@focus360: 1 of the things you can do, is to explode just at 1 place, then copy that array in to a var so you dont have to explode too many times.

Another thing is to maybe re-think the whole process again, see why you need to do that, is there another way around.

@MOni: I already placed the files in the folders they should be in, just look for those folders in your ZC installation.

@MOni: got your pm. Please list all the package files you currently have on the server, and their locations here. And also where you currently place the out code.

Regards

I have installed your mod but can't get it to work/show. Categories display just the same as it was before adding your files. Files are placed exactly as you have it. I even went through your directions like 10 times and made sure all the files are exactly where they should be and overwrites are exact.

Is there somewhere I have to turn this on in admin or something?:lookaroun I can't seem to figure out what I have not done to get it to work.

Thanks!

http://www.wildflower-graphics.com/shopExactly which one are you talking about? The simple category module or the all subcat product module.

BTW, I will create a separated thread for that module to make it easier for everyone.

The all sub cats products one.

Thank you!

The all sub cats products one.

Thank you!
Can you please describe all the steps you did? Maybe together we can spot something missing?

First I went in and uploaded file config.simple_categories_tree.php to the includes/auto_loaders file. Then I uploaded file simple_categories_tree.php to the includes/classes location.

I then went in and renamed the files that I needed as backups so I would not loose them by adding a _ at the end of those file names. I then uploaded the modified files header_php.php to the includes/modules/pages/index and dafault_filter.php to the includes/index_filters files.

Nothing happened so I did your step three and made sure all your modifications were in the uploaded files as described by the directions many times.

I have looked it over a lot and just can't seem to see what I did wrong.

Thank you so much for your help. This mod will be wonderful to have and I sure appreciate your offering it to us for use and being willing to help us get it up and running when you can.:clap:

Do you have a link? PM me if you dont want to post it here, I just want to see it in action.

Also, 1 of the common problem is the ftp client, sometimes it doesnt upload the edited file as expected.

Regards

Here is my link.

I just went in and copy/pasted the files directly into my site just in case it was the FTP and it still isn't working.:(

Thanks again for your help.

Kinda weird, check if you are using over-ride file, because if you do you need to edit the over-ride file instead of the default file.

Send me a PM with you ftp info if you want me to look into it.

Dohh, lol, if you rename the file header_php_.php Zencart will still load it. (just found out this one)

I renamed it to header_php.php.bak now, working fine.

Thank you for all of your help!

I have the all products in sub-categories installed, and all is working great. However I have just noticed that, the sort order is not functioning. It always displays the products alphabetically until it reaches the deepest sub-cat when it shows the products as they should be (by sort order).

Is this an error in my installation or are you not able to display via sort order when all products in sub-cats are being displayed?

You can see it working in the demo now:

I AM VERY SORRY IGNORE THIS POST - It had nothing to do with all sub-cat listings. Sorry I spent hours on this, and there turned out to be nothing wrong with anything! Duh!

The Simple Categories mod appears to be exactly what I'm looking for. I want all my subcategories to be expanded out to their lowest level all the time in the sidebar regardless of what page the customer is on.

I've downloaded the files you provide on your website via Linkys. I then uploaded them to my server, simple_categories_tree.php to /classes and config.simple_categories_tree.php to /autoloaders.

I'm looking at your sample text file and see the modifications you made to my_categories.php and tpl_my_categories.php. This is where I'm completely lost since I really don't know what I'm doing :smile: (I've just been getting things to work by following directions).

Do I need to create files called 'my_categories.php' and 'tpl_my_categories.php' or do I create and modify override versions of 'categories.php' and 'tpl_categories.php'?

I understand that you're calling the functions you wrote in the download files, I just have absolutely no idea what I need to modify so that I call these functions from my code and they put the expanded categories list in my sidebox instead of the collapsed one.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

"

Yup, create new. This is if you want to create a new sidebox where you can display the tree.

Otherwise, you can just place the code (see readme file sample) anywhere you want to display that tree. You can have multiple trees displayed at various places on one page.

OK, I think I'm starting to get this a little better. I'm going to create the two new files 'my_categories.php' and 'tpl_my_categories.php'.

I want to have the expanded category tree replace the categories tree showing now in my left sidebox.

I'm confused about what code I need to call my new function from so that I get the expanded version and suppress the one that's showing now?

Thanks!

Once you created those files, you can go to admin->tools->layout box controller to disable your current category sidebox and enable the new one.
