i never had it until I used their shop front.

 

Followed the instructions above and it worked so thank you to Pete78

My only add on is make sure you follow the path he tells you in post number 5

as there is another folder admin/controllers/

and you need the folder

/override/controllers/admin/AdminCategoriesController.php

Thank you Pete78, it worked for me.
