Hi all. So in an older version of Opencart I was able to customize my top navigation to display the sub-category thumbnails and the description. I've upgraded to the latest version and it's no longer working.
It's only returning:
[name] and [href]
How will I go about getting the thumbnail [image] link and [description] data?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Nevermind. I found the solution.
For anyone wanting to put subcategory thumbnails in their top dropdown menu:
Modify:
catalog/controller/common/header.php
Change:
To:
Save, then modify:
catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl
and under the if(isset($category['children'][$i])), (under <div id="menu">) you can call the image as such:

$children_data[] = array(
'name' => $child['name'] . ($this->config->get('config_product_count') ? ' (' . $product_total . ')' : ''),

); Code: Select all

'image' => $child['image'],
'description' => $child['description']
); catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl
and under the if(isset($category['children'][$i])), (under <div id="menu">) you can call the image as such:

<img src="image/<?php echo $category['children'][$i]['image']; ?>" width="" />
Good Idea!
For my OC V.1.5.6.5_rc, I had to use one of the existing default Lines in order to have Product Counting working.

PS. Only works NICE with rather FEW Subcategories!
