I am using magento and i have this code in my left_nav.phtml
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories();?>
<!-- BEGIN SIDE-NAV-CATEGORY -->
<div class="side-nav-categories">
<div class="block-title">
<?php echo ('Categories');?>
<?php var_dump(get_class($this)); ?>
</div><!--block-title-->
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<!-- BEGIN BOX-CATEGORY -->
<div class="box-content box-category">
<ul>
<!-- Subcategory -->
<?php
//get the current category
$_cat = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation();
$currentCat = $_cat->getCurrentCategory();
//get the children of the current category
$subCats = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($currentCat->getId())->getChildren() ;
//get sub category ids
$subCatIds = explode(',',$subCats);
?>
<?php if (count($subCatIds) > 1): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($subCatIds as $subCatId): ?>
<?php $subCat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCatId); ?>
<?php if($subCat->getIsActive()): ?>
<li>
<?php //display category image
if($subCat->getImageUrl()): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $subCat->getImageUrl(); ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>
<a href="<?php echo $subCat->getUrl(); ?>">
<?php echo $subCat->getName(); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<!-- Subcategory-->
</ul>
</div><!--box-content box-category-->
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!--side-nav-categories-->
in the div class block-title it changes the title to search vehicle by category.
where can i find the code that defines block-title? so i can change the title to the root category name?

I have a file that is successfully looping through my categories and subcategories. I am successfully able to echo all the categories and their links
BUT
I do not understand why these (keywords and description) are not echoing
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->getKeywords()) ?>
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($this->getDescription()) ?>
The file is located here
app/design/frontend/mystoretheme/default/template/catalog/category/listofcats.phtml
Then im placing it on a block in a cms page {{block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.category" template="catalog/category/listofcats.phtml"}}
The goal is to be able to display each of the categories list of keywords and their descriptions within the same < li > and loop giving me a list like this
Category
Keywords
Description
Here is my code. I have omitted my attempts at keyword and description since they are not working.
<div class="block block-list block-categories">
<div id="block-categories" class="block-title active">
<strong><span>Categories </span></strong>
</div>
<div id="leftnav" class="block-content" style="display:block">
<?php $helper = $this->helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $categories = $this->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($categories) > 0): ?>
<ul id="leftnav-tree" class="level0">
<?php foreach($categories as $category): ?>
<li class="level0<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($category)): ?> active<?php endif; ?>">
<span><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($category->getName()) ?></span>
<?php //if ($this->isCategoryActive($category)): ?>
<?php $subcategories = $category->getChildren() ?>
<?php if (count($subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul id="leftnav-tree-<?php echo $category->getId() ?>" class="level1">
<?php foreach($subcategories as $subcategory): ?>
<li class="level1<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($subcategory)): ?> active<?php endif; ?>">
<?php echo $this->escapeHtml(trim($subcategory->getName(), '- ')) ?>
<?php $secondLevelSubcategories = $subcategory->getChildren() ?>
<?php if (count($secondLevelSubcategories ) > 0): ?>
<ul id="leftnav-tree-<?php echo $subcategory->getId() ?>" class="level2">
<?php foreach($secondLevelSubcategories as $secondLevelSubcategory ): ?>
<li class="level2<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($secondLevelSubcategory )): ?> active<?php endif; ?>">
<?php echo $this->escapeHtml(trim($secondLevelSubcategory ->getName(), '- ')) ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I have Magento with fishpig integration and Wordpress blog.
I can see magento products easy with this shortcode [product sku="skunumber"].
But I have a lot of trouble with categories, how can I display a Magento Category In WordPress article?
There is a shortcode, who can help me to do this Or do I need to code Term Collections?
Try these methods
To display all the Magento categories.
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
To Display Categories and Subcategories.
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

im using magento. This is the code that loads my left navigational bar. It loads the main categories into a ol. I want to also make it load the child categories within each li. Where I have put LOAD CHILD CATEGORIES HERE I would like to know the php code to fetch and display all the child categories of the above parent category. I have found several fixes but not knowing pHp very well has resulted in a series of errors.
/**
* Category left navigation
*
* #see Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation
*/
if (!Mage::registry('current_category')) {
//no current category selected so default to showing the Products category
$cur_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(51);
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$layer->setCurrentCategory($cur_category);
}else{
//current category selected so display the child categories for it
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$_category = $layer->getCurrentCategory();
$currentCategoryId= $_category->getId();
if($currentCategoryId == 306){
//best sellers is selected so show the Product category
$cur_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(51);
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$layer->setCurrentCategory($cur_category);
}
}
$_categories=$this->getCurrentChildCategories();
$_count = is_array($_categories)?count($_categories):$_categories->count();

So far the best I come up with, I know its not much
<ul class="subnav">
<li><a></a>
</ul>
I appreciate any help immensely
Check the following code
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
$_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories();
$currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ;
if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
Now $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() fetches all subcategories.
Thanks Chanz i used your code snippet and eventually came up with the following. Took a while cus im a little slow but you gave me what i needed. Much apreciated.

I know I can iterate over categories to get ids of product and load them in the view, but I would have liked to get a product collection as it is done currently in most categories/views.
in short how to get subcategory.
To get current category and its sub categories, you can try like this
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
</a>
<?php if ($currentCategory && $currentCategory->getId() == $_category->getId()): ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
<?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
You can follow this tutorial
I've looked around a lot and found lots about pulling in parent Id's and sub cat listings but this is slight different and I don't seem to able to find an answer, I'm not a PHP guru (yet)
so go easy on me. I've tried various things but I just end up with errors.
I have created a phtml template to display sub categories of a parent category in an inline link block below my main nav. I'm calling this template with a static block from the admin which is working fine, but the link block disappears when I navigate through to a subcategory page, obviously because this code calls sub cats of a parent but not while you are actually IN a sub cat. here's the code I'm using so far:
<?php if (!Mage::registry('current_category')) return ?>
<?php $_categories = $this->getCurrentChildCategories() ?>
<?php $_count = is_array($_categories)?count($_categories):$_categories->count(); ?>
<?php if($_count): ?>
<div class="category-products <?php echo Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->getCurrentCategory()->getName(); ?>">
<dl id="narrow-by-list2">
<dt></dt>
<dd>
<ol class="subcat_list">
<?php foreach ($_categories as $_category): ?>
<?php if($_category->getIsActive()): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>"<?php if ($this->isCategoryActive($_category)): ?> class="current"<?php endif; ?>><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName()) ?></a>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ol>
</dd>
</dl>
<script type="text/javascript">decorateDataList('narrow-by-list2')</script>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
any ideas as to how I can modify this so the list stays there while I'm actually viewing a sub cat?
Many thanks
After much looking around I finally stumbled on what I needed
Thanks MagikSwapna for your input it helped me understand things a little more
I eventually ended up with this
<div class="category-products <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('parent_cat_name')->toHtml() ?>">
<?php echo "<ol class='subcat_list'>"; ?>
<?php
$currentCat = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ( $currentCat->getParentId() == Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId() )
{
// current category is a toplevel category
$loadCategory = $currentCat;
}
else
{
// current category is a sub-(or subsub-, etc...)category of a toplevel category
// load the parent category of the current category
$loadCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($currentCat->getParentId());
// #TODO enhance for more nested category levels to display sub-categories
}
$subCategories = explode(',', $loadCategory->getChildren());
foreach ( $subCategories as $subCategoryId )
{
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategoryId);
if($cat->getIsActive())
{
if($crcat == $cat->getName()) //Check if current category is this subcategory
echo '<li><b>'.$cat->getName().'</b>'.'</li>'; //If yes display it as bold (Currently Selected)
else //
echo '<li>'.$cat->getName().''.'</li>'; //Otherwise display it as normal
}
}
?>
<?php echo "</ol>"; ?>
</div>
and it's working fine, I created a custom layout to use for the category pages and it will throw an error if used in a non-category related page, but it works!
Finally.
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
<?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
<h3><?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?></h3>
<!--sub sub category-->
<?php $_subcategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_subcategory->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subsubcategories = $_subcategory->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subsubcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subsubcategories as $_subsubcategory): ?>
<li>
<?php echo $_subsubcategory->getName() ?>
<?php $_subsubsubcategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_subsubcategory->getId()) ?>
<?php $_subsubsubcategories = $_subsubcategory->getChildrenCategories() ?>
<?php if (count($_subsubsubcategories) > 0): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($_subsubsubcategories as $_subsubsubcategory): ?>
<li>
<span><?php echo $_subsubsubcategory->getName() ?></span>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<!--sub sub category-->
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
