UPDATED FOR CLARITY BY QPHORIA
1. EDIT: catalog/controller/module/category.php
2. FIND:
Code: Select all
if ($this->category_id == $result['category_id']) {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $new_path)) . '"><b>' . $result['name'] . '</b></a>';
} else {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $new_path)) . '">' . $result['name'] . '</a>';
}
3. REPLACE WITH:
Code: Select all
$this->load->model('catalog/product');
$getTotal = '('. $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProductsByCategoryId($result['category_id']) .')';
if ($this->category_id == $result['category_id']) {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $new_path)) . '"><b>' . $result['name'] . '</b></a>'. $getTotal;
} else {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/category&path=' . $new_path)) . '">' . $result['name'] . '</a>' . $getTotal;
}

I've cleaned up this thread to remove all the confusing posts and questions/spam. I've updated readyman's thread to be a bit clearer and to add the model load step as that is needed.
The code above is still credited to readyman but it should work for all versions of OpenCart the same way. I've tested it out and it works fine in 1.3.2 and 1.3.4

That's right. The "Components" category doesn't have any products, so it doesn't count any.

Mmhh, but only silly users click on categories without entry.
I think that's not really good.

You missed the point. Only categories that have PRODUCTS will display a PRODUCT count. Categories that have sub-categories but no products will display a zero value because the products are in the sub-categories.
You will note that, in the default set up (as per your attached image), there are 15 products in the "Desktops" category. There are also 2 sub-categories (PC and MAC) that are not counted!
Sounds like what you want is something that counts sub-categories as well as products.

Hi,
this is the code modified for v1.4.4. Tested and work.
Code: Select all
$this->load->model('catalog/product');
$getTotal = '('. $this->model_catalog_product->getTotalProductsByCategoryId($result['category_id']) .')';
if ($this->category_id == $result['category_id']) {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite(HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=product/category&path=' . $new_path) . '"><b>' . $result['name'] . '</b></a>'. $getTotal;
} else {
$output .= '<a href="' . $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite(HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=product/category&path=' . $new_path) . '">' . $result['name'] . '</a>' . $getTotal;
}
But still the main category show (0) although in the subcategory are eg 14 products.
Like this:
Category_A (0)
Subcategory_A (3)
Subcategory_B (5)
Subcategory_C (6)
I want shows something like that:
Category_A (14)
Subcategory_A (3)
Subcategory_B (5)
Subcategory_C (6)
How I do this? Help!

I have added a message at the top of the category list to let customers know there may be items in sub-categories of empty top level categories.
Edit the file: catalog/view/theme/XXXXX/template/module/category.tpl
Code: Select all
<div id="category" class="middle"><?php echo 'Empty categories may have items in subcategories';?></br></br><?php echo $category; ?></div>
The category count idea seemed such a good idea that I thought the message would overcome the empty category drawback.
You can see the benefit better in the demo store in my signature.

I just added the later of the two codes to version 1.4.8b and it appears to be working fine.

I agree with Maansy.
If it worked on earlier versions, how come it wont on the latest?

Yeah it's possible, only slow down opencart 1 or 2 sec (depend on how many sub folder) since the code should traverse its sub folder to count how many product in it
