PS_1.7.2 ps_categorytree - expand current category only

[Duboe]

The goal is quite simple: Only expand the current category.
 
Problem: I overwrite the module-file ps_categorytree.tpl in the theme.

{if $node.id==$category.id_parent || $node.id==$category.id} 

That works as is, but I ran into a problem. I have another module that adds an extra node at the end of the categories. 

 

Shop

• Cat 1 + (signals that there are sub categories)
• Cat 2 +
• Cat 3
• Cat from Module

 

When I click on the "Cat from Module" smarty breaks on the first +

 

Shop

• Cat 1 (it breaks here because it has no an issue with $category.id_parent)

When I use an extra isset($category) in the if above it makes no difference and an isset($category.id_parent) throws an internal error...

 

Any suggestions?

{if !$category->id && ($node.id==$category.id_parent || $node.id==$category.id)}

If anyone needs this - not the most elegant solution but it works. At least with one sub category.

 

A little more context: (If you don't know where to add this line)

 

If not already there create a folder named 'ps_categorytree' in your_theme -> modules folder. Now create the folders as follows 

views -> templates -> hook

 

Go to your root modules folder -> modules -> ps_categorytree follow the path above and copy the ps_categorytree.tpl into your created hook folder.

 

Now add / replace after {if $node.children} till {categories nodes=$node.children depth=$depth+1} (not included in the replace)

{if !$category->id && ($node.id==$category.id_parent || $node.id==$category.id)}
    <div class="navbar-toggler collapse-icons" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}" aria-expanded="true">
      <i class="material-icons add"></i>
      <i class="material-icons remove"></i>
    </div>

    <div class="collapse in" id="exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}">

  {else}

    <div class="navbar-toggler collapse-icons" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}" aria-expanded="false">
      <i class="material-icons add"></i>
      <i class="material-icons remove"></i>
    </div>
    <div class="collapse" id="exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}">
{/if}

and you are done. Parent categories should now expand if you are in a sub category.

We've got it but the names of the subcategory doesn't show up! 

You can see it here: http://dev.allinpreventie.nl/index.php?id_category=21&controller=category

 

We need help! PLEASE!

Hi,

 

It seems it is not able to fetch the subcategory. 

 

Can you please let me know the changes which you have done.

 

Thanks,

I have copied this code:

 

{if !$category->id && ($node.id==$category.id_parent || $node.id==$category.id)}

<div class="navbar-toggler collapse-icons" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}" aria-expanded="true">
<i class="material-icons add">xE145;</i>
<i class="material-icons remove">xE15B;</i>
</div>

<div class="collapse in" id="exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}">

{else}

<div class="navbar-toggler collapse-icons" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}" aria-expanded="false">
<i class="material-icons add">xE145;</i>
<i class="material-icons remove">xE15B;</i>
</div>
<div class="collapse" id="exCollapsingNavbar{$node.id}">
{/if} 

 

 

And paste it as they said. That is the only change I've made. 

 

What can I do about this? 

 

Thank you!

Hi there, 

 

Maybe I forgot something. It is working but I still don't see the names of the subcategories.

Can you please help me? 

 

Thank you very much!

Hi there,

Sorry for waking up this thread from the grave, but prestashop files changed quite a lot with the newest versions.
Does someone know how to do it on the new versions ?

Thanks heaps.
