usercategory2.php Can you edit this code for me...

[mightphill]

K so I'm not up to it with php - I'm a designer and coding does my head in - so question is can some help change the php code below to only show one level of subcategories.

This is the file that I'm using to display the category box - I'm using an html template and calling the php with $usercategory2 - but it displays all the sub categories - have tried using some of the other php category files but this is the closest one to what I'm after. Any help would be wicked awesome - cheers in advance...

 

here's the usercategory2.php file

 

<?php

function tep_show_usercategory() {

global $categories_string, $categories_header, $categories_footer, $languages_id, $HTTP_GET_VARS;

global $level;

$selectedPath = array();

 

// Get all of the categories on this level

 

$fileexist="false";

 

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, c.level, cd.categories_name, cd.categories_heading_title, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . $languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_heading_title");

 

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {

 

// Add category link to $categories_string

$cPath_new = $categories['categories_id'];

 

$cPath_new_text = "cPath=" . $cPath_new;

 

$z_tmpfile=STS_TEMPLATE_DIR . "categorylevel".$categories['level'].".html";

if (file_exists($z_tmpfile)) {

$z_fh = fopen($z_tmpfile, 'r');

$z_tmp = fread($z_fh, filesize($z_tmpfile));

fclose($z_fh);

 

$z_tmp = str_replace("\$url", tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new_text), $z_tmp);

$z_tmp = str_replace("\$longname", $categories['categories_name'], $z_tmp);

 

$categories_string .= $z_tmp;

} else {

$categories_string .= "<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td valign='top'>";

 

$categories_string .= "<img src='images/pixel_trans.gif' height=1 width=" . ($categories['level']*5) . ">";

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

$categories_string .= tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new_text);

$categories_string .= '">';

 

$categories_string .= $categories['categories_name'];

$categories_string .= '</a></td></tr></table>';

}

}

 

// if (AUCTION_CATEGORY=='true') {

// }

 

}

?>

 

<!-- categories //-->

<?php

 

echo theme_boxstart("categorybox");

$categories_header = '<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td>';

$categories_string = '';

$categories_footer = '</td></tr></table>';

 

tep_show_usercategory();

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $categories_header . $categories_string . $categories_footer);

 

// new infoBoxPlain($info_box_contents);

echo $categories_header . $categories_string . $categories_footer;

echo theme_boxend("categorybox");

?>

<!-- categories_eof //-->

Looks like you are not working with the original osCommerce files. Whoever modified it can probably do it for you.

 

I tried to solve it but realized that I don't know what the tep_show_usercategory() function do. So if you need more help you need to find and post that function.

Hey thanks for trying - I thought that might be the case - yes the files are moded to integrate with a desktop admin program so it all gets a bit messy when trying to do script mods... especially when I've got no idea either... haha oh well... THANKS again...

 

I'll try to figure out the mods and if I do I'll post with more detail - could take me the beter part of the next decade to work out though...
