-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.5
-- HikaMarket version -- : 1.6.5

In the frontend product edition I would like to make the category tree chooser larger and with some category already unfolded so for massive maintenance it makes life easier for the data entry user.

This post is with double purpose:

First, could you advise on how could change the tree window size? I tried with several CSS editing but wasn't successful.

Second. is it possible to assign some (or all) category to be already unfolded once I open the category tree?


Second purpose, if not possible with simple file editing then I would like to suggest this as product improvements for future editions.

Indeed would be great if I could assign in the category itself if I want it to be shown already unfolded when showing in frontend or backend.

Thank you.

Hi,

The category selector is using the namebox system.
The width of the "popup" is 100% of the container and the height is by default 130px.
You can change it using the CSS selector

div.namebox-popup div.namebox-popup-content { }

For the loading of the content ; you can use an override in order to change the depth number (which is 1 by default).
		echo $this->nameboxType->display(
			'data[product][categories]',
			$categories,
			hikamarketNameboxType::NAMEBOX_MULTIPLE,
			'category',
			array(
				'delete' => true,
				'sort' => true,
				'depth' => 2,
				'root' => $this->vendorCategories,
				'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>',
			)
		);
The categories of the "product category" will be automatically loaded and the "product category" will be in open state.

The "unfolding by default' worked perfectly for product categories tree but now I want to do the same with product tree for Options and for Related products fields and I am not successful using the depth parameter:

echo $this->nameboxType->display(
'data[product][options]',
@$this->product->options,
hikamarketNameboxType::NAMEBOX_MULTIPLE,
'product',
array(
	'delete' => true,
	'sort' => true,
	'depth' => 4,            /*  ADDED DEPTH OPENING TREE CATEGORIES   */
	'root' => 2,
	'allvendors' => (int)$this->config->get('options_all_vendors', 0),
	'default_text' => '<em>'.JText::_('HIKA_NONE').'</em>',	
	 )
);

I tried with depth value from 2 to 4 and no error is displaying but also no unfolding by default.

Am I wrong expecting depth parameter to work for product selection trees?

Hi,

The "depth" setting in "product" just allow to load the data but does not unfold the categories by default.
In order to manage the "depth" for the "product" ; it requires some code in the getNameboxData of the HikaMarket product class.
The automatic unfold was not added for the products because it could display a big tree. The usage of the depth is more to pre-load data than display them directly to the user.
But we can see to add a setting for that unfolding.

In the file, you can replace

		$limit = (int)@$options['limit'];
By
		$limit = (int)@$options['limit'];
		$unfold = (int)@$options['unfold'];

And then
	if($depth > 1 && $v->category_depth < $base_depth) {
		$lookup_categories[$k] = $k;
		$o->status = 1;
	}
By
	if($depth > 1 && $v->category_depth < $base_depth) {
		$lookup_categories[$k] = $k;
		$o->status = $unfold ? 2: 1;
	}
So, you can now use the setting "unfold" with the other parameters (depth, root, ...)
