Product categories not showing in footer

[stkramer]

Hi!

 

I'm using prestashop 1.5.4.1 and my product categories are not showing in the footer of my website. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks!

[SmartDataSoft]

footer category is show by blockcategory and there are two tpl file in that module one show left side and another show footer. you can check your module folder that two file exists. if your module tpl is overwrite from theme than you need to check that from theme folder.

 

Hope you can understand what to do.

The blockcategories_footer.tpl file shows the following code:

 

<!-- Block categories module -->
<div class="blockcategories_footer">
<p class="title_block">{l s='Categories' mod='blockcategories'}</p>
<div class="category_footer" style="float:left;clear:none;width:{$widthColumn}%">
<div style="float:left" class="list">
 <ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">

 {foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}
  {if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
   {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
  {else}
   {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child}
  {/if}

  {if ($smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.iteration mod $numberColumn) == 0 AND !$smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
 </ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="category_footer" style="float:left;clear:none;width:{$widthColumn}%">
 <div style="float:left" class="list">
 <ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">
  {/if}
  {/foreach}
 </ul>
</div>
</div>
<br class="clear"/>
</div>
<!-- /Block categories module -->

 

I have no idea what to do. Can you help me out?

[vekia]

hello

 

you pasted code from modules/blockcategories/ ?

check also the themes/your_theme/modules/blockcategories directory

if blockcategories module files exist there - they are correct files (prestashop uses those files)

...maybe you've got different code there.

 

btw.

 

what you've got in the "How many footer columns would you like" field in the module configuration page?

[stkramer]

I compared both codes from the blockcategories module (my theme and modules/blockcategories), they are exactly the same.

 

what you've got in the "How many footer columns would you like" field in the module configuration page?

 

I have 1 over there.

[stkramer]

Suggestions anyone? I still have this issue and don't know how to solve this.

[vekia]

can you put there:

{$blockCategTree|print_r}

 

just before the

<!-- Block categories module -->

 

after that - refresh your front office - check the footer section - any new content appear?

[stkramer]

Thanks vekia, but unfortunately it does not work.

[vekia]

you inserted the code to the modules dir located in your theme directory?

if so, it looks like the controller doesn't work properly

[stkramer]

Yes I did. I also tried in the modules dir located in the main modules directory. Both didn't work.

[stkramer]

Hi vekia, can you tell me how I can fix the controller?

[vekia]

sure, first step: it's necessary to turn error reporting on, so please turn it on - and then refresh your store front page, if any error occur -please paste it here

[stkramer]

I turned it on, but no error occurs.

[vekia]

have you got an access to the php error log file?

[stkramer]

Hi Vekia,

 

still haven't been able to fix the issue. Don't know if I have access to error log. Can I find it in the prestashop folder on the server? Or do I need to retrieve it from my hosting provider?

[vekia]

you can check FTP root directory for something like log.txt /log/ or /logs/

if you havent got these files there - then ask your hosting provider

[stkramer]

I got the error log file. It shows the following errors:
