Show number of products in a category.

[Scargo]

Hello miriame,

Is working. I test it again on VM default template com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php.
Be sure that you have place these two lines of code after line 106 (<?php echo $category->category_name ?>) and before </br>. The two lines:

Code Select Expand

<?php $categoryModelkaraoke= VmModel::getModel('category');
echo $categoryModelkaraoke->countProducts($category->virtuemart_category_id ); ?>

All the children categories shows correctly the number of products beside name e.g. Children Category1 20 Children Category2 10, etc.

This code above is for category view!

Also you can place that two lines of code in default_categories.php under VM frontpage template (com_virtuemart\views\virtuemart\tmpl\default_categories.php) after line 57 and also works great if you want your master categories shows that number of products (not for children categories product number).

If you want it for category module (mod_virtuemart_category) just let me know!

Thanks. Hope it helps you out.

Regards,

BL

What you mean? It offers a foldable category tree in unlimited depth.
If you want to have the parent categories as links, its in the PRO version

It's ok, but my financial situation allows just the free versions now. It's not problem. This site the just for fun category. I think it's will be great with simple solutins.
Thanks for your help, i saved it for the future use.

Ok will try to be more precise ...

I have caterogies build that way : 

Main  -- Inkjet (0)
Sub Main -- Brother (0)
Sub Brother -- MFC series (0)
Sub MFC series -- MFC 240 (4)

For the product count i have a number only on MFC-240 category ... all the other 3 up level i have 0 ...

Is it clear that way ??

Same Problem here....
using the override from webnuts...http://www.web-nut.de/webnut-blog/geschreibsel/16-virtuemart-2-category-module-modifizieren.html#.UaxnEpzdXRY

Any suggestion hot to modify the code so that ALL products in Main Category is visible (including products from Sub-Categories) ?

[Siberex]

Same problem. Pleeeease help!

Here is what i did to change the mod_virtuemart_category to show the number of products in the category. It is not perfect because it doesn't count the total number of products in the child categories yet
Maybe someone can help me out with that. Anyway, this should be a standard feature in VM, in my opinion.

First of all copy the file in /modules/mod_virtuemart_category/tmpl/default.php to /templates/*your template name*/mod_virtuemart_category/default.php to make an override, if it is not allready there.

Then edit the file and search for "$cattext = $category->category_name;" and replace it with "$cattext = $category->category_name. ' ('.$categoryModel->countProducts($category->virtuemart_category_id ).')';"

then search for "$cattext = $child->category_name;" and replace it with "$cattext = $child->category_name. ' ('.$categoryModel->countProducts($child->virtuemart_category_id ).')';"

Save the file and that's it, the number of products will show up next to the category name between brackets.

[dirk66]

ok, this is how i solved the problem showing the total number of product in a category with child categories (use the same file as explained in my previous post):

<?php foreach ($categories as $category) {
       $active_menu = 'class="VmClose"';
      $caturl = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id='.$category->virtuemart_category_id);
            $cattotal = 0;
      foreach ($category->childs as $child) {

      $cattotal = $cattotal + $categoryModel->countProducts($child->virtuemart_category_id );}
      //$cattext = $category->category_name. ' ('.$categoryModel->countProducts($category->virtuemart_category_id ).')';
      $cattext = $category->category_name. ' ('.$cattotal.')';
      //if ($active_category_id == $category->virtuemart_category_id) $active_menu = 'class="active"';
      if (in_array( $category->virtuemart_category_id, $parentCategories)) $active_menu = 'class="VmOpen"';

      ?>

i hope this helps.
