Categories in left menu

[holas]

How can I introduce the first categories in the left menu of 4 images?. Thank you.

... for short ...
... if you have a limited number of "first categories" ...
... then add the links of the categoies in /templates/<your_template>/userlogginform.html and userloggininfo.html ...

  Hello;
mawenzi is right. Why not add it to these files?  But you can make you own left menu.
Hola;
mawenzi tiene razón. ¿Porque no usar esos ficheros? Pero puedes también hacer tu proprio menú de izquierda.
Show only master categories on the left menu:
  Mostrar solo las categorías maestras en el menu de la izquierda:

• Open the file "index.php" and find:
  
• Abrir el fichero "index.php" y localizar:

       

Code: [Select]

$categories = get_categories(0);

• Insert just after:
• Añadir justo despues:

Code: [Select]

$config['num_subcats'] = 0;

  Now open templates/your_template/home.html and add in the left column:
  Entonces, abre el fichero templates/tu_plantilla/home.html y añade en la columna de izquierda:

Code: [Select]

{if categories}
                  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
                    <tr>
                      <td class="head1">
                        <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
                          <tr>
                            <td class="head1" valign="top">{lang_categories}</td>
                          </tr>
                          <tr>
                            <td class="row2" valign="top">{categories}</td>
                          </tr>
                        </table>
                      </td>
                    </tr>
                  </table>
                  <br />
                  {endif categories}

hi manurom,

... are you sure about the left menu in all templates ... ?

[manurom]

Not really, mawenzi;
it works well in home.html template file, if you want to have a homepage with just new added images and a cat navigation on the left. But if holas needs to show his cats in any page, there's in this forum a good MOD called Sitemap by V@no ( who else? ) that does it fine.
but did holas mentioned it?

I think his question is a beginning. Most features have to be described and selected, as usual.

But you and me are not the site owner, we cannot be in his mind... so let us just expect an answer, and we will know what is the final purpose, I hope.

Best regards.

[mawenzi]

... I think ... when left menu ... then left menu in all templates ...
... but we must see what holas says ...

[manurom]

... but we must see what holas says ...

I really agree.

  By the way, please holas keep the 4images copyright in your site here:

Hi, I have set my category table cells to "1" in ACP so I can have a category list in left menu.

The problem is in categories page, the subcategories are also in 1 column all the way down the page, how can I set a different number of table cells to show subcategories in the categories page like for example, 2 columns?

Thanks in advance
