[SOLVED][1.5] one more level of sub category!

[dunks]

can anyone build Vqmod version,, i think will be usefull

[FlySpartan]

In case anyone is trying to make this work for 1.5.2, this doesn't exactly work, but I made one minor modification after sifting through all the code, and it's merely another change in the stylesheet.css file.

Look for

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li ul {
   display: none;
}

Simply change to

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li ul {
   display: block;
}

Any update for OC 1.5.3.1?

For 1.5.1.3 use the following:

STEP 1 Use this for catalog/controller/module/category.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
class ControllerModuleCategory extends Controller {
   protected function index() {
      $this->language->load('module/category');
     
       $this->data['heading_title'] = $this->language->get('heading_title');
     
      if (isset($this->request->get['path'])) {
         $parts = explode('_', (string)$this->request->get['path']);
      } else {
         $parts = array();
      }
     
      if (isset($parts[0])) {
         $this->data['category_id'] = $parts[0];
      } else {
         $this->data['category_id'] = 0;
      }
     
      if (isset($parts[1])) {
         $this->data['child_id'] = $parts[1];
      } else {
         $this->data['child_id'] = 0;
      }
            if (isset($parts[2])) {
         $this->data['sisters_id'] = $parts[2];
      } else {
         $this->data['sisters_id'] = 0;
      }         
      $this->load->model('catalog/category');
      $this->load->model('catalog/product');
     
      $this->data['categories'] = array();
               
      $categories = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories(0);
     
          foreach ($categories as $category) {
         
             $children_data = array();
          $sister_data = array();
             
             $children = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($category['category_id']);
             
             foreach ($children as $child) {           
                $sister_data = array();
                $sisters = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($child['category_id']);
                if($sisters) {
                   foreach ($sisters as $sisterMember) {
                      $sister_data[] = array(
                         'category_id' =>$sisterMember['category_id'],
                         'name'        => $sisterMember['name'],
                         'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id']. '_' . $sisterMember['category_id'])   
                      );                     
                                 
                   }
                   $children_data[] = array(
                         'category_id' => $child['category_id'],
                         'sister_id'   => $sister_data,
                         'name'        => $child['name'],
                         'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])   
                      );   
                }else{                     
                   $children_data[] = array(
                      'category_id' => $child['category_id'],
                      'sister_id'    =>'',
                      'name'        => $child['name'],
                      'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])   
                   );   
                }
             }         
             $data = array(
                'filter_category_id'  => $category['category_id'],
                'filter_sub_category' => true   
             );     
               
             $product_total = $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($data);
                     
             $this->data['categories'][] = array(
                'category_id' => $category['category_id'],
                'name'        => $category['name'],
                'children'    => $children_data,
                'sister'    => $sister_data,
                'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'])
             );
          }
     
      if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/category.tpl')) {
         $this->template = $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/category.tpl';
      } else {
         $this->template = 'default/template/module/category.tpl';
      }
     
      $this->render();
     }
}
?>

STEP 2: Use this for catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/category.tpl:

Code: Select all

<div class="box">
  <div class="box-heading"><?php echo $heading_title; ?></div>
  <div class="box-content">
    <div class="box-category">
      <ul>
        <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
        <li>
          <?php if ($category['category_id'] == $category_id) { ?>
          <a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>" class="active"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
          <?php } else { ?>
          <a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
          <?php } ?>
          <?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
          <ul>
            <?php foreach ($category['children'] as $child) { ?>
            <li>
              <?php if ($child['category_id'] == $child_id) { ?>
              <a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="active"> - <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
              <?php } else { ?>
              <a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>"> - <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
              <?php } ?>
                  <?php if($child['sister_id']){ ?>
    <ul>
    <?php foreach($child['sister_id'] as $sisters) { ?>

    <li>
    <?php if ($sisters['category_id'] == $sisters_id) { ?>
    <a href="<?php echo $sisters['href']; ?>" class="active"> - <?php echo $sisters['name']; ?></a>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <a href="<?php echo $sisters['href']; ?>"> - <?php echo $sisters['name']; ?></a>
    <?php } ?>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>
    </ul>
    <?php } ?>
           </li>
            <?php } ?>
          </ul>
          <?php } ?>
        </li>
        <?php } ?>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

STEP 3:
FIND in catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li ul > li > a.active + ul {
display: block;
}

and UNDER THAT, ADD:

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li ul > li ul > li a.active {
font-weight: bold;
color: #06bcc3;
}
.box-category > ul > li ul > li ul > li a.active + ul {
display: block;
}

That worked for me using the default Opencart template.

perfect work with oc 1.5.3.1, except in show the sub sub sub.
eg:

Code: Select all

Components
  - Monitors
    - test 1
      -Sub 3 //This not show

Please please help.
I couldn't seem to find an answer to my specific error...

RE: SUBCATEGORY TITLES AND PRODUCTS NOT LISTING CORRECTLY/MISSING

Top category menu title is "Shop", under it I have subcategories "Vitamin-Rich Facial Serums", then "Fizzing Bath Bombs", then "Air Fresheners".
Now if you click on "Vitamin-Rich Facial Serums" it shows "Vitamin-Rich Facial Serums" title at the top and then shows all the products in that category, this is what is supposed to happen. BUT then other categories are NOT WORKING. If you click on "Fizzing Bath Bombs" the title on that page says "Shop" when it should say "Fizzing Bath Bombs" AND the products showing are from 2 different categories!!

Currently in the admin panel I have checked the box "shop" and "shop>fizzing bath bombs". Now if I uncheck "shop" no products show up in the "shop>fizzing bath bombs" checked box.

So to recap, it looks like there is something wrong in the categories admin panel. A problem with the title of the category missing from the page (not menu bar) and something wrong with the products combining together.
