Simple Category Tree

So this thread seems pretty dead, I am trying to get this working on 1.5.1 but nothing seems to be happening when I upload the files I have exept crashing the site and I get the error:

[10-Apr-2014 13:38:20 Europe/Moscow] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'SimpleCategoriesTree' not found in /home/kwdev/public_html/includes/autoload_func.php on line 69

Has anyone got this running on 1.5.1, what files are you using?

Many thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,

Is that error exactly what is being given?  I see 2 issues, the first is that the file is not in the right location.  It should be in includes/auto_loaders.  And then in that folder there is the php file.  I don't recall the name exactly but its something like "simple category tree".  And then in the classes folder, that file builds the tree.  Those 2 files do not have to be merged with 1.51 code as those are the mods that make it work.  The other 2 or 3 files should be merged in though as a few changes took place from back then.  

I know I have the files and notes for code changes that I did for him.  I will check my flash drives tomorrow and see if I can find them and post it here.  If I can't find them, I will see if he could give me access to his site and track down the files needed.

I would love to see what files you used and possibly a live implementation to see what it looks like to see if it right for me?

Fingers crossed this is what im looking for

Ditto. Spent quite a bit of time looking for what I thought would be a simple change :( Any certainty dealing with this and 1.5.1 would be much appreciated.

well go figure. Found something that works immediately after posting. http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?68448-Uncollapsed-Categories-Tree/page4&highlight=BetterCategories works with 1.5.1

upgrading to V 1.5.4 and I use the simple categories tree. (categories with subcats)
is there a new download package?

It has been so long since this was installed on my site, I am thinking maybe it was just some code? Is it compatible wiht 1.5.4 I don't want to lose all my categories and subcategories. Here is how my site is set up. any help would be appreciated. https://www.mysticcrypt.com

I'm currently trying to implement "Simple Category Tree," on testing site. However, I wonder if I can do this?

Because what it is currently looks is like this...

I tried to look at codes and it seems that the commented out SQL is the one that I needed.
However, I tried to no available and still does not work.

  $categories_query = "select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id
                      from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
                       where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
                       and c.categories_status=1 " .
//                             "and c.categories_id = ptc.category_id " .
//                             "and ptc.category_id = cd.categories_id " .
//                             "and ptc.product_type_id not in  " . $this->document_types_list . "
                       " and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$_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();
         }

I am trying to get this to work, on v1.5.4, but am having difficulties.

I uploaded the new files, and edited my core files as per the readme file, but all I get when I load up a category page is a blank page with absolutely nothing when I do view page source. Perhaps someone can shed some light on what might have changed in the newest releases?
