I'm sure its possible but can't seem to figure it out. I noticed that the top categories display on the menu, then the sub categories appear as a drop down list of each parent category.

What I want to achieve is the sub-category of a sub-category shown in the drop down list as well.

food>burger>cheese burger
top category: food
sub category: burger
sub>sub category: cheese burger ( this is what i want to display )

Code: Select all

<div id="menu">
  <ul>
    <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><span><?php echo $category['name']; ?></span></a>
      <?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
      <div>
        <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($category['children']);) { ?>
        <ul>
          <?php $j = $i + ceil(count($category['children']) / $category['column']); ?>
          <?php for (; $i < $j; $i++) { ?>
          <?php if (isset($category['children'][$i])) { ?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $category['children'][$i]['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['children'][$i]['name']; ?></a></li>
          <?php } ?>
          <?php } ?>
        </ul>
        <?php } ?>
      </div>
      <?php } ?>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>
  </ul>
</div>
<?php } ?></div>

I could actually call the database and retrieve it, but that would severly slow down the site as it would need to do it ever time the page loads.

Code: Select all

<?php echo $category['children'][$i]['name']; ?>
if someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Never mind, I had to rewrite the entire category section controller/common/header.php,
because the header did not allow 3rd tier categories.
But I found the code in controller/information/sitemap.php to be quite helpful.

I'll post a link once I'm finished.

Ok, take a look and tell me what you think about the menu!

Looks great and just what we have been looking to do as well.
Your sub category links do not appear to be working correctly though.
If you select sub category 1 (under stereos), it goes to CD Players and not sub category 1.

Thanks, also sorry about that, I have seo urls enabled and had not set the keyword (because I planned to change it anyways) for any of the sub-sub categories.

I added a few keywords, so now the sub-sub categories will work under "stereos" and "amplifiers-amps".

That works well now.
The sub sub category text is extending out of the drop down box to the right in ie8 though.

Any chance of you sharing your code for this when you get a chance?

That's odd, I have ie8.0.6 and it looks fine. Could you get a screen shot?

Sure thing, remember to back up your files.
Also note that it will not look correctly without some styling.

locate: catalog/controller/common/header.php

find:

Code: Select all

		$categories = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories(0);
		
		foreach ($categories as $category) {
			if ($category['top']) {
				$children_data = array();
				
				$children = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($category['category_id']);
				
				foreach ($children as $child) {
					$data = array(
						'filter_category_id'  => $child['category_id'],
						'filter_sub_category' => true	
					);		
						
					$product_total = $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProducts($data);
									
					$children_data[] = array(
						'name'  => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
						'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])	
					);					
				}
				
				// Level 1
				$this->data['categories'][] = array(
					'name'     => $category['name'],
					'children' => $children_data,
					'column'   => $category['column'] ? $category['column'] : 1,
					'href'     => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'])
				);
			}
		}
replace it with this code ( I removed the product total ):

Code: Select all

//below is written to enable 3rd level sub-categories

		$categories_1 = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories(0);
		
		foreach ($categories_1 as $category_1) {
			$level_2_data = array();
			
			$categories_2 = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($category_1['category_id']);
			
			foreach ($categories_2 as $category_2) {
				$level_3_data = array();
				
				$categories_3 = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($category_2['category_id']);
				
				foreach ($categories_3 as $category_3) {
					$level_3_data[] = array(
						'name' => $category_3['name'],
                              			'column'   => $category_3['column'] ? $category_3['column'] : 1,
						'href' => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category_1['category_id'] . '_' . $category_2['category_id'] . '_' . $category_3['category_id'])
					);
				}
				
				$level_2_data[] = array(
					'name'     => $category_2['name'],
					'children' => $level_3_data,
					'href'     => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category_1['category_id'] . '_' . $category_2['category_id'])	
				);					
			}
			
			$this->data['categories'][] = array(
				'name'     => $category_1['name'],
				'children' => $level_2_data,
				'column'   => $category_1['column'] ? $category_1['column'] : 1,
				'href'     => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category_1['category_id'])
			);
		}

// End of the written addition
locate: your themes header.tpl

find:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($categories) { ?>
<div id="menu">
  <ul>
    <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
      <?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
      <div>
        <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($category['children']);) { ?>
        <ul>
          <?php $j = $i + ceil(count($category['children']) / $category['column']); ?>
          <?php for (; $i < $j; $i++) { ?>
          <?php if (isset($category['children'][$i])) { ?>
          <li><a href="<?php echo $category['children'][$i]['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['children'][$i]['name']; ?></a></li>
          <?php } ?>
          <?php } ?>
        </ul>
        <?php } ?>
      </div>
      <?php } ?>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>
  </ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>
replace it with:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($categories) { ?>
<div id="menu">
  <ul>
    <?php foreach ($categories as $category_1) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo $category_1['href']; ?>" class="<?php if (!$category_1['children']) { ?>oc-single<?php } ?>"><span><?php echo $category_1['name']; ?></span></a>
      <?php if ($category_1['children']) { ?>
      <div>
       <?php $w = count($category_1['children']) * 180; // this value depends on the width of each div ?>
        <div class="oc-outer" style="width:<?php echo $w; ?>px;">
       <?php foreach($category_1['children'] as $category_2) { ?>
        <div class="oc-left">
         <h1 style="min-width:165px">
          <a href="<?php echo $category_2['href']; ?>"><span><?php echo $category_2['name']; ?></span></a>
         </h1>
          <?php if ($category_2['children']) { ?>
           <ul>
            <?php foreach($category_2['children'] as $category_3) { ?>
               <li><a href="<?php echo $category_3['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category_3['name']; ?></a></li>
            <?php } ?>
           </ul>
          <?php } ?>
        </div>
       <?php } ?>
       </div>
      </div>
      <?php } ?>
    </li>
    <?php } ?>
  </ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>
now for the styling:

Code: Select all

#menu > ul > li:hover > a.oc-single {
    background: url("../image/oc-menu-item-h3.png") no-repeat scroll left top transparent;
    color: #444;
}
#menu > ul > li:hover > a.oc-single > span {
    background: url("../image/oc-menu-item-h3.png") no-repeat scroll right top transparent;
    color: #444;
}
.oc-left {
        float:left;
        padding-left:10px
}
.oc-left > h1 {
        font-size:14px;
        margin-bottom:5px;
}
.oc-left > h1 > a {
        text-decoration:none;
        font-size:14px;
        font-weight:bold;
        font-family: arial,helvetica,sanserif;
        text-transform: uppercase;
}
That just about rounds it up.

I worked with wordpress for some time and I kinda would like to see child themes concept brought to opencart, so I don't have to modify core files just to update the version and lose all modifications.

Thank you very much for the code, it works great so far.
Had a few problems with the styling but getting there.

I have attached a screen shot of the problem on your site, but wouldn't worry too much about it.
The browser is IE8.0.6, but I have found that it seems to display quite a few things weird compared to other versions including IE8 on other machines, so could be a local problem.

Your welcome, and thanks for the screenshot.
IE8 has a "compatibility view" feature next to the address bar, beside the refresh button.
The icon looks like a torn page.
Un-click that and this problem ceases to exist.
( you may have clicked it while viewing an older webpage/site, which fixes old sites but, it breaks newer webpages )

Hi,

After implementing this, you cannot hide specific categories in the top bar.
Even without clicking "add to topbar", all categories are shown.
Is there anyone that can help?

Have a look at Deeper and Better Category Module ;)

It is configurable to show or not the top level categories and has one more level of subcategories.

I can't thank you enough for providing this mod. The styling took a bit of time and I also tweaked with some of the logic, but this is exactly what I need. And trust me, I have looked and looked to resolve sub sub categories in the menu for days now.

Thank you again!!

Same request as Sampras.
How can I add sub sub categories in the menu navbar, just like purplewac has?
I tried with the code provided from TimJr2.0 but it doesn't work for me.

Thanks

hello, I hope this helps..

Please make sure you backup you're files before editing them!!!!!!

in /upload/catalog/controller/module change the whole category.php file to the following..

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'],

                      );

      }
      
      $this->render();
     }

?>
in /upload/admin/view/template/module change the file category.tpl to the following

Code: Select all

           </li>
            <?php } ?>
          </ul>
          <?php } ?>
        </li>
        <?php } ?>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
in upload/admin/view/stylesheet under...

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li ul {
	display: none;
}
.box-category > ul > li a.active {
	font-weight: bold;
Add the following..

Code: Select all

.box-category > ul > li a.active + ul {
	display: block;
}
.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;
}
Now that should solve your side sub categories.. Check this now..

Then follow the next post..

Now the follow on from my previous post.. This should change the top menu to display sub categories..

You may need to post these into a notepad then save them as either header.php or header.tpl MAKE SURE YOU ADD THE .PHP OR .TPL AS THIS WILL CHANGE THE FILE. Then download vqmod and install that to your website, But for now try the following..

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP FILES BEFORE CHANGING THEM!!

in \catalog\controller\common change header.php file to..

Code: Select all

<?php   
class ControllerCommonHeader extends Controller {
	protected function index() {
		$this->data['title'] = $this->document->getTitle();

 <!-- END Part 2 of the extension Header menu add level 3 sub categories extension -->
Then add the file attached (Arrow) to the following address..

\catalog\view\theme\default\image

That should solve the problem..

I have only tried this on opencart v1.5.4.1

The file name you need to change is called category.tpl

Sorry I forgot to add that in the second file change.

in /upload/admin/view/template/module change the file category.tpl to the following
