[brandonc503]

where it has the subcategories in the categories.php page.. how can i get the categories in the same tier to show up right above the subcategories..

   {if isset($subcategories)}
   <!-- Subcategories -->

{l s='Subcategories'}

       {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}

getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
                   {if $subcategory.id_image}
getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" />
                   {else}

                   {/if}



getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

       {/foreach}




   {/if}

Add this to category.php on line 50 (just before the $subCategories line):

$parentSubCategories = array();
if ($category->id != 1)
{
   $parent = new Category($category->id_parent);
   $parentSubCategories = $parent->getSubCategories(intval($cookie->id_lang));
}
if (sizeof($parentSubCategories) > 0)
   $smarty->assign('parentSubcategories', $parentSubCategories);

then add the following before the code you mentioned above:

{if isset($parentSubcategories)}
<!-- Subcategories -->

{l s='Parent Subcategories'}

   {foreach from=$parentSubcategories item=subcategory}

getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
               {if $subcategory.id_image}
getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" />
               {else}

               {/if}



getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

   {/foreach}




{/if}

This code should work, but the problem is that it uses two id="subcategories", which is bad. It would be better if you changed both id="subcategories" to class="subcategories", then in global.css, change all #subcategories to .subcategories.

not working well

But if one wants to show all subcategories, sub subcategories and sub sub subcategorie of a category in one page?

Thanks

I also cannot get this to work.

I would like to have that when I'm on a subcategorie that all categories around that one where Iḿ in are showed... so the rest that is under that parent.

How to do this ?
