<?php $helper = $this->helper('catalog/category') ?>

I just want to display category and subcategory on left side bar, i have a code that work according to my need but this code only display name of the category it didn't get url for a particular category name.
code :-
<?php
$_categories = Mage::getBlockSingleton('catalog/navigation');
foreach ($_categories->getStoreCategories() as $_category) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$category->load($_category->getId());
$subcategories = explode(',', $category->getChildren());
?>
<?php
foreach ($subcategories as $subcategoryId) {
$category->load($subcategoryId);
echo '<li>' . $category->getName() . '</li>';
}
?>
<?php
}
?>
It only display name for each subcategory but can't linked it with particular url for each sub category properly. suggest me where i did mistake.
Instead of using category object you need to load the subcategory again ex:
<?php
foreach ($subcategories as $subcategoryId) {
//$category->load($subcategoryId); instead
$subcategory = Mage::getModel("catalog/category")->load($subcategoryId);
echo '<li>' . $subcategory->getName() . '</li>';
}
?>
Second and good method as follows :
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
Please note that you may need to tweak some bit of code above.
Hope this helps.
I have this kind of categories in magenta:
-MotoCross
->Parts1 ->sub-parts
->Parts2 ->sub-parts
->Parts3 ->sub-parts
-Quad
->Parts1 ->sub-parts
->Parts2 ->sub-parts
->Parts3 ->sub-parts
For now i have MotoCross and Quad printed on screen and their child (parts1,2,3) but I would like to have Part1 and them sub parts printed on screen.
I don't know how to do, see my code bellow:
---------------------------EDIT---------------------------
Now I have the current category categories, but i don't know how two have current category categories categories. You're still here ? :P
<?php
$object = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation();
$actualCategoryId = $object->getCurrentCategory()->getId();
$actualCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($actualCategoryId);
$subCategories = explode(',', $actualCategory->getChildren());
?>
<div id="categories_list">
<ol>
<?php
foreach ( $subCategories as $subCategoryId )
{
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategoryId);
if ( $category->getIsActive() )
{ ?>
<li class="second_level_cat">
<?php
echo ''.$category->getName().' ';
?>
</li>
<?php
}
}
?>
</ol>
</div>
Thanks for your help.
It's something like this.
<div id="categories_list">
<ol>
<?PHP foreach ($catIds as $cid): ?>
<?PHP $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cid); ?>
<?PHP if($_category->getLevel() == 2 ) : ?>
<li class="second_level_cat">
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>"<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($_category)): ?> class="current"<?php endif; ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()) ?></a>
</li>
<?php
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$childrens = $cat->getChildren();
if($childrens)
{
$childs=explode(",",$childrens);
foreach($childs as $child){
$cat_child = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($child);
?>
<li class="third_level_cat">
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($cat_child) ?>"<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($cat_child)): ?> class="current"<?php endif; ?>><?php echo ucfirst(strtolower($this->htmlEscape($cat_child->getName()))) ?></a>
</li>
<?php
}
}
?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ol>
</div>
Here is code
$cats = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(2)->getAllChildren(); // 2 = Root Category
$catIds = explode(',',$cats);
Select Category :
<select id="_cid" name="_cid">
<?PHP foreach ($catIds as $cid){ ?>
<?PHP $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cid); ?>
<?PHP if($_category->getLevel() == 3 ) { ?>
<option value="<?PHP echo $_category->getId() ?>"> <?PHP echo $_category->getName() ?></option>
<?PHP } ?>
<?PHP if($_category->getLevel() == 4 ) { ?>
<option value="<?PHP echo $_category->getId() ?>"> <?PHP echo $_category->getName() ?></option>
<?PHP } ?>
<?PHP } ?>
</select>
I'm having a problem that's been in some way posted here before but never for this case. Usually this error occurs in App.php but for me it's occurring in /httpdocs/app/design/frontend/default/theme/template/catalog/category/view.phtml on line 42 which I've indicated below.
Does anyone have any idea on the fix for this? I'm a bit at a loss.

Well, that error means that there is no block named catalog.leftnav on the page, so you should check your layouts. And actually this way of checking class is bad since it leads to such errors. Also there will be a problem, if some extension will rewrite Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation class.
So I'm not sure why do you want to check the class of that block, but if you really need it, I would suggest something less risky and rewrite-friendly:
if ($block = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('catalog.leftnav') && $block instanceof Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation) {
...
}
I'm using Joomla 3.x and create an article override. It works fine for some articles. But when I apply to another article, inside a single article menu item, it not work.

UPDATE 2
I discovered one thing: if the article is associated with a menu item (type:Category List), the Alternative Layout works. But when the article is associated a menu item (type:Single Article), the Alternative Layout does not work. How do the Alternative Layout function in both cases?
SOLVED!
I Create a custom menu item type.

<?php if ($open && $potential): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($subcategory->getChildrenCategories() as $subsubcategory): ?>
<?php $subsubCat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subsubcategory); ?>
<?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($subsubCat) ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($subsubCat); ?>" <?php if($open) { echo ' class="final"'; } ?>><?php echo $subsubCat->getName(); ?> (<?php echo $subsubCat->getProductCount(); ?>)</a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
This line always returns true
<?php $potential = $_category->hasChildren(); ?>
And I know that the category has children.
Can anyone suggest why this doesn't work?
This is how I place the phtml in the page:
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.vertnav" template="catalog/navigation/vert_nav.phtml" before="-" />
</reference>
Magento version 1.5.1.0
Try using $_category->getChildren() (instead of $_category->getChildrenCategories() )
Have an easy day,
Pesach
You might also like to try this,
foreach ($_category->getCategories($_category) as $subcategory):
getCategories() is a more complex form but it allows you more control too. By specifying a recursion level you can retrieve not just the children but grand-children too...
Try with this code,
$this->getCurrentCategory()->getChildrenCategories()
Hope this helps
<?php $helper = $this->helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $categories = $this->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php foreach($categories as $category): ?>
<?php $subcategories = $category->getChildren() ?>
<?php foreach($subcategories as $subcategory): ?>
<?php $subsubcategories = $subcategory->getChildren() ?>
<?php foreach($subsubcategories as $subsubcategory): ?>
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach subsubcategories -->
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach subcategories -->
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach categories -->
This is the basic idea behind extracting children categories.
So accordingly you can work on it.
