Here in the forum, it is already described, I think! You have to be in the web directory each tpl-file. You can find them under opencart-> catalog-> view-> template

EH.. no .. that is for the old version of OpenCart. No longer relevant here.

What do you mean? Do you want them all to display 'open' - if so, you will need to open the categories module file - ie. catalog\controller\module\category.php & loop through the top level category and then loop through all sub categories as well.
2. How can i remove BRANDS BOX from front end ?
Go to the admin->extensions->modules and uninstall the 'Manufacturers' module.

open catalog\controller\module\category.php
and replace
Code: Select all
if ($category_id == $result['category_id']) {
$children = $this->getCategories($result['category_id'], $new_path);
}
with
Code: Select all
//if ($category_id == $result['category_id']) { //hack to display all subcategories
$children = $this->getCategories($result['category_id'], $new_path);
//}

Hi, Is it possible to only display the first two levels of the category?
eg:
Beauty > For Her > Accessories>
Beauty > For Her > Bags>
Beauty > For Him > Bags>
Beauty > For Baby > Bags>
I only want to display:
Beauty
- For Her
- For Him
- For Baby

It already only displays like that on the category sidebox. It just shows the full path in the admin area

Thanks for your reply, Qphoria ,
As I do the following amendment, the 3rd level category will be displayed. Ids there any way to only show the 1st two levels?
//if ($category_id == $result['category_id']) { //hack to display all subcategories
$children = $this->getCategories($result['category_id'], $new_path);
//}

Try this:
Change:
Code: Select all
$children = $this->getCategories($result['category_id'], $new_path);
To:
Code: Select all
if (substr_count($new_path, '_') < 1) {
$children = $this->getCategories($result['category_id'], $new_path);
}

This would be one of those things that would be fantastic as a user configurable setting within OpenCart.

May I know how to change the controller to display the category and sub category in this format?
<ul>
<li>Main-Category1</li>
<li>SubCategory1a</li>
<li>SubCategory1b
<ul>
<li>SubCategory2a</li>
<li>SubCategory2b</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Main-Category2</li>
</ul>
The default formatting is like this (if i not mistaken...) :
<ul>
<li>Main-Category1
<ul><li>SubCategory1a</li>
<li>SubCategory1b
<ul>
<li>SubCategory2a</li>
<li>SubCategory2b</li>
</ul>
</li></ul></li>
<li>Main-Category2</li>
</ul>
