strange categories block behaviour

[alfredopacino]

as you can see i have a left column with category block.

i want to show this block in ALL categories product list:

now in the categories with subcategories i see just the subcategories list and the catalog block, in the categories without subcategories i dont see anything.

you need to edit module settings and set "Category root" - Home

 

could you please do one thing for me, once you'll set "Category root" to Home could you please check if you don't have a bug with categories module described here http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/319267-categories-block-looks-like-one-category-is-selected-on-everywhere/ ? thanks!

[alfredopacino]

i set home as root.

 

im sorry i dont get what your problem is, but you can see in my site if you notice or not.

to me it seems works fine, just the title: i dont get why the block title changes each category page, it confuses the users.

i have a big problem with block categories , if i choose any subcategories whe i come back to the home or i choose other page , the block remains open random, I mean it does not close all , and at the same time I have a problem with the footer, now there are 4 columns, I think the problem is blockcategories, does not work well , i set module in this way:

 

 

Category root

Home page

 

Set the maximum depth of sublevels displayed in this block (0 = infinite).

Hi, 

 

Can any one tell me how to remove left category block title changes. 1.6v. Every time I click on category or a child of category, the name changes. Where all the time it was only "Categories" (the title of category block), but now it changes dynamicaly.

 

Appreciate any help.

modules/categories block

 

set Root=home

[Dzinyna]

my root is set 'home' And I still have this behaviour.

sorry i didnt get the issue, but now you have set root=home at least you don't have a "dynamic" category block content.

 

for your title issue you have to change blockcategories.tpl file at 29th row

 

change this:

<h2 class="title_block">
		{if isset($currentCategory)}
			{$currentCategory->name|escape}
		{else}
			{l s='Categories' mod='blockcategories'}
		{/if}
	</h2>

to this:

<h2 class="title_block">
			{l s='Categories' mod='blockcategories'}
	</h2>

Thanks for your solution. It helped me a lot

I also have Root=Home in my modules/Categories Block, maximum depth =0, Footer columns=2, have made your changes to the /modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.tpl at line 29 as stated above, but my subcategories are still dynamic.
Also I must add, the categories block in the footer is still only 1 column, not 2 as required. I have un-installed the module, reinstalled it.
Problem persists in Firefox and IE, so its not a caching issue.

i asked for a link for see the block categories title issue, i dont solved the footer issue yet.

so you edited blockcategories.tpl with my code and still get the "dynamic" title? have you tried to clear the cache?

edit: sorry i didnt see you already tried to clear the cache, so i dont know what could be the problem 

 

ps: i think you should create two main categories "mens" and "ladies" move the categories (formal wears, sport wear..) in them. you should do the same in topmenu.

just my 2 cent
