Show All Categories

[michael_s]

Easy to install.

!!!!! Backup your catalog/includes/column_left.php first!!!!!
!!!!! (or if categorie box is on the right site the column_right.php) !!!!!


!!!!! Installation on your own risk. !!!!!

credits goes to prior developer, who made this great contrib!

Features:
- little image in front of categories, depending on categorie has sub's or not
- show categories and subcategories till defined categorie level
OR show all categories and all sub level
- don't show empty categories or show

This contrib adjustment was made, because I can't have all categories with ALL sublevel opened, it's to much,
but I want to have them opened till Level 1.


Installation:

if you want to show other then Maincategorie + firstsubcategorie

open catalog/includes/boxes/all_categories.php (out of this upload)

Find $stoplevel = 1;

EDIT
if you want to show just the Maincategorie set $stoplevel = 0
if you want to show Maincategorie + subcategorie set $stoplevel = 1
if you want to show Maincategorie + subcategorie + subsubcategorie set $stoplevel = 2
if you want to show Maincategorie + subcategorie + subsubcategorie + subsubsubcategorie set $stoplevel = 3 etc.
if you want to show Maincategories and all sub's unlimited set $stoplevel = -1


Upload catalog/includes/boxes/all_categories.php
Upload catalog/images/pointer_blue.gif
Upload catalog/images/pointer_blue_light.gif


Edit catalog/includes/column_left.php (or if categorie box is on the right site the column_right.php)
FIND
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');

Replace with
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'all_categories.php');

If you don't want the delivered images, replace them with your own in catalog/images.

If you don't like images in front
Edit all_categories.php

FIND $catpic = 1;
and set to 0 if you want to have the OSC Standard "->" behind categories with subs.


IF you want the activated categorie marked with ' >' in front of the catname
Edit all_categories.php
Find
$activatedmark = 0;
and set it to $activatedmark = 1;


If you'll need the removed link to current category then
Edit all_categories.php
find $linkactivated = 0
and set $linkactivated = 1

If you want to show empty categories
Edit all_categories.php
find $showempty = 0
and set to $showempty = 1


That's it.
Have fun.
