Categories and sub categories display

Hi David,

There is no option for this at the moment. As far as showing and hiding subcategories and categories, you could probably write some custom CSS (which you could add to the “Custom CSS” box for your catalog) that would allow you to achieve this.

The CSS class for the categories is: “.prod-cat-sidebar-category”
The CSS class for the sub-categories is: “.prod-cat-sidebar-subcategory”

So, for example, you could hide all category labels and leave the sub-category labels by putting the following:

.prod-cat-sidebar-category {
display: none;
}

Hi David,

1) Thanks for the feature suggestion. This isn’t something that we have in our plans at the moment, but maybe in the future.

2) This isn’t possible right now, but perhaps we could look into adding a “clear all” button in a future update.

3) This should definitely be possible.

4) You can re-arrange the order within a specific category by going to the “Categories” tab, clicking on the category you want and then using the drag-and-drop “Products in Category” section to order the products.

5) At the moment, if you want to add a link in a custom field, your best bet is to create a “Short Text” type custom field and then put in the HTML link (i.e. Link text) as the value for that custom field for a product. We’re looking into adding a link custom field type in a future update.

Hi David,

6) There is a “UPCP Search Bar” widget included with this plugin. You could maybe take a look at the code for that to see if you could use it in your custom code. Alternatively, you could add your custom code to the catalog sidebar and then use CSS to hide the rest of the elements in the sidebar.

7) The catalog will automatically display up to four columns based on the space available. While it does look in your screenshot like there is space for a fourth column, if it’s staying at three, it means there isn’t quite enough space. You could try reducing the width of the thumbnails using the “Thumbnail” area of the “Styling” tab.

Hi David,

8) I just had a look at your site and all the views still work, it’s just that they’re all appearing under the sidebar now, instead of to the right of it. I looked at the code and saw the following styling for the .prod-cat-inner CSS class:

.prod-cat-inner {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 74%;
width: 100%;
}

The main catalog area has been assigned a width of 100%, which is overwriting the 74% that it should be. Did you add this to the Custom CSS or somewhere else? If so, you need to remove where you make it 100%. If you can’t find where you might have made the change, you could try putting the following at the bottom of your Custom CSS:

.prod-cat-inner {
width: 74% !important;
}

While it would be much better to find and remove the other piece of code, this should still do it.

9) I’m not sure I know exactly what you mean. The category headings usually only appear if you add a whole category to your catalog, as opposed to individual products. The filtering doesn’t affect the display of these headings.

10) I just did a few test searches on your site – using the search box in the sidebar of the catalog – and the results were being displayed within one or two seconds for all the searches I tried. Is it longer on your end? Also, your catalog page is loading quickly for me.

11) Did you input a value for the “Updating Results Label” setting? It is found in the “Catalogue” column of the “Labelling” area of the “Options” tab.

12) For this one, you’d have to use the translation files (i.e. the “.mo” and “.po” files) at the moment, as we don’t have it in there as a labelling option. I’ll check to see if we can add that in an update in the near future.

Hi David,

8) This is very strange behaviour as there’s no setting or options for this. Are you setting custom links for your products (using the “Product Link” field when creating or editing a product)?

9) The title/heading you’re talking about is dynamically generated based on the URL parameters you’re using for filtering. Any time you start further filtering, it removes the heading because you are no longer looking at exactly just the category you described in your URL parameters. As far as I know, it’s always been this way, and is the intended behaviour.

11) There must be an issue then with the way this specific label option saves, for some reason. We’ll take a look at it and add the fix in a future update.

13) All sidebar settings are found in the “Sidebar” area of the “Styling” tab. And you can use the “Sub-Category Style” setting in the “Basic” area of the “Options” tab to choose hierarchical.

Merci dgpartner pour avoir posé la question à Etoile Web. J’ai le même problème présentement avec mon catalogue depuis la mise à jour. Je suis l’évolution de vos tests.

Mais je crois que pour simplifier je vais refaire les catalogues.
On lâche pas! 🙂
