Hi there,

Thanks for your response. get to know about the new features.

But sorry to say "categories_dressing" not working according to my requirement.

i need to show the master category and first level subcategory always.


and by click on the sub category level 1 it should show me the list of sub categories at level 2 in the side box.

Hope u understand my requirement and help me accordingly.

Looking forward for positive response.

The ch_category zip file is not downloadable anymore. Does anyone know where to get it? or can someone re-post it. (author please post in downloads area if possable) Thanks

It is included as an option in Categories Dressing, and you can install just the ch_categories if you want to.

The ch_categories download is still on the original site, now on the second page of items. (I didn't test it.)

Hi, below is my code for tpl_categories.php; I've got the 'show all subs' to work but I'm trying to make the main category not linked and bold (to act as a heading). Does anyone know how to do this?

  $content_tm .= '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">';

  for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($box_categories_array);$i++) {
     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 {
      $content_tm .= '<tr>';

      if ($box_categories_array[$i]['current']) {
        if ($box_categories_array[$i]['has_sub_cat']) {
          $content_tm .= '<td class="catnavm">' . $box_categories_array[$i]['name'] . '</td>';
        } else {
          $content_tm .= '<td class="catnavselected"><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']) . '">' . $box_categories_array[$i]['name'] . '</a></td>';
        }
      } else {
          $content_tm .= '<td class="catnav"><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']) . '">' . $box_categories_array[$i]['name'] . '</a></td>';
      }
	  
      if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
        if ((CATEGORIES_COUNT_ZERO == '1' and $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] == 0) or $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] >= 1) {
          $content_tm .= CATEGORIES_COUNT_PREFIX . $box_categories_array[$i]['count'] . CATEGORIES_COUNT_SUFFIX;
        }
      }

      $content_tm .= '</tr>';

    }
  }

      $content_tm .= '</table>';

Thanks

Sorry, I don't want to take the time to retrofit Template Monster's obsolete table layout for features that are built into Categories Dressing. If you want to use that mod, you can hide top categories and make headings to replace them; or you could tweak the code to unlink tops.

The part of the code you show doesn't have a reliable method that could be used for determining top categories, and I don't know what the rest of their version of the file looks like.

What if I was to revert back to the original zencart default template file. What would I need to change from there.

The Categories Dressing mod has the code needed to do this already. You would probably want to install its ch_categories option, and set the active/level control to hide top cats, then make a non-linked heading for the first subcategory of each top cat, with an image or text of the top cat name.
