This is actually a very nice addon. But I have stumble up on a little problem.

I only want to show the head categorys, not sub cats and deeper. Is it any one who knows if this is possible to do?

Kind regards

Hi, this addon only display head (main) categories)

Real strange, since it list some 152 categories.

Perhaps i have made some thing wrong?

In our shop we have :12 Main categories _| 1
under this their is sub cats _| 2

But the Category list shows also my sub categories wich makes the list far to long to have on the frontpage

[Jan]

Then this added needs to be customized, with some recursive function to load all the categories

very nice module, but I got 2 needs maybe you could help.

1. I have a problem styling with css. Using the category thumbnails ON, the category name is on the right of the thumb and I need it below. Maybe there is no way to do this though and need to hack the code but I am not a php expert.

2. I would like the thumbnail to be a link to the category too (same as it's name). That surely is a php hack. If someone can help ?

I think the area to hack is this:

Code: Select all

echo '<td>'. ps_product::image_tag( $categories[$kp]["category_thumb_image"], "alt=\"".$categories[$kp]["category_name"]."\"", 0, "category") . '</td>';
	} else if ($displayImg == 1) {
		echo '<td>'. JHTML::_('image', 'modules/mod_virtuemart_category_list/assets/images/icon-folder-small.png', $categories[$kp]['category_name']). '</td>';
	}
	echo '<td align="left" valign="middle" ><a href="'. $sess->url( URL .'index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=' . $categories[$kp]['category_child_id']). '">'.$categories[$kp]['category_name'].'</a></td>';

I will really appreciate any soft of help, even to point me to the right directions in how to hack the code.
Thanks

Hi, yes you need to change it in the code

1) just paste the <br /> (in html), .'<br />'. in php) after the name so it will displayed below or set padding top to the category name

2) if the image is an image you can close it to link '<a href...>'. ... link .'</a>' if this is a css background it cannot be used as link.

Hi, thanks Jan for your help,
just because I tried those things and all I was getting was errors.. could you show me where to put the .'<br />'. and where in the code to start the <a href=" from ?

cheers
