Hi there,

I would like to add a new menu item as like “All Categories” with a specified Joomshopping Category.
If I go and check the Menu Item Type of “All Categories” it is totally blinded so I can reproduce it with batch command but I cannot change it. Very strange!

I was thinking of that caused by an JA or Joomshopping update or the different joomla version (2.5 vs. 3.1.2) but have checked it in your builder and there is totally the same emptiness.>:(:-[

Simply it is impossible to choose Menu Item Type JoomShopping/Categories!>:(
Any of the Menu Item Types of JoomShopping chosen it always results Products.
While it is the same problem at the demo 2.5 and my 3.2.1 Joomla we can eliminate Joomla.
JoomShopping is faulty.
Please contact them to repair it or please choose an other ecommerce system.
There are many more (mostly bad too) As far as it just seems to be free while if you really want to use it* then you must pay them.

*e.g. frontend shop editing

I believe the problem is many months old.

I use it a lot and haven’t found it to be. Difficult? – yes. Has some querks? – yes. But it works well and serves well.

If you pick off Categories, it may say Products but it will return categories. Make sure you choose categories

it WILL show ‘products’ then pick off ‘ALL’ in show tab

save it and go to the front end. It will be all the categories. How you’ve set up the backend may effect this. I don’t know your config. You may also have a cache problem. Don’t use cache with a shopping cart.

But I know it works. If you post up some screenshots maybe I can help – I don’t know many other people on here who know JS (apart from the JA devs) who have used it as much as me!! I’ll try to help if I can.

Gruss

Hi Swissa,

Thank for your attention!
I would like to make a page containing JS Subcategories and looking the same way as like the Demo All Categories page.

Menu Item Type
I cannot choose the JoomShopping/Categories …or it seems I can do but it will show finally “PRODUCTS” or remains empty …ok If I choose it then I go for the next setting below:

SHOW
If I choose ALL it shows only the parent (main) JS categories.
If I choose “Category or Manufacturer or Static page” and give the Category ID it has different layout (totally ugly bad)
The layout is based on TABLES(OMG!!!) and not divs as like at Demo All Categories page.

<div class="jshop_list_category">
<table class="jshop list_category">
<tbody><tr> <td class="jshop_categ" width="50%">
<table class="category">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="image">
<a href="xxx"><img class="jshop_img" src="xxx" alt="xxx" title="xxx"></a>
</td>
...
</tr>
</tbody></table>
...
</div>

I would need this:
<div class="jshop">

<div class="jshop_list_category">
<div class="jshop">
<div class="cat-row"> <div class="jshop_categ" style="width: 50%;">
<div class="category clearfix">
<div class="cat-image">
<a href="yyy"><img class="jshop_img" src="yyy" alt="yyy" title="yyy"></a>
</div>
<div class="cat-info">
<a class="product_link" href="yyy">yyy</a>
<p class="category_short_description">yyy.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
...

Moreover I have serious doubt of tables at responsitivy :((

I think my needs are elemental… nothing extra. Let me show a page of JS category or subcategory.
Not a big bang!

It looks like Fixel is using the old non responsive table template from JS for the categories.

I obviously don’t need to tell you to do a backup of the file before overwriting them / replacing them.

I think you need to change yourdomain.com/components/com_jshopping/templates/fixel/category/category_default.php

Current

<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die(); ?><div class="jshop">
<h1><?php print $this->category->name?></h1>
<?php print $this->category->description?>

<div class="jshop_list_category">
<?php if (count($this->categories)){ ?>
<table class = "jshop list_category">
<?php foreach($this->categories as $k=>$category){?>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row==0) print "<tr>"; ?>
<td class="jshop_categ" width="<?php print (100/$this->count_category_to_row)?>%">
<table class = "category">
<tr>
<td class="image">
<a href = "<?php print $category->category_link;?>"><img class="jshop_img" src="<?php print $this->image_category_path;?>/<?php if ($category->category_image) print $category->category_image; else print $this->noimage;?>" alt="<?php print htmlspecialchars($category->name)?>" title="<?php print htmlspecialchars($category->name)?>" /></a>
</td>
<td>
<a class = "product_link" href = "<?php print $category->category_link?>"><?php print $category->name?></a>
<p class = "category_short_description"><?php print $category->short_description?></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row==$this->count_category_to_row-1) print '</tr>'; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row!=$this->count_category_to_row-1) print '</tr>'; ?>
</table>
<?php }?>
</div>
<?php include(dirname(__FILE__)."/products.php");?>
</div>

You can try using the following code – you may have to do some css work – I haven’t tested it to be honest.

<div class="jshop"><h1><?php print $this->category->name?></h1>
<?php print $this->category->description?>

<div class="jshop_list_category">

<?php if (count($this->categories)){ ?>
<div class = "jshop list_category">
<?php foreach($this->categories as $k=>$category){?>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row==0) print "<div>"; ?>
<div class="jshop_categ width<?php print round(100/$this->count_category_to_row, 0)?>">

<div class = "category">
<div class="image">
<a href = "<?php print $category->category_link;?>"><img class="jshop_img" src="<?php print $this->image_category_path;?>/<?php if ($category->category_image) print $category->category_image; else print $this->noimage;?>" alt="<?php print htmlspecialchars($category->name)?>" title="<?php print htmlspecialchars($category->name)?>" /></a>
</div>
<div>
<a class = "product_link" href = "<?php print $category->category_link?>"><?php print $category->name?></a>
<p class = "category_short_description"><?php print $category->short_description?></p>
</div>
</div>

</div>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row==$this->count_category_to_row-1) print '</div>'; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($k%$this->count_category_to_row!=$this->count_category_to_row-1) print '</div>'; ?>
</div>
<?php }?>

</div>
<?php include(dirname(__FILE__)."/products.php");?>
</div>

Hope that helps you. Remember to backup the original file/rename it/save it etc. 😉

Thank you Swissa,
:(( nothing changed.
Just checked all the php files there and the default template path too:
yourdomain.com/components/com_jshopping/templates/default/category/…
but it seems that is coded elsewhere.

In yourdomain/administrator/index.php?option=com_jshopping&controller=config&task=general are you picking ‘fixel’ as the template?

Did you try with above suggestion from Swissa?

Hi Saguaros,
I tried Swissa’s suggestion but it did not work. I’m still unable to customize the Categories page of Joomshopping. I would like to get the same layout as the demo’s All-Gateries page, but listing sub-categories.

Any suggestions?

Hi sobe,

I just tried to check with default template of JomShopping but seems that it doesn’t support to show subcategories. You should go to Jomshopping forum to raise the same question, developer there will help you more.

Hi Saguaros,
Beyond sub-categories, is one even allowed to specify certain main-categories to be shown? As is, no matter what main-category ID is defined in the “Category ID” section, the result is always the same (it shows all categories, instead of the ones defined).
