Top horizontal menu limits

[coreygun]

Hi, is there any way to limit the top horizontal menu to the first 1 or two category levels?

 

We have about 20 of those, but at the moment as standard it shows the 3rd level too, which is about 200 categories and therefore fills the screen!

 

Thanks

In admin search for blockcategories.

Click the link to the Categories Block module (at the top).

Click the front office features categories block.

Configure and save.

 

Add that page to "quick access" to get back to it easily.

I'm sure I tried that before, but the prestashop login (/admin1234) link isnt working at the moment...

 

Will try again soon...

Even setting it to 1 doesnt change it...

That's for the category block, not for the top menu

Sorry, NemoPS

Yep, so any way of doing it for the top menu, that you know of?

This is a tutorial video by NemoPS

 

Limiting subcategories in the Prestashop Top Menu

 

 

I hope it's what you're looking for. I hope I'm right this time, Nemo

Coreygun,
I posted my tut a few messages above, and  pause4paws also directly linked the video. You should be able to get it that way

Bit late, but this is sorted now, using your tutorial. Thank you NemoPS!

For 1.7 do you have a solution to limit subcategories in top menu?

 

Thank you

[NemoPS]

See if you can locate the code mentioned in the tutorial, it might be the same. The top menu has a different name but the code should be basically unchanged. Look for ps_mainmenu

I have looked in ps_mainmenubut I saw that only first line is unchanged the rest looks totally different.

which part should I modify?

 protected function generateCategoriesMenu($categories, $is_children = 0)
    {
        $nodes = [];

        foreach ($categories as $key => $category) {
            $node = $this->makeNode([]);
            
            if ($category['level_depth'] > 1) {
                $cat = new Category($category['id_category']);
                $link = $cat->getLink();
            } else {
                $link = $this->context->link->getPageLink('index');
            }

            $node['url'] = $link;
            $node['type'] = 'category';
            $node['page_identifier'] = 'category-' . $category['id_category'];

            /* Whenever a category is not active we shouldnt display it to customer */
            if ((bool)$category['active'] === false) {
                continue;
            }

            $current = $this->page_name == 'category' && (int)Tools::getValue('id_category') == (int)$category['id_category'];
            $node['current'] = $current;
            $node['label']   = $category['name'];
            $node['image_urls']  = [];

            if (isset($category['children']) && !empty($category['children'])) {
                $node['children'] = $this->generateCategoriesMenu($category['children'], 1);

                $files = scandir(_PS_CAT_IMG_DIR_);

                if (count(preg_grep('/^'.$category['id_category'].'-([0-9])?_thumb.jpg/i', $files)) > 0) {
                    foreach ($files as $file) {
                        if (preg_match('/^'.$category['id_category'].'-([0-9])?_thumb.jpg/i', $file) === 1) {
                            $image_url = $this->context->link->getMediaLink(_THEME_CAT_DIR_.$file);
                            $node['image_urls'][] = $image_url;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            $nodes[] = $node;
        }

        return $nodes;
    }

 

Thank you

Hello!
I had the same problem, in the Top Menu I needed to limit the Categories detail level to 1.
I'm no expert coder at all, so please be kind... may be I performed major surgery instead being a bit more gentle 🙃
