Display all ads and their category

[hel68c]

I'm trying to display all ads in a category and its subcategory.

In the default function getSubCategories, when we select a category, it only display the ads listings in that category. I would like to display all ads in that category and sub category. Like advanced search, if we select category we get the listings in that category and sub category but it does not display at the top the category and sub category name.

I made change In function getSubCategories and it display all ads in category and subcategory but not display category name and subcategory name

PHP Code:

I add this line -->     $cat_id=$rs['id'];
I add this line -->     $type_id="&type=$cat_id";
                    $rs['start_link']='<a href="category.php?cat='.$slug.'">'; 

I add this line --> $rs['start_link']='<a href="searchresults.php?='.$type_id.'&Submit=Search">'; 


Sorry for my long explanation but I'm not very well in English!

Do you know where I have to change the code to have this display?

I think you need to edit the category.php file.

Toward the bottom find this:
$options['section']=$sec;

Then replace with:
$arr_childs = array($sec);
$Categories->get_ids($arr_childs);
$options['arr_childs']=$arr_childs;

Exactly what I need,

Thank you Eric!

For some reason this code does not work for me at all....

I am using this code:

Open category.php and locate:
$options['section']=$sec;

Replace it with:
$arr_childs = array((int)$sec);
$Categories->get_ids($arr_childs);
$options['arr_childs']=$arr_childs;

from How to show listings in sub-categories?

But this code causes all listings on my entire site to show up on both the Main Categories page and the Parent Category pages

You may need to check for the $sec variable. Try this:

PHP Code:

if($sec<>'') {
$arr_childs = array($sec);
$Categories->get_ids($arr_childs);
$options['arr_childs']=$arr_childs;
}

this code gets the same results... all ads show up under main and parent category pages.

is this code working as intended for anyone else? or are others getting similar results?
