Here is my latest project :) (+ 2 general questions about prestashop)

[Snade]

Hello everyone,
here is my latest project for a company producing eco paper cups and packs.

http://greenpackshop.com/

I want to hear your opinion, what you dont like, what you may change

Also I got 2 general questions about the catalog part of the prestashop.

1. In the backoffice I've created Category "Products" (which is the main) under this category there are subcategories Paper Cups, Paper bags and etc.
When you enter in the Products directory in the front office, you dont see anything because there are no products, only sub-categories(who don't show up). How can I show the subcategories? If there is no easy way, is it possible to manually add links ?



2.In the categories dropdown list on the header and on the right sidebar the subcategories appear in alphabetic order. How can I arrange them manually ? They are arranged in the backoffice but in the front they are alphabetically.

Thanks in advance

sry for the bad english, if you dont understand something, I'll try to clear it out.

answer 1: when you add the new category

if sub cetagory; Parent category: choose category

if it is not Parent category: Home

answer 2: when you adding category you have to put numbers like this

01.Sub CatA
02.Sub CatB
03.Sab CatC

Also you can use this for main categories..

1.I think you didn't understand me. "Products" category is already parent of "paper cups" "Paper bags" and etc.

But when you click directly on "Products"(whitout choosing sub-category from the drop-down menu) you don't see anything.(because there are no products in there, only sub-categories who doesn't show)

I want when you click on "products" to open a page where there are links to the subcategories "paper cups" paper bags and etc.

This is something really fundamental, there must be a way to do it. It's like browsing folders in your computer. If you have "Products" folder, with "paper cups" sub-folder, you have access to "paper cups" when you open "Products". Thats how users are used to work, and how it should be.


2. Yeah That worked great Thanks

Topic moved since you are using a third-party theme

It appears you are using the Rumar Batik theme. The default PrestaShop theme adds subcategories to the category pages. I guess the author of your theme decided to remove that feature. Try adding it back in to category.tpl:

{if isset($subcategories)}
<!-- Subcategories -->

{l s='Subcategories'}

   {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}

getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
               {if $subcategory.id_image}
getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" />
               {else}

               {/if}



getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

   {/foreach}




{/if}

and add this code to your global.css:

body#category #subcategories li { margin-right: 10px }
body#category div#subcategories ul.inline_list li a img { display: inline }
