[SOLVED] Categories

Papaya · March 17, 2010

Hope someone can help me...

I just want to create a page like this: http://www.wowo.fr/97-20-euros

If I go to Shoes I want to find this:

Shoes:
  Running 
  Boots
  Heels

and not go to the Shoes category and see the other categories too!

-Shoes: 
  Running 
  Boots
  Heels

-T-shirt
-Skirt

How can I do this?

Thanks!

Try changing lines 9-13 of modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.tpl from:

{if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
   {include file=$branche_tpl_path node=$child last='true'}
{else}
   {include file=$branche_tpl_path node=$child}
{/if}

to:

{if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
   {include file=$branche_tpl_path node=$child depth=1 last='true'}
{else}
   {include file=$branche_tpl_path node=$child depth=1}
{/if}

then change modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl to:

>
{assign var='childSelected' value='0'}
{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $smarty.get.id_category}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}{/if}{/foreach}
{if $page_name != 'category' OR $depth != 1 OR $node.id == $smarty.get.id_category OR $childSelected}

{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}
   {if $node.children|@count > 0}
</pre>
<ul>
       {foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
           {if $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
                       {include file=$tpl_dir./category-tree-branch.tpl node=$child depth=$depth+1 last='true'}
           {else}
                       {include file=$tpl_dir./category-tree-branch.tpl node=$child depth=$depth+1 last='false'}
           {/if}
       {/foreach}
</ul>
<br>   {/if}<br><br>{/if

This should do what you want as long as the category depth is no more than 2.

Thanks Rocky!!!

This is what I want!!!!! I have already tried and it works!!!!

Thank you so much Rocky!!!

BillyD · April 1, 2010

Thanks your subcategory fix is working well, however when I click on a product in a subcategory, the product.php page loads and I loose my "subcategory only" listing from the Category Block?

sandipk · July 4, 2010

Thanks your subcategory fix is working well, however when I click on a product in a subcategory, the product.php page loads and I loose my “subcategory only” listing from the Category Block?

nilady · July 15, 2010

how about if when clicks one of the category : example accessoris-earing and the view is all the product in list without see the categories again, how to do it?

imsocial · July 21, 2010

Im sorry to bring up an old thread. But like the previous 2 comments have said. This only works in the category page. How would I get it to keep the same format in the product page and others?

Thanks

mel- · September 9, 2010

I couldn't get this to work at all. the theme I have is using a dhtml menu. is that why? I am using 1.3. thanks.

johny2k · September 30, 2010

Dear Rocky, sorry for head up this issue again. Because I have been try the solution as you provide, then I still found that it still have some problem.

1. When I click the main categories mobile phone (picture cate01.jpg), then left column categories place will show Mobile Phone > BlackBerry & HTC. (picture cate01.jpg)

2. When I click the sub categorie which Mobile Phone > BlackBerry (picture cate02.jpg), then left column categories will only show Categories Mobile Phone, no more show as Mobile Phone > BlackBerry & HTC (picture cate03.jpg).

Hope you can provide help again, thanks a lot Rocky.

Regards,
John

rocky · September 30, 2010

My AJAX Sliding Categories module has the option to display just the subcategories of the current category and has many more options. It is hard to justify sifting through my code and extracting just the part that does this.

pldtm · December 2, 2010

hi rocky,

your solution works fine for me, but i have just one question.

Is it possible to have the option to hide all categories when they are not selected (for example when you are on the homepage no categories are selected and so no categories have to be visible.

thanks a lot

pldtm

rocky · December 3, 2010

You could add code like the following to the top of modules/blockcategoriesnc/blockcategoriesnc.tpl:

{if $page_name != 'index'}

and the following at the bottom:

{/if}

This will hide the category block altogether on the homepage.

Don Camillo · February 16, 2011

Hi,
I asked my question in a different post, but I think you guys know what to do... PLEASE HELP!

When I take the steps as written on page 1, I have this, for example;

(Categoryblock1):boxershorts

boxershorts A
boxershorts B
boxershorts C
(+)t-shirts: t-shirt A, t-shirt B, t-shirt C (<-- subcategory with ID as used in step 4 of page1, permanently visable. And unfolding when clicking in Category2. I want this not showing up here, only in category2block).
boxershort D
boxershort E

(Categoryblock2):t-shirts

t-shirt A
t-shirt B
t-shirt C

As you can see my second categoriesblock appears also as a subcategory in between other products in category1.
I tried a lot of ways, but this is the only way I can get it done.
How can I just make 2 categories; cat.1 for only product A, and cat.2 for only product B. (not showing B at A)?

Can anyone help me please? I tried everything I know, maybe its in the php files?

Thanks in advance!
Grtz, Don C.

@rocky

thanks for help! Your post http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/48033-solved-categories/page__view__findpost__p__321549 is great and it helped me much. But there is one little issue related more to this forum than to your code. Code snippet in this forum is stripping your code from ul's and li's html tags so sometimes is hard to understand it for the first time.

One more thing: when I go to product page all categories are visible like in standard blockcategories. It is possible to get same effect in product page like in category and product-list pages?

edit:

I've figured it out myself.

I've changed:

{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $smarty.get.id_category}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}{/if}{/foreach}
{if $page_name != 'category' OR $depth != 1 OR $node.id == $smarty.get.id_category OR $childSelected}

to

{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $currentCategoryId}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}{/if}{/foreach}
{if $depth != 1 OR $node.id == $currentCategoryId OR $childSelected}

and now itis working both in categories and in product pages.

btw I'm using v 1.3.1

andresdez · September 18, 2011

Sorry, but I don't know how to proceed to change the category-tree-branc.tpl. Actually I am using the version 1.4 and the code inside is:

<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

{if $node.children|@count > 0}

<ul>

{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}

{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}

{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}

{else}

{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'}

{/if}

{/foreach}

</ul>

{/if}

</li>

I replace this code by the one you write, and it doesn't work...I am doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

I have a problem with a 3th level category: a > b > c > product list . When I click on "c" category, simply disappear all categories, nothing are loaded. Can someone help for that ? Otherwise great mod.

Thanks,

Robert

dawb · November 23, 2011

Hi,

I have managed to get this working in 1.5 by replacing file=$tpl_dir./category-tree-branch.tpl with file="$branche_tpl_path", but am having issues where if you are on the product page it displays all subcategories it belongs to eg:

cat 1

- sub cat 1

- sub cat 2

cat 2

-sub cat1

Does anyone know how to resolve this? Also having an issue where the menu is not showing at all if you are on one of the sub category pages. Thanks for your help

Hi, have you find a solution??

I have the same problem!

I try to set max depth, but it doesn't work!

Help!

luconelucone · April 20, 2012

The problem is here:

{assign var='childSelected' value='0'}

{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $currentCategoryId}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}{/if}{/foreach}

{if $depth != 1 OR $node.id == $currentCategoryId OR $childSelected}

It check only if in sucategories there is a category with the current category id, but if the current category is is the sub-subcategory it doesn't work!!

I try this

{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $currentCategoryId}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}

{else}{foreach from=$node.children item=child}{if $child.id == $currentCategoryId}{assign var='childSelected' value='1'}bb{/if}{/foreach}

{/if}{/foreach}

{if $depth != 1 OR $node.id == $currentCategoryId OR $childSelected==1}

but it doesn't work!

Have you idea??

Nozonda · April 20, 2012

Today I'm working on a shop that has a top menu (blocktopmenu) with the categories. The menu on the left (blockcategories) should show only the subcategories (or only the main categories on the homepage and information pages.)

Example, these are the categories:

-Shoes:
  Running
  Boots
  Heels

-T-shirt
  Blue
  Red
  Yellow

What I wanted for this shop:

On the home page it would show: Shoes, T-shirt

And when you go to Shoes it would show: Running, Boots, Heels

And when you go to Boots it would still show: Running, Boots, Heels

So I changed my category-tree-branch.tpl, here is my code:

/themes/theme-name/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl

{assign var="show_child" value="false"}

{if !isset($currentCategoryId)}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link}" title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
</li>
{/if}

{if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}
{assign var="show_child" value="true"}
{/if}

{if $node.children|@count > 0}
{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
	{if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($child.id == $currentCategoryId)}
		{assign var="show_child" value="true"}
	{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}

{if $show_child == 'true'}
{if $node.children|@count > 0}
	{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
		{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
			{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='true'}
		{else}
			{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='false'}
		{/if}
	{/foreach}
   {if $child.children|@count > 0}
           {foreach from=$child.children item=child2 name=categoryTreeBranch2}
               {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($child2.id == $currentCategoryId)}
                   {assign var="show_child" value="true"}
               {/if}
           {/foreach}
       {/if}
{/if}
{/if}


{if isset($show)}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
{if $node.children|@count > 0}
	<ul>
	{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
		{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
			{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='true'}
		{else}
			{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='false'}
		{/if}
	{/foreach}
	</ul>
{/if}
</li>
{/if}

Not sure if this example is what you guys want, but I though I will just share it. Also perhaps this code is not optiomal, but at least it works for me

That Worked BUT only with first level categories !!!

When i navigate at subcategory i would like to show ONLY the Sub-subcategories at the left and instead i get again the whole tree.

Can you help me on that ??

Thanks

Supermanzo · February 13, 2013

I tried following what is written in this post 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

Is there any way of getting the blockcategories to display when you are deeper than 3 categories?

I have added this slightly modded code from above;


   {assign var="show_child" value="false"}

   {if !isset($currentCategoryId)}
	    <li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
			    <a href="{$node.link}" title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
	    </li>
   {/if}

   {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}
	    {assign var="show_child" value="true"}
   {/if}

   {if $node.children|@count > 0}

But when I am navigating to a 3rd level category, the block is empty.

I need it to return the sub categories from where ever the user is.

I have set the configuration to a maximum depth of 0 (infinate), 3,4,5,6 etc. but nothing was displaying.

on level 1 and 2, this works fine.

Any pointers to what might be missing?

does it work on 1.5.4 ?

Today I'm working on a shop that has a top menu (blocktopmenu) with the categories. The menu on the left (blockcategories) should show only the subcategories (or only the main categories on the homepage and information pages.)

Example, these are the categories:

-Shoes:
   Running
   Boots
   Heels

-T-shirt
   Blue
   Red
   Yellow

What I wanted for this shop:

On the home page it would show: Shoes, T-shirt

And when you go to Shoes it would show: Running, Boots, Heels

And when you go to Boots it would still show: Running, Boots, Heels

So I changed my category-tree-branch.tpl, here is my code:

/themes/theme-name/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl

{assign var="show_child" value="false"}

{if !isset($currentCategoryId)}
	<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
		<a href="{$node.link}" title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
	</li>
{/if}

{if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}
	{assign var="show_child" value="true"}
{/if}

{if $node.children|@count > 0}
	{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
		{if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($child.id == $currentCategoryId)}
			{assign var="show_child" value="true"}
		{/if}
	{/foreach}
{/if}

{if $show_child == 'true'}
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
	   {if $child.children|@count > 0}
            {foreach from=$child.children item=child2 name=categoryTreeBranch2}
                {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($child2.id == $currentCategoryId)}
                    {assign var="show_child" value="true"}
                {/if}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
	{/if}
{/if}


{if isset($show)}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		<ul>
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child show='true' last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>
{/if}

Not sure if this example is what you guys want, but I though I will just share it. Also perhaps this code is not optiomal, but at least it works for me

Thank you, your code works correctly, a greeting!

Tested on prestashop 1.6.0.5!
