[HOW TO] show subcategories always opened?

Hi,

I'd like to show subcategories ALWAYS in categories module like when you click on main category. But i would like the complete "tree" in side module. How can i do it?

Thanks for answers,
Kotysoft

open /catalog/controller/module/category.php

find: change to this:

Any examples on what this looks like? Im not sure if this is what I am looking for myself

thank you so much! it works perfectly.

The above method expands my ALL subcategories 4 levels deep. Please anybody can tell me how to expand ONLY 1 level deep (to look like this: main category->sub category)?

I also need that subcategories of 3 and 4 levels disappear from category block but still be visible in home page?

Really appreciate your advices!

Hi!
Thes lines of code don`t exist with the same structure on v1.5.6.
Any suggestions how to achieve the same results using opencart 1.5.6.?
Thanks.

Hi

In 1.5.6 open catalog/controller/module/category.php

Goto Line 32 -
Change the 0 at the end which is the parent id to which ever sub-categories you wish to display.

Any problems, reply back.

Thanks

Hi again!
I wish to show all the subcategories of the selected (sub)category.
For example:
CATEGORY1
_____SUBCATEGORY OF CATEGORY1
__________ALL THE SUBACTEGORIES OF SUBCATEGORY.

Many thanks

While template/module/category.tpl looks like this:

<div class="list-group">
<?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
<?php if ($category['category_id'] == $category_id) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item active"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
<?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
<?php foreach ($category['children'] as $child) { ?>
<?php if ($child['category_id'] == $child_id) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item active">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>

Change it to:

<div class="list-group">
<?php $zara=true; foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
<?php if ($category['category_id'] == $category_id) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item active"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
<?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
<?php foreach ($category['children'] as $child) { ?>
<?php if ($child['category_id'] == $child_id) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item active">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } else if ($category_id==NULL) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a>
<?php if ($category['children']) { ?>
<?php foreach ($category['children'] as $child) { ?>
<?php if ($child['category_id'] == $child_id) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item active">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $child['href']; ?>" class="list-group-item">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- <?php echo $child['name']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>

and it will give you the first level subcategories under the parents on the homepage. This works with the last version of OpenCart. You may tweak this a little to get deeper subcategories displayed as well.

Hi, is it possible to do the same thing in OC 2.0.0?
Because I get this:
Notice: Undefined index: children in catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\category.tpl on line 65"

Thanks
