Show all subcategories in category box?!

[nlaur86]

Hello!

 

I want to show the whole category-subcategory tree in the category box but I can't do it :(.

I tryed some contributions but some of them were not working and some of them modified my SEO links (don't know why :( ). I finally found one contrib that is working almost ok but I can't get it to "look nice". The contribution I tryed is "Show Sub-categories".

 

The problem is with the infobox, I think. I have a customized design and I think there are some changes at the infobox design too. So, after I modify my categories.php the result look like the image attached:

 

My original categories.php (that works but the subcategories are not shown) looks like this:

 

<?php

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

if ($count == 0 ) $kk=' class="bg_list_un"'; else $kk=' class="bg_list"'; 
 $count++;

   $categories_string .= '<li'.$kk.'><b>';

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

   $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 .= '<font color="#67BA0A"><b>';
   }

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

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

   if (tep_has_category_subcategories($counter)) {


             if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {






     $categories_string .= '<font color="#67BA0A">▼</font>';
     }
     else
     {
           $categories_string .= '▼';

     }
   }



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


         if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {


       		$categories_string .= '<font color="67BA0A"> (' . $products_in_category . ')</font>';
			}
			else
			{


               		$categories_string .= ' (' . $products_in_category . ')';
}


     }
   }

   $categories_string .= '</a>';

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

   $categories_string .= '</b></li>';

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