also i want to be able to switch the subcatagories off?
can anyone help PLEASE?
I've got the fix for people who want NO SUB CATEGORIES showing in their drop down menu.
First, open up includes/functions/functions_categories.php
Save a backup, as this is a core override, and there is no override folder for function files.
Then add this new function:
Code:
function zen_get_categories_no_sub($categories_array = '', $parent_id = '0', $indent = '', $status_setting = '') {
global $db;
if (!is_array($categories_array)) $categories_array = array();
// show based on status
if ($status_setting != '') {
$zc_status = " c.categories_status='" . (int)$status_setting . "' and ";
} else {
$zc_status = '';
}
$categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_status
from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
where " . $zc_status . "
parent_id = '" . (int)$parent_id . "'
and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
order by sort_order, cd.categories_name";
$categories = $db->Execute($categories_query);
while (!$categories->EOF) {
$categories_array[] = array('id' => $categories->fields['categories_id'],
'text' => $indent . $categories->fields['categories_name']);
$categories->MoveNext();
}
return $categories_array;
}
////
You can add it wherever you want, I added it right after the code for function zen_get_categories.
Now open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories_select.php
and change:
zen_get_categories
to
zen_get_categories_no_sub
VOILA!

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.
Does the above remove ALL subcategories? I actually just want to display parent, and subcategories, but not any of the sub categories child categories. Any thoughts?

Re: Category Drop Down SELECT Menu Sidebox Mod.
Hi!
I have tried searching for this, but i get no matches. So i'm sorry if this is a second request...
Do you have a sulotion for highlighting the selected parent category? So when i am at the home page, the home "button" stays selected and when i browse a category, the top level category stays selected in the menu?
THanks!

You could try this:
in tpl_drop_menu.php
comment out in this section:
PHP Code:
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
$zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
$menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
these lines:
PHP Code:
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
$zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
$menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
//$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
//$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
//$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
If this is a subcategory to many, remove the //from the lowest of 3 lines.
Works for me.
just a note: this is without the new function. Just the original files.
