Addition to post #59 above

It seems that after adding a new category (see point 2) it is necessary to "Reset" the cache. Then the new category shows every time.

Would it be possible to automatically clear the cache after adding a new category?

Yes, it's possible, you could open admin/categories.php and find:

if (USE_CACHE == 'true') {
tep_reset_cache_block('categories');
tep_reset_cache_block('also_purchased');
}

and add in:

tep_reset_cache_block('categories_box2');

Untested but it may work, ill have a look later hopefully, it may require further coding like in the frontend in the admin functions part.

1. True. I'll take a look at that. It may not be possible, due to the nature of the jQuery Accordion style.

2. The cache should clear after adding a new category. That's a bug. I'll take a look at that as well.

Hello,

Is there a way so when you click on a category link it doesnt load the page but just expands (For example: you click on the "Hardware" link on the navbar while on index.php and it expands the category but still stays on index.php instead of going to the category list page)


Thank you

Thx for great addon.

It is possible to make this and disable reload?

There is no reload involved, so I don't know what you mean.

I've uploaded a new version that fixes a few annoying bugs:

• If you click on a top-level category when you are already looking at a subcategory of that category, the box now opens the category you clicked on.
  
• Cache now works correctly and does not interfere with the old categories box cache.
  
• The box now works properly on shared SSL pages. This is an option for those users who have shared SSL and are seeing problems.

I smuggest an upgrade only for those users who are having problems. The appearance is otherwise the same as the previous release.

I've uploaded another bugfix release to correct a typo in the module file. If you have installed version 1.1, please replace the module file with the one in this package.

This addon provides a Categories box styled with the jQuery UI Accordion controls. Top-level categories are Section headers and subcategories are links inside the Content panels. The box works the same way the stock osCommerce box does, the difference is only in styling.

Code is now available here.

I've copied all the files to the correct directories. In the admin panel, I go to modules, boxes and press the install button.
I get a page with the accordian catalog but there is no further button to install. Any ideas?

[kymation]

That usually means there's an error in one of the files. Try uploading the files again.

I tried but no difference. Below is a screenshot. It looks good but there is nothing to the right of what you see here.

That's still most likely an error in one of the files. This code works on my test site, so a code error is unlikely (although not impossible.)

The page is halting on an error. You can't see the error because you have error display blocked. You need to find your error log and see what it says. If you can't access the PHP logs, edit your admin/includes/application_top.php to turn on error reporting. Change this line

  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

to this

  error_reporting(E_ALL);

Hi Frank,

I was looking for the same request and I found this very good solution:

I think that this is very important property for this contribution.

In-line CSS seems to work for me. In catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_categories_accordion.php, find this line:

	  $data .= '    <div id="categoriesMenu">' . PHP_EOL;

and change it to

	  $data .= '    <div id="categoriesMenu" style="padding-bottom: 10px;">' . PHP_EOL;

Adjust the 10px to suit.

Setting padding in the stylesheet also works:

div#categoriesMenu {
  padding-bottom: 10px;
}

thank you Jim! I used your first solution

I have a small problem... whenever I make a change to my categories (i.e. add or remove a category) it is not reflected on the site...
Seems like I have a caching issue? Any help would be appreciated.

I see this in the CacheControl section:
TEXT_CACHE_CATEGORIES_ACCORDION File does not exist


Thanks
Andrew

Look in your cache directory using FTP or your host's control panel. Delete any files in that directory. If that doesn't help, the problem is elsewhere.
