Display all categories+products on one page

This mini module will let you display all categories and their products on a single page (the default is the main page)

You can notice that the tpl_modules_all_cats_all_products.php uses a rather messy table template. The reason for that is: this mod was originally coded for a specific site that uses a template like this. Of course you can make any change you want on the template file.

Potential: this mod can be changed to displayed only N number of products per cat, and sort them by date/name/ or randomly. The limit of its application is your imagination.

Special note: Listing all Cats and Products on a single page is NOT recommended for sites with many categories and products, it can seriously slow down the site (because of the amount of images have to be displayed)

You can always find the new version here:
svn.rubikintegration.com/zencart_mods/all_products_on_main/

Please report all bugs or any suggestion for new features in this topic.
PS: if someone can edit the template file to use tabless css instead, please send me the code and I'll update it here. (I'm too lazy now)

Links for this mod, at svn.rubikintegration.com, are incorrect
and produce errors..can you correct please?

The link is already posted on the 2nd post.

For some reason category names are not appearing. I do see codes for the categories_name in the loop but still it isn't displaying? Maybe instead of "title=", it should be "echo"?

Please let me know...

Thanks..

A link to your page would be helpful

I know but its on local testing server. But anyways I figured out how to get the names out. Now I am trying to find out how to display the category in rows rather 1 category/next row, another category/next row. Since I have 4 categories currently, I want to display 2 per row....

That is what the template file is for. Play with it however you want ^^.

On a side note, how do you control the image size for the products in your template? I know categories can be controlled but what about products?

Currently it's using the same height + width with the normal product listing, which can be set via admin.

Right, but if I wanted it to be different?

Thne you have to change the code, it's right there in the template file.> nrg77:

Hi there,

I just tried installing this mod but all it would do is show my first category & its subcategory products normally (as if the mod was not installed) and not show any of the other category's products... is there something I am missing?
What version of Zen Cart was this written for?

all products in a category, show in a page,order by sub-categories ,how to modify?

You might want to look at yellow1912's "all categories & products on one page" mod for pointers. See his signature for a link.

thanks very much!:D

Once the files have been uploaded and filenames.php edited is there an admin setting that needs to be enabled? I can't seem to get this to work.

I am trying to list all of the products in sub cats on the category main page.

Thanks!

How difficult would it be to modify this enhancement to list the products in subcats on the main product page by hard coding that request. I only have 4 or so categories where this will be necessary. I don't mind modifying the tpl_main_page to conditionally display this information based on the main category but I am not sure how to change the new file to accommodate this.

Any ideas?

I think I'm missing something thing wrong. Do you put any of these files in the admin section and also how do you change the number of categories and products per page.

I checked yellow site but this mod no longer there, anyone has a copy of this? I really need this, thanks so much!
