finkelsteinj Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Hello Everyone, I need help with modifying the index.php file. I would like it to display sub catagories as a drop down menu, not listed out in rows like it currently does. I think I know what needs to be changed but not sure where or what to do. I am just now starting to learn PHP so any help is greatly appreciated. The following code is what I think needs to be changed to an array but I am not 100% certain. <?php if (isset($cPath) && strpos('_', $cPath)) { // check to see if there are deeper categories within the current category $category_links = array_reverse($cPath_array); for($i=0, $n=sizeof($category_links); $i<$n; $i++) { $categories_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'"); $categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query); if ($categories['total'] < 1) { // do nothing, go through the loop } else { $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name"); break; // we've found the deepest category the customer is in } } } else { $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name"); } $number_of_categories = tep_db_num_rows($categories_query); $rows = 0; while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) { $rows++; $cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']); $width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%'; echo ' <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "\n"; if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) { echo ' </tr>' . "\n"; echo ' <tr>' . "\n"; } } // needed for the new products module shown below $new_products_category_id = $current_category_id; ?> Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
