Accidently deleted categories.php

[julieoolie]

I feel like an idiot. I accidently deleted my categories.php file from includes/modules/sideboxes/CUSTOM/categories.php Is there a way to get it back?

If you have not made any change on it, just copy the one in the default template. If you did make change, you will have to find if you have a backup copy on your hdd.

There isn't one there to copy. I went to includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/ and all that's in there is a txt file.

[yellow1912]

it's in includes/modules/sideboxes/

Where you need to get the original copy from is /includes/modules/sideboxes/categories.php.

There isn't one there either

Then you have to download the ZC package again and get the file from there.

OK, then you're going to have to get a copy from a fresh download of the files.

You might be able to take a copy of this and save it as categories.php (from a v1.3.8a set)

    $box_categories_array = array();

// don't build a tree when no categories
    $check_categories = $db->Execute("select categories_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_status=1 limit 1");

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);

Got it! All better! Thank you so much! I was panicing thinking I'd ruined my store!
