K2 » Itemlist / Category ... How to show sub sub categories was created by Ahmad Arshad
Hi,
I have just installed K2, gone through the tutorials... and well... kinda stuck on one place.
Basically I am trying to use a K2 >> Itemlist / Category to show products that we are selling...
In back end I have something like:
Products
> SubCategory1
> SubCategoryA
>Itema
>Itemb
> SubCategoryB
>Itema
>Itemb
> SubCategoryC
>Itema
>Itemb
> SubCategory2
> SubCategoryD
> SubCategoryE
> SubCategoryF
> SubCategory3
> SubCategoryG
> SubCategoryH
> SubCategoryI
You get the idea... I wanted to come up with a way so when this menu item OR K2_Tools module is clicked, I get a tree like structure as above in 2-3 Columns (based on SubCategory 1, 2, 3)... with no intro text etc...
I cant get that to happen...
Any help would be appreciated...
Any help in this regard would

I guess what I basically want is a mixture of mod_k2_tools and mod_k2_content.... with k2 tools showing all the categories and subcategories and k2 content showing the child items...
is it really so hard? Shouldnt this be like a built in thing?
Thanks

never mind...
I changed mod_k2_tools so that category list will show children items under treerecurse()

What he meant is that he modifed the modK2ToolsHelper class in the helper.php file. The specific function he changed is treerecurse().
If you understand a bit about joomla and php, you should be able to add a helper function into that class that will run the sql needed to get the items associated with a category, and list those. I'm guessing that's what Ahmad did, and if he's not willing to share the code, writing it wouldn't be that difficult.

I am looking for the same kind of solution.
Would you share what you changedin mod_k2_tools? Or if someone else has another solution
Thanks in advance

Greg,
Did you try sending a PM to Ahmad?
greg said:Hi,
First of all thanks for your quick answer.
I must say i am not really good when it comes to php, that is the main reason i use Joomla.
I do see the treerecurse function, and even if i can understand what it does i am not sure how i could modify it.
If the answer is easy for you and you can share it i would really be thankful
