layout - Magento Insert Sub Category Navigation before breadcrumbs -
i trying create sub navigation of main navigation in magento , insert before breadcrumbs module. when navigate root catalogue sub menu of main child categories appears navigation bar above breadcrumbs below root navigation. in catalogue click root category , main categories under root category appear horizontal navigation bar below it.
i able insert under category title not above breadcrums module. created app/design/frontend/theme/template/catalog/navigation/topsub.phtml , entered following code:
<?php //get sub categories current category $_category = $this->getcurrentcategory(); $_category_children = $_category->getchildren(); $catids = explode(',',$_category_children); $categories = array(); foreach($catids $catid) { $category = mage::getmodel('catalog/category')->load($catid); $categories[$category->getname()] = array( 'url' => $category->geturl(), 'img' => $category->getimageurl() ); } ?> <ul class="subnav"> <?php if($category->getisactive()): ?> <?php foreach($categories $name => $data): ?> <li> <a href="<?php echo $data['url']; ?>" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" alt="<?php echo $name; ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $data['img']; ?>" /> <div class="category-title"><?php echo $name; ?></div> </a> <span>/ </span> </li> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php endif; ?> </ul> in local.xml have entered
<reference name="mtopsub"> <block type="catalog/navigation" name="topsub" as="topsub" template="catalog/navigation/topsub.phtml"/> </reference> in template file have called
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php echo $this->getlang() ?>" lang="<?php echo $this->getlang() ?>"> <head> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('head') ?> </head> <body<?php echo $this->getbodyclass()?' class="'.$this->getbodyclass().'"':'' ?>> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('after_body_start') ?> <div class="wrapper"> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('global_notices') ?> <div class="page"> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('header') ?> <div class="main-container col1-layout"> <div class="main"> <div class="msubnav"> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('mtopsub') ?> </div> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('breadcrumbs') ?> <div class="col-main"> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('global_messages') ?> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('content') ?> </div> </div> </div> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('footer') ?> <?php echo $this->getchildhtml('before_body_end') ?> </div> </div> <?php echo $this->getabsolutefooter() ?> </body> </html> now until point nothing appears. if create static block , enter following code it:
<p>{{block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.navigation" template="catalog/navigation/topsub.phtml"}}</p> the sub navigation menu appears should in wrong position. instead of appearing above breadcrumbs module appears below , below category page title.
i sure missing something, if can point me in right direction appreciate it.
you're there :-)
as you're adding code layout template view, need modify layout xml add block child of root element:
layout/page.xml (or local.xml)
<reference name="root"> <block type="catalog/navigation" name="mtopsub" as="mtopsub" template="catalog/navigation/topsub.phtml" /> </reference> now when call:
<?php echo $this->getchildhtml('mtopsub') ?> inside layout template, block available , should render correctly.
