Simple Category Tree

[some name not taken]

The debug utility is telling me

[25-Oct-2008 23:46:12] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/litez/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_my_categories.php on line 3

with the following (amended) code

<?php
$content = '';
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 2) $categories_id = 0 retrieve_categories_tree_array() build_deepest_level_children() 

retrieve_deepest_cats_array($categories_1, categories_2, categories_3);
?>

There seems to be only two variations of simple_category_tree that will work, even with all_subcats_products installed, and both are as listed in the readme and sample files:

<?php
$content = '';
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 2);
?>

(unordered list version)

<?php
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string($parent_tag = 'div', $child_tag = 'span', $divider = '', $categories_id = 0, $max_level = 9, $include_root = 

false, $strict = false)
?>

(flat line version)

neither gives a fully expanded tree, and the additional variables (help file) do not seem to change anything.

Personally, I'm a little puzzled..

Why do you call a class method that way?
// call this first to build the children, and a class method has to be called like this

$_SESSION['category_tree']->build_deepest_level_children() ;

$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 2);

Also. this is clearly very very wrong:

$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 2) $categories_id = 0 retrieve_categories_tree_array() build_deepest_level_children()


1. You can not call a class method without using the object
2. $categories_id = 0 retrieve_categories_tree_array() build_deepest_level_children()
Something like this will of course give you a bunch of errors

OK, thanks, but now I have lost the main page and have no footer, with the error

[26-Oct-2008 00:30:29] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/litez/public_html/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_my_categories.php on line 3

The sticking point is trying to pesuade the code to put a fully expanded tree into an unordered list. - I just cannot get the syntax right...

[yellow1912]

Which means you have a syntax error on that line :), and since I cant see that line I dont know what it is.

<?php
$content = '';
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 4) $build_deepest_level_children() ;
?>

I am trying to build a fully expanded tree in unordered list format, but I keep screwing up the syntax.

[yellow1912]

$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 4) $build_deepest_level_children() ;

Why do you have this: $build_deepest_level_children()?

Please read the example I posted above

Yes, sorry, - getting there now...

<?php
$_SESSION['category_tree']->build_deepest_level_children() ;
$_SESSION['category_tree']->retrieve_cpath() ;
$content .= $_SESSION['category_tree']->build_category_string('ul', 'li', '', 0, 2); 
?>

It's still not doing what I want, but I think this is how it should be.

What are you trying to do?
