Hide top category - Skip to subcategories

hello gjh42,

I have the same problem in my category box. I want to hide/show also my categories in the sidebox. I opened the PHP file /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php to edit and place the "substr_count($box_categories_array[$i]['path'],'_') = 0" but I didn't find the place to be paste the code.

This is my tpl_categories.php code:

Code:

<?php //print_r($box_categories_array); //exit(); ?> <?php //print_r($box_categories_array); $content = ""; //$_test = ''; $content .= '<table width="210" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding-left:2px; padding-right:2px ;" id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n"; $tabledeep = 0; for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) { $sub_count = ''; $icon = ''; if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') { if ((CATEGORIES_COUNT_ZERO == '1' and $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] == 0) or $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] >= 1) { $sub_count = CATEGORIES_COUNT_PREFIX . $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] . CATEGORIES_COUNT_SUFFIX; } } $firstitem = false; $lastitem = false; $doubleclose = false; //if($i==39){ // echo '<br>$box_categories_array[$i]["top"] = '.$box_categories_array[$i]['top']; // echo '<br>$box_categories_array[$i]["has_sub_cat"] = '.$box_categories_array[$i]['has_sub_cat']; // echo '<br>$box_categories_array[$i]["type"] = '.$box_categories_array[$i]['type']; // } //echo 'type='.$box_categories_array[$i]['type'].'<br>'; switch(true) { case ($box_categories_array[$i]['type'] == 'r' && $box_categories_array[$i]['type']!='p'): $_width =15; $content .= '<tr><td colspan="4" height="1" >'.zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '4').'</td></tr>'; $new_style = 'cate_root'; $icon = zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES.'sidebox/category-main-arrow.gif','','','',"style='cursor: hand;' onclick=\"openorclose('mybox_".($i+1)."')\""); $link = zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']); break; case ($box_categories_array[$i]['has_sub_cat']): //continue; $new_style = 'cate_sub'; $icon = zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES.'sidebox/orange-arrow.png'); $link = zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']); break; case ($box_categories_array[$i]['type']=='p'): if($box_categories_array[$i-1]['type']!='p' and !empty($box_categories_array[$i-1])) { $firstitem = true; if($box_categories_array[$i+1]['type']=='r') $tabledeep=2; //echo "fristitem-"; } if(($box_categories_array[$i+1]['type']!='p' and !empty($box_categories_array[$i+1])) or empty($box_categories_array[$i+1])) { $lastitem = true; //echo "lastitem-"; } if(($box_categories_array[$i+1]['type']=='r' or empty($box_categories_array[$i+1]))) { $doubleclose = true; //echo "double close AAA"; // echo $tabledeep."<br>"; } $icon = zen_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '20', '4'); $_width = 40; $new_style = 'cate_products'; $link = zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($box_categories_array[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $box_categories_array[$i]['id']); if($box_categories_array[$i+1]['type']!='p') $new_style = 'cate_products_last'; break; default: /**/if($box_categories_array[$i-1]['type'] == 'r'){ //echo "first c<br>"; $firstitem = true; } $new_style = 'cate_sub'; $_width = 20; $icon = zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES.'sidebox/orange-arrow.png','','','',"id=\"IMG_$i\" style='cursor: hand;padding-left:6px;padding-right:6px' onclick=\"openorclose2('mybox_".($i+1)."','IMG_".$i."')\""); $link = zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']); } if($box_categories_array[$i]['id']==34) { $link = 'man-p-34.html'; } //$_test .= 'No.'.$i.'

This tpl_categories.php was been coded in my first php coder and It was really hard to understand his code. Please help me to find where to edit or what should I do. I want to hide and show the categories also from root to subcategories.

Target (it should be):

School Bags (root category)
School Uniform
School Utility

The sub-category should be hide and only the root category will show. Once you have clicked the button of the root category the list of sub cat will show.

Please help me guys.. Thank you very much..
