A small problem with the category listing module.

Hi,

I have a Product Categories module in my sidebar. Click on the category and it opens to show the sub-categories. Click on the sub-category and up pops the category page with all its products.

Unfortunately, if a Category has products but no sub-categories clicking on the Category does nothing.

Is there any way to make the behaviour of the Product Categories module the same for categories and sub-categories?

Many thanks,

Ian P.

Hi,

You can edit the view "category / listing_list".
With a screenshot of your configuration or a link to a page, we could give you more information about the modifications.

The website is in the sig. HikaShop pages are under the "Store" menu tab.

Here is my Product Categories default view:



When Casting is selected, Bases closes but nothing else happens -- there is no display of the products under Casting.

If Link on Main Categories is set to Yes, then when Casting is selected the products under the Casting category are displayed (yay!!) but when Fantasy Football is selected the menu opens briefly to display the sub-categories -- but then closes again and displays the sub-categories in the main body position (boo!!!).

Is there a configuration that allows Link on Main Categories to operate if there are no sub-categories, but otherwise displays the sub-categories beneath the category in the Product Categories module?

Many thanks,

Regards,

Hi,

There is no option for it. I made some tests and it would require to modify the category listing.
It uses a javascript slider library.

There are two different solutions.
1/ Do not set the classname "jpane-toggler" if the row does not have children.
2/ Add a link to open the category as "child" if there is no children.

Here the modification of code for the first solution.

		case 'allchildsexpand':
			?>
			<div id="category_panel_<?php echo $this->params->get('id');?>" class="pane-sliders">
			<?php
			if(!empty($this->rows)){
				foreach($this->rows as $k => $row){
					if($only_if_products && $row->number_of_products<1) continue;
					$link = hikashop_completeLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$row->category_id.'&name='.$row->alias.$this->menu_id);
					?>
					<div class="panel">
						<h3 class="<?php if(!empty($row->childs)) { echo 'jpane-toggler'; } ?> title" id="category_pane_<?php echo $k;?>" style="cursor:default;">
							<span>
								<a href="<?php echo $link;?>">
									<?php
										echo $row->category_name;
										if($this->params->get('number_of_products',0)){
											echo ' ('.$row->number_of_products.')';
										}
									?>
								</a>
							</span>
						</h3>
