notforever:
Hello, How can I put all the categories listed in the top(as in target.com)form left to right? i don't want the menu categories, instead I would like that each category was a menu.
Sorry for my english.
thanks
kburner posted the code back a few pages when I asked the same question.
replace all the code in /includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php
with this
<?php
class zen_categories_ul_generator {
var $root_category_id = 0,
$max_level = 6,
$data = array(),
$root_start_string = '',
$root_end_string = '',
$parent_start_string = '',
$parent_end_string = '',
$parent_group_start_string = '<ul%s>',
$parent_group_end_string = '</ul>',
$child_start_string = '<li%s>',
$child_end_string = '</li>',
$spacer_string = '
',
$spacer_multiplier = 1;
var $document_types_list = ' (3) ';// acceptable format example: ' (3, 4, 9, 22, 18) '
function zen_categories_ul_generator($load_from_database = true)
{
global $languages_id, $db;
$this->data = array();
$categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id

" and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' " .
" order by c.parent_id, c.sort_order, cd.categories_name";
$categories = $db->Execute($categories_query);
while (!$categories->EOF) {
$this->data[$categories->fields['parent_id']][$categories->fields['categories_id']] = array('name' => $categories->fields['categories_name'], 'count' => 0);
$categories->MoveNext();
}
}
function buildBranch($parent_id, $level = 1, $submenu=false) {
if ($parent_id != '0') {
$result = sprintf($this->parent_group_start_string, ($submenu==true) ? ' class="level'. ($level) . '"' : '' );
}
if (($this->data[$parent_id])) {
foreach($this->data[$parent_id] as $category_id => $category) {
$category_link = $category_id;
if (($this->data[$category_id])) {
$result .= sprintf($this->child_start_string, ($submenu==true) ? ' class="submenu"' : '');
} else {
if (($this->data[$category_id]) && ($submenu==false)) {

The one thing about the code change is that the link to your subcats from the menu does not dispay the full category path. Just the final subcat and product id which means the normal categories sidebox menu doesn't open. I imagine the code could be changed to get it to open the full path but I havn't figured out how.
