{$cat.category}

{/foreach}
{/if}






thank you for assistance :wink:

If you enable the template debugger and visit a category. You can search for the category name and find the variable that outputs the current category.



When you find it you can echo the category like: {$variable.category}

how to display subcategories => Array (6) =>category ?

i have to test


[quote]

{foreach from=$categories item=“subcategory”}

{$subcategory.category}

{/foreach}

[/quote]



and the display is root category (array 7)



thx for the responses

no answer?



I put the question differently :



What is the syntax smarty to cross the array $categories to arrive at the data in $subcategories when I display the same category?



thx ! :smile:

Didn’t you want to display the CURRENT category?



{$category_data.category}

ok but I want to display all the attached categories and not only the selected category.

one should be done a {foreach} or {section} on the preceding or current category.

It allows to have the previous nearby categories when we show the last category.

exemple not correct :


[quote]

{if $subcategories}

{foreach from=$subcategories item=category}

{$category.category}



{/foreach}{else}

{foreach from=$category_data item=category}

{$category_data.category}



{/foreach}

{/if}

[/quote]



thx !:wink:

Have you looked at the categories_pages/categories_dtree.tpl templates?



I think it does just that.

Yes but it display the subcategory when I am in the current categorie and I want to display the parent category of the subcategory.



exemple :

categorie A

=> subcategorie B

item = 1

item = 2

item = 3

=> subcategorie C

item = 1

item = 2

item = 3



i want to display on sidebox the links of the subcategorie B + items when i have the shown articles of the categorie C.



undestand my request ?

a simple recall of the preceding category.



thx !
