Display Categories In Separate Boxes

[gjh42]

You can replace
if($current_category_id == 13) {
with
if((int)$_GET['cPath'] == 13) {
which strips any subcat ids off of the current $cPath value.

Thanks a lot, works like a charm!

What are the conditionals to hide the category in the regular sidebox? I have now twice the category using Separate Category Sidebox?

Thanks

Find this in tpl_categories.php

     if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
        // skip if this is for the document box (==3)
      } else { 

and add

$box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 'cPath=##' or
(substituting your cat id for ##)

to get

     if ($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 'cPath=##' or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
        // skip if this is for the document box (==3)
      } else { 

This only covers the main category; you may need a slightly different form of test if subcats are a problem for you.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestion and It didn´t work. the pages display no content:

if ($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 'cPath=236' or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
// skip if this is for the document box (==3)

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

It doesn´t work properly. It opens another category-subcategory when I´m on the product info page:

I´m on Green Bull ladders- Rung Lock Kit, but the page displays the lock for the Fiberglass Ladders and that´s wrong.

Any suggestion?


Thanks

Jorge

Yes, it looks like the Separate Category sidebox is giving incorrect cPath links. The rung lock kit is in cPath 236_238, but the SC link points to cPath 238, which is not actually a top category but a subcat. This may also affect the breadcrumbs which do not display correctly on the cPath=238 page.

I don't know the code used in the mod, so can't say what may have gone wrong in your copy of it.

Hi,

Thanks again. You wrote this before:

You can replace
if($current_category_id == 13) {
with
if((int)$_GET['cPath'] == 13) {
which strips any subcat ids off of the current $cPath value.


Where do i need to change that?
