[vekia]

Yes! This is the root category link http://www.eltmegastore.com/2-prodotti

[vekia]

in this case it will be necessary to modify the block top menu php file (blocktopmenu.php)

there is a switch code which generates links in top menu,

There are two switch; makeMenuOption( ) and makeMenu( )

 

What is my switch? Thank's for support! 

[vekia]

one simple change:

 

private function getCategory($id_category, $id_lang = false, $id_shop = false)

{

$id_lang = $id_lang ? (int)$id_lang : (int)Context::getContext()->language->id;

$category = new Category((int)$id_category, (int)$id_lang);

 

if ($category->level_depth > 1)

 

 

 

change if ($category->level_depth > 1) to if ($category->level_depth > 0)

[Fablux]

one simple change:

 

 

 

 

change if ($category->level_depth > 1) to if ($category->level_depth > 0)

 

with this change, nothing happens. 

[vekia]

after that you have to recompile module, just hit "save" button on module configuration page

after that this method will work

[Fablux]

Does not work, faulting module.

[vekia]

what you see after clicking on "save" ?

turn on error reporting, you will see what's goin on there (what and where causing problem)

[Fablux]

After chlicking on save it's regular, when i save it's total white in FO and error in BO. Before, when i modify ($category->level_depth > 0) the module topmenu it's vanish from the module list in BO! 

[vekia]

turn on error reporting will see what's goin on there.

it's almost impossible that change from 1 to 0 causing this - or it is, but probably because of there is not enough memory to regenerate menu

[imachine]

I confirm this works, also in 1.7 - the file to edit is ps_mainmenu.php in ps_mainmenu inside modules/

 

Same line to be modified, result as expected.

[U1yss]

works on 1.7.7.1

thanks!

hi guys,

this solution worked for me for a while, however, probably after an update of prestashop, it went back to earlier method.

 

do I need to avoid any updates in the future?

 or maybe I have to edit the .tpl file as well in order to get this working forever?

[SANDU]

anyone knows a similar solution for prestashop 8.2?
