Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category()

[motorskillz]

My store is here:

 

http://www.substitutemag.com/store/index.php

 

If i click on my account or checkout i get this error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category() (previously declared in /var/www/html/substitutemag.com/store/includes/header.php:136) in /var/www/html/substitutemag.com/store/includes/boxes/categories.php on line 13

 

How can i fix this? Cant find anthing when i search for it,.. and yes i took out my server info when i search

search your files for tep_show_category Looks somehow is present in more than one file. Should only be present in catalog\includes\boxes\categories.php. Also the categories box should be included once only. So check the catalog\includes\column_left.php and catalog\includes\column_right.php for duplicates of the box file.

I check my fiels and fould the tep_show_category line in too files

 

categories.pho and header.php.

 

 

But if i take it out of the header.. the catorgories dont show up on the site. Althought the error goes away haha.

ok no problem there just move the tep_show_category into the catalog\includes\functions\general.php. Then remove the functions from both the other files. In other words they both will still use it but it will only be declared once.

Can you please explain what you mean by remove it. Becuase when I orignally did the search in the files for tep_show_category

 

is comes up 3 times on both pages. The code have an entire section commented labled "categories" that contain these tages along with other code. Do i remove the entore catgories section? Because thats what i did before. and the categories didnt show up at all anymore.

 

tep_show_category seems to be part of other code: example here:

tep_show_category($tree[$counter]['next_id']);

Yes so you move this part of the code you posted into the general.php

 

function tep_show_category($counter) {
global $tree, $categories_string, $cPath_array;

for ($i=0; $i<$tree[$counter]['level']; $i++) {
$categories_string .= "  ";
}

$categories_string .= '<a href="';

if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $counter;
} else {
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $tree[$counter]['path'];
}

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">';

if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {
$categories_string .= '<b>';
}

// display category name
$categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name'];

if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {
$categories_string .= '</b>';
}

if (tep_has_category_subcategories($counter)) {
$categories_string .= '->';
}

$categories_string .= '</a>';

if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') {
$products_in_category = tep_count_products_in_category($counter);
if ($products_in_category > 0) {
$categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';
}
}

$categories_string .= '<br>';

if ($tree[$counter]['next_id'] != false) {
tep_show_category($tree[$counter]['next_id']);
}
}

 

Thats the function code and if it's replicated in the box and header it will cause the error. Now check the other files if they contain the function definition like this:

 

function tep_show_category

should be declared once. So by moving it into a common file like "general.php" every script can simply call it.

 

Backup files first
