Subcategory items view? was created by lipatovroman

Hi!
We have parent category and several child categories with items.

Now, if we enabled displaying of child categories and their items it looks like:

That is, first the category, then the subcategories and after the elements.

Is it possible to displays items for each subcategory separately?

Thanks.

Hello

if you show all items then you can use the FAQ template ... but better avoid this

Instead for proper pagination support and more display flexibility
use blog template (or a duplication of it (use the duplication button in templates management))

Explanation:
blog layout has 2 parameters to add a header for every sub-category and include category title
- you can add enable it (see picture)

but also set :
Items order (1st level order) to be their category,
(2nd level order can be anything e.g. title)

if you do not do the above then it will not work !

Hello

Also if you want your sub-category header to show more than just the category title
then find this code inside
category_items(_html5).php

Code:

	<?php echo $intro_catblock ?
		'<li class="intro_catblock">'
			.($intro_catblock_title && @$globalcats[$item->rel_catid] ? $globalcats[$item->rel_catid]->title : '').
		'</li>' : ''; ?>

and the extra information that you need e.g. add category description

Code:

	<?php echo $intro_catblock ?
		'<li class="intro_catblock">'
			.($intro_catblock_title && @$globalcats[$item->rel_catid] ? $globalcats[$item->rel_catid]->title : '').
			.'<div class="alert alert-info">'  . $globalcats[$item->rel_catid]->description . '</div>' .
		'</li>' : ''; ?>
