Only show current category and subcategories

[Guest]

Hi All,

 

I would like to thank you in advance for any help or guidance you can give me with this issue. Heres the rundown of what I am trying to accomplish:

 

1. For example... I have 4 main categories when my site loads -

 

____Menu______

Category1

Category2

Category3

Category4

 

 

2. When A user Clicks on a category I want to only show the Current Selected Category and all its sub categories. So if a user was to click on Category2 the nav above would now look like this:

 

_____Menu_____

Category2

--Sub1

--Sub2

--Sub3

 

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks a million,

-Joe

in catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

find:

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . (int)$languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

 

change to:

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

 

i think thats all that was needed... let me know if it works for you.

Hi Voided,

Thanks for your help and reply. It's very apprecated. I replaced the line above in the categories PHP but it still gives me the same thing. Any other suggestions? I appreciate all your help.

Thanks
