Hi all,
I am currently evaluating CS-Cart using the 60 day trial on my local test server, however I seam to have run into a snag, I am trying to mimick my current site’s menu (accordion style menu), but I cannot get my old menu system to work, I am currently using opencube’s quick menu’s, the code is as follows:
```php
```
I tried altering the category_trees.tpl for the skin I was using, this has sort of worked but not quite, i.e. I can get it to show the list of parent categories, but when I click on them it won't drop down and show the sub cats, or recognise any are there to put the "plus" image at the end of the parent name...but if i click a link in the site and go to the sub cat, the parent opens up correctly and shows the sub cats..... :cry:
The code i tried using is:
```php
{* $Id: categories_tree.tpl 7780 2009-08-04 08:59:41Z zeke $ *}
{assign var="cc_id" value=$smarty.request.category_id|default:$smarty.session.current_category_id}
{foreach from=$categories item=category key=cat_key name="categories"}
{if $category.level == "0"}
{if $ul_subcategories == "started"}
{assign var="ul_subcategories" value=""}
{/if}
{$category.category}
{else}
{if $ul_subcategories != "started"}
{/if}
{if $smarty.foreach.categories.last && $ul_subcategories == "started"}
{/if}
{/foreach}
```
If I can get over this problem I think i'm onto a winner to replace my jShop cart system, but I can't get this to work.
Regards
Dan
There is a free accordion menu add-on available in the forums:

It may need a little work for version 2.0.12 but it would be good starting point.

I did it for a client like this:
/skins/YOUR_SKIN /customer/blocks/categories_emenu.tpl:
```php
{* $Id: categories_emenu.tpl 6986 $ }
{ * block-description:emenu **}
{include file="views/categories/components/menu_items.tpl" items=$items separated=true submenu=false}
```
skins/*YOUR_SKIN*/customer/views/categories/components/menu_items.tpl:
```php
{* $Id: menu_items.tpl $ *}
{strip}
{assign var="foreach_name" value="cats_$cid"}
{foreach from=$items item="category" name=$foreach_name}
{if $category.subcategories}
{$category.category}{else}{/if}
{if $category.subcategories}
{include file="views/categories/components/menu_items.tpl" items=$category.subcategories separated=true submenu=true cid=$category.category_id}
{/if}
{if $category.subcategories}{else}{$category.category} {/if}
{if $category.subcategories}
{else}{/if}
{/foreach}
{/strip}
```
add this to scripts:
```php
{script src="js/accordion.js"}
```
Create file js/accordion.js and put following contents:
```php
$(document).ready(function(){
$("dd:not(:first)").hide();
$("dt a").click(function(){
$("dd:visible").slideUp("slow");
$(this).parent().next().slideDown("slow");
return false;
});
});
```
Pretty simple way to implement it, although I'm sure there are more efficient ways.

How can I get this code to display the cats in columns of 10 per column?
```php
{* $Id: menu_items.tpl 6971 2009-03-05 09:28:18Z zeke $ *}
{strip}
{assign var=“foreach_name” value=“cats_$cid”}
{foreach from=$items item=“category” name=$foreach_name}
{if $category.subcategories}
{include file="views/categories/components/menu_items.tpl" items=$category.subcategories separated=true submenu=true cid=$category.category_id}
{/if}
{$category.category}
{if $separated && !$smarty.foreach.$foreach_name.last}
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/strip}
```
