List products in subcategories

[gba]

Dear VM pros!

I have i.e. following category hierarchie:
- Cat1
- - Cat1_1
- - - Cat1_1_1
- Cat2
...

On the browsepage I need to display all products not only i.e. of Cat1, but also of Cat1_1 and Cat1_1_1.

Do you have any idea how to achieve that?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Gerald

Hello all!

One month ago I posted about listing products in subcategories.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve that issue?

You did not get a response because the question is vague.

I have i.e. following category hierarchie:
- Cat1
- - Cat1_1
- - - Cat1_1_1
- Cat2
...

On the browsepage I need to display all products not only i.e. of Cat1, but also of Cat1_1 and Cat1_1_1.

In which browse page? When do you want to get products from these?

He wants to display products of child categories in parent category. This can be done with core hack. I'm sure a solution (for VM2) was posted on this forum at some point.

Another option is to assign products to parent categories. This plugin can do it automatically https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/auto-parent-categories-for-virtuemart-joomla-3-x.

there is also a switch in the products model for this ...

see around line 367

Code Select Expand

if ($virtuemart_category_id > 0) {
$joinCategory = TRUE;
if(true){
$where[] = ' `pc`.`virtuemart_category_id` = ' . $virtuemart_category_id;
} else {
/*GJC add subcat products*/
$catmodel = VmModel::getModel ('category');
$childcats = $catmodel->getChildCategoryList(1, $virtuemart_category_id,null, null, true);
$cats = $virtuemart_category_id;
foreach($childcats as $childcat){
$cats .= ','.$childcat->virtuemart_category_id;
}
$joinCategory = TRUE;
$where[] = ' `pc`.`virtuemart_category_id` IN ('.$cats.') ';
}
