Adding subcategories of the categories shown in category.tpl

[e-sh0p]

Hello,

 

When browsing a category, I want to display the subcategories of the browsed category and the next level of subcategories in unordered list.

 

Browsing category A will give

 

Subcategory A.1

- Subcategory A.1.1

- Subcategory A.1.2

- Subcategory A.1.3

 

Subcategory A.2

- Subcategory A.2.1

- Subcategory A.2.2

- Subcategory A.2.3

 

I was trying to make a loop in the existing loop of the file category.tpl but it doesn't work, I need the syntaxe or the variable which contains the subcategories. I don't know if this exists or not? I don't find any documentation on that topic.

 

In category.tpl we have:

 

	   	 {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
			<li>
				<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
					{if $subcategory.id_image}
						<img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
					{else}
						<img src="{$img_cat_dir}default-medium.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
					{/if}
				</a><br />
				<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>

			</li>
		{/foreach}

 

I need the variable, like $subcategories, which contains the subsubcategories or maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction?

 

And after with the same logic I want to show all the categories and subcategories in the footer..

 

Any help is appreciated

Hi e-sh0p,

Have you already tried PrestaShop's built-in Layered Navigation Module?

Hello Mike,

 

Thanks for your suggestion, I have already tried this Module, but it's not really what I want. Basicly I just want to modify the category.tpl to display the subcategories of the subcategories displayed in the category.

 

Thanks.

I've tried with the loop found in the sitemap.tpl (because it's almost the same) but variables are missing from the sitemap.php so I added the line of sitemap.php in category.php but doesn't work too

Still nobody? I've tried a lot of different loop with what I found in different tpl files, but it doesn't work

I don't think it's impossible Is it?
