v4.0.x feature listings see in parent category

[hel68c +]

Hi,

I installed the feature_listings function in the template browse.tpl and I would like to see only the Featured ads in all main category and subcategory.

With this code, I only see feature Ads in their category.

feature_listings_horizontal number=4 cat=$sec

I would like to see in each main categories, all featured ads including those in the sub-category

e.g.
In The main category Arts & Crafts, I would like to see all Featured Ads that are in their subcategory, Drawings, Paintings, Original Arts, Accessories, Sculpting.

Arts & Crafts --> Drawings
                  Paintings --> Original Arts
                                Accessories
                  Sculpting

Serge,

In a v4.0.8 installation, css_featured_listings_horizontal is not part of the standard 68 classified plugins. Is this a third party plugin or one that you made? The one that does come with 4.1.x is css_featured. (I also don't know if that is backward compatible)

I don't believe that the variable $sec is available in the browse.tpl template file in v4.x installations.

Hi Mike,

The variable $sec is working fine with css_feature_listings "I made the change in category.php" but like I mention, it only display the Feature Ads in their category.

Do you have any advice on how?

I tried function.feature_listings_horizontal.php version 4.1.2 and am unable to display feature Ads in their parent category.

You can see this page for parameters included:
Feature Listings Horizontal - 68 Classifieds

The category is not one included in the plugin.

I understand that the category is not included in the plug in. I took at the tips & tricks from the 68classifieds Blog Featured listings by category.


I'm only asking if anyone has an idea of how to display all the ads in a main category and sub-categories from this plug in.

I just upgraded to the new version 4.1.6 and I am a little apprehensive about the conversion of all the changes I've made to version 4.08.

Hi,

I'm trying to get all the subcategory id from the module feature_listing_horizontal. I tried the code below and I only get one category. When I print_r $options['arr_childs'] in feature_listings_horizontal.php it display "Array ( [0] => 81 )".

When I print_r $options['arr_childs'] in category.php it display "Array ( [0] => 81 [1] => 82 [2] => 83 [3] => 129 [4] => 134 [5] => 228 [6] => 229 [7] => 252 [8] => 266 [9] => 271 [10] => 305 [11] => 332 [12] => 84 [13] => 227 )"

Do you know how to get all subcategory like category.php or how can I transfer the variable $options['arr_childs'] from category.php to feature_listings_horizontal.php?

Thanks

PHP Code:

 feature_listings_horizontal.php

            $slug=$_GET['cat'];
            $cat=$Categories->getCategoryBySlug($slug);

            $sec=$cat['id'];

            $arr_childs = array($sec);

            $Categories->get_ids($arr_childs);
            $options['arr_childs']=$arr_childs;

Why don't you try to take the relvant code out of category.php and use it in the plugin. Its the only thing I can think of.

that's what I did but despite several attempts, I can not have the subcategories ID.
