Display sub-sub-categories

[lesliekirk]

Is there a way to display the sub-sub-categories as part of the subcategory_listing for the CTGY Page template? I have a Toolkit snippet version but it needs to be converted.

 <!-- BOF Sub Sub Top Links -->
      <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="parentcat|pccount" />
      <!-- check for parent cats //-->
      <!-- check for 1st level subcats //-->
      <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="subcat|ccount|g.Category_Code" />
      <mvt:if expr="ccount GT 0">
<div class="subcategory-listing col-md-12 container-fluid clearfix">
               <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="sub_categories">
                <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12 subcategory-wrapper">
                     <mvt:if expr="g.Category_Code EQ l.settings:sub_category:code"> <a href="&mvt:category:link;#&mvt:sub_category:code;">&mvt:sub_category:name;</a>
            <mvt:else>
              <a href="&mvt:category:link;#&mvt:sub_category:code;"><b>&mvt:sub_category:name;</b></a><br />
          </mvt:if>
          <!-- check for 2nd level subcats //-->
          <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="subcat2|ccount2|l.all_settings:sub_category:code" />
          <mvt:if expr="ccount2 GT 0">
            <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category2" array="sub_categories2">
              <mvt:if expr="g.Category_Code EQ l.settings:sub_category2:code">&mvt:sub_category2:name;<br />
                <mvt:else>
                <div style="padding-left:5px;">
                 <a href="/&mvta:category:code;.html#&mvt:sub_category2:code;">&mvt:sub_category2:name;</a>
                </div>
              </mvt:if>
            </mvt:foreach>
           </mvt:if>
                </div>

            </mvt:foreach>
</div>

          </mvt:if>

This:

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( l.settings:category:code.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
 <mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="CategoryList_Load_Parent( l.settings:current_category:id, l.settings:sub_sub_cat )" /> 

 <mvt:foreach iterator="this_cat" array="sub_sub_cat">
   &mvt:this_cat:etc;

</mvt:foreach>

within the sub_cat foreach will do it.

I'm wondering how that plays with the CTGY subcategory_listing. I'm wanting to add it where the bold red is at. (I know what is there is wrong, it's just sort of a placeholder for me)

    <mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="cattree_category">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:cattree_category:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
        <mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcats, l.settings:cattree_category, -1)" />
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcat_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcats)" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcats GT 0 OR l.settings:category_listing:products_on_page_count GT 1">
    <hr class="border--secondary h-nm">

        <mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcats GT 0">
          <section style="padding: 2.625rem 0.75rem; text-align:center; width: 60%; margin: 0 auto;">
            <nav class="cmp-subcategories inline-list secondary-font">
                <ul>
                    <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="subcats">
                        <li>
                            <a href="&mvte:sub_category:link;">&mvte:sub_category:name;</a>
<ul>
                              <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_sub_category" array="subcats">
                              <li><a href="&mvte:sub_sub_category:link;">&mvte:sub_sub_category:name;</a></li>
                                  </mvt:foreach>
                          </ul>
                            <!-- // sub-sub-cat -->
                        </li>
                    </mvt:foreach>
                </ul>
            </nav>
          </section>
            <!-- end .cmp-subcategories -->
        </mvt:if>


    <!-- end .cmp-subcategories-filtering -->
</mvt:if>

Or does the "default" code have to be scrapped for something from scratch? Sigh...

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Yes, that's basically where the code I wrote should go. Just make sure you name the array and iterator different from the sub-categories and you'll be fine. You also add a sub-sub-sub-cat if you want...essentially creating a complete category tree. Note: this will, of course, add to processing time.

LOL - so I tried this

<mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="cattree_category">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:cattree_category:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
        <mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcats, l.settings:cattree_category, -1)" />
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcat_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcats)" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcats GT 0 OR l.settings:category_listing:products_on_page_count GT 1">
    <hr class="border--secondary h-nm">

        <mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcats GT 0">
          <section style="padding: 2.625rem 0.75rem; text-align:center; width: 60%; margin: 0 auto;">
            <nav class="cmp-subcategories inline-list secondary-font">
                <ul>
                    <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category" array="subcats">
                        <li>
                            <a href="&mvte:sub_category:link;">&mvte:sub_category:name;</a>

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( l.settings:category:code.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
 <mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="CategoryList_Load_Parent( l.settings:current_category:id, l.settings:subsubcats )" />     

                            <ul>
                              <mvt:foreach iterator="sub_sub_category" array="subsubcats">
                              <li><a href="&mvte:sub_sub_category:link;">&mvte:sub_sub_category:name;</a></li>
                                  </mvt:foreach>
                          </ul>
                            <!-- // sub-sub-cat -->
                        </li>
                    </mvt:foreach>
                </ul>
            </nav>
          </section>
            <!-- end .cmp-subcategories -->
        </mvt:if>






    <!-- end .cmp-subcategories-filtering -->
</mvt:if>

What it gave me was

A
A B C D
B
A B C D
C
A B C D
D
A B C D

I think I didn't do it right

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

partially my fault

l.settings:category:code.Category_Code

Should be whatever the current parent category code is. in your case that'd be l.settings:sub_category:code...although you might not even need that line as you should check to see if l.settings:sub_category:id is available and just use that in the next line.

[lesliekirk]

Bill's solutions are so much simpler and shorter...is that because his module did all the "heavy lifting" in the background?

Obviously, I did that wrong too. Now I get EVERY parent category listed below the subcategory name (&mvte:sub_category:name;)

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcat_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcats)" />

if that's the actual code you are using it still has the typo :
l.settings:sub_category:code.Category_Code

Yes, that's the exact code I'm trying to use. Color me confused, but I don't know what your typo is...

Well, that didn't work. I produced somewhat similar results as previously mentioned. This time the instead of having the 4 subcategories with all of the parent categories listed below each one, now I have one subcategory with the parent categories followed by 3 more "groups" of the parent categories.

It's truly not wanting to load the sub sub categories.

Leslie, you mean something like this?

It's a bit different than assigning the products to the category. Take a look at this link. It was built with the EmporiumPlus Toolkit.

You may need to:

#1 NULL the l.settings:sub_cat:id, l.settings:sub_sub_cat:id, and l.settings:subsubcats 's before each loop
#2 Wrap in a conditional for l.setting:subsubcats ISNOT NULL.

(it's a context issue, as I've used this dozens of times, but it's not something that 'drop in' code would suffice. and by default, doing this as a module call would NULL the previous values
