It's me again

!!!! Anywho, I wish to either remove entirely the refine search on the resulting category page or change it from being a text based result into an icon based one.

My layout ATM is on the left side I have the categories module with obviously it's list and amount of items, but when ever I press the category it goes to it's page displaying the txt and a "refine search" list below it....

I don't mind getting my hands dirty changing some code around, it's just that I don't know which one

thanks for any pointers!!!!

find and delete

Code: Select all

  <?php if ($categories) { ?>
  <h2><?php echo $text_refine; ?></h2>
  <div class="category-list">
    <?php if (count($categories) <= 5) { ?>
    <ul>
      <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"><?php echo $category['name']; ?></a></li>
      <?php } ?>
    </ul>
    <?php } else { ?>
    <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($categories);) { ?>
    <ul>
      <?php $j = $i + ceil(count($categories) / 4); ?>
      <?php for (; $i < $j; $i++) { ?>
      <?php if (isset($categories[$i])) { ?>
      <li><a href="<?php echo $categories[$i]['href']; ?>"><?php echo $categories[$i]['name']; ?></a></li>

Need this also. Thank you!

and if you rather show the category icons you can use this also:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($categories) { ?>

  <h2><?php echo $text_refine; ?></h2>

  <div class="category-list">

	 <?php if (count($categories) <= 10) { ?>

    <ul>

      <?php foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>

      <li><a href="<?php echo $category['href']; ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $category['thumb']; ?>" />

      <br />

     <?php echo $category['name']; ?></a></li>

      <?php } ?>

    </ul>

    <?php } else { ?>

     <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($categories);) { ?>

    <ul>

      <?php $j = $i + ceil(count($categories) / 4); ?>

      <?php for (; $i < $j; $i++) { ?>

      <?php if (isset($categories[$i])) { ?>

      <li><a href="<?php echo $categories[$i]['href']; ?>">

       <img src="<?php echo $categories[$i]['thumb']; ?>" />

      <br />

      <?php echo $categories[$i]['name']; ?></a></li>

      <?php } ?>

      <?php } ?>

    </ul>

    <?php } ?>

    <?php } ?>

  </div>

  <?php } ?>

      <?php } ?>

you need to also define 'thumb' in the controller file

In catalog/controller/product/category.php
FIND

Code: Select all

$results = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategories($category_id);

foreach ($results as $result) {

below it ADD

Code: Select all

//
				if ($result['image']) {
					$thumb = $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_category_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_category_height'));
				} else {
					$thumb = '';
				}
				//

then a little further below, FIND

Code: Select all

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
					'name'  => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',

ADD into that array

Code: Select all

'thumb' => $thumb,

Also, the css needs to be fixed. I'm getting the thumbs listed vertically. And I haven't catered for when a category doesn't have an image

What should I also remove from the source if I use other language? Thanks in advance!

i cant doi this on OC 1.5.2.1

Posted: **Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:58 pm**

Worked perfect for 1.5.3.1, thank you

Posted: **Mon Oct 15, 2012 12:56 am**

Tried this on 1.5.4.1 and whilst it happily removed the refine search, it also made every sub-category page layout exactly the same, so no matter what sub i was selecting, i still got the full range of products.

Did i delete too much?

The refine search list is really ugly, and unnecassary if you have a category module on the same page - here's hoping it becomes an easily diabled module in the next update.

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:00 am**

works fine on 1.5.4

Posted: **Sat Dec 01, 2012 3:13 pm**

Hi All! does anyone knows how to convert refine search into a dropdown <select></select> box... Many thanks in advance.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2013 5:21 pm**

Hi all!

I'm running Opencart 1.5.1.3 - I've followed the instructions above in order to remove the refine search however all I found was that it removed all the text within the refine search (i.e. I was left with the title etc.).

I created a separate post with a screenshot (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=94004) and have also attached it here.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to completely remove this?

P.S. Re the drop down menu question - I think I've seen an extension for this - take a look in the extensions directory.

Hi
I use OC Version 1.5.5.1 and get error message below;

Notice: Undefined variable: result in /homepages/24/d439278145/htdocs/catalog/controller/product/category.php on line 177Notice: Undefined variable: results in /homepages/24/d439278145/htdocs/catalog/controller/product/category.php on line 184Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/24/d439278145/htdocs/catalog/controller/product/category.php on line 184

When I add 'thumb' => $thumb, into array.
I need help where to add this 'thumb' => $thumb, in

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
'name' => $result['name'] . ($this->config->get('config_product_count') ? ' (' . $product_total . ')' : ''),
'href' => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)
);

Thanks

aansari - I don't have a direct answer but I do believe there is a VQMod that will do this for you now.
