Ubercart

Okey. In uc_catalogmenu_v1 version selecting the subcatalog is more easy. Instead of finding the termId and entering to a textfield, you can just select the subcatalog item form a combobox. Please download uc_catalogmenu_v1.zip above.

You should add uc_catalog to the dependencies.

Thank you. uc_catalog added. v1.1.zip

Is there a reason that the roles need to have Administer Taxonomy selected for the menus to display? Doesn't seem to be logical.

I figured it out. I have taxonomy access permissions set up and the catalog wasn't viewable.

uc_catalogmenu.module does not have any role based restrictions. Please check whether the catalog.module has the same restritcion. If yes this should be discussed with the ubercart team.

Very usefull module

glad to hear that the module is in action

thanks!

Ok, so... (*newbie here*) I installed the files from uc_catalogmenu_v1.1.zip, and attempted to follow the instructions in the .txt file but still got a wee bit lost.

It started out alright, I renamed Catalog Block:1 "Topics A-Z" and positioned it in the right sidebar (The initial Catalogue is in the left sidebar) so now I have a nice sentence "Topics A-Z" in my right sidebar but without any content/links/products or anything at all.

I did get a little lost over what this meant (from the installation .txt file:) "State the Catalog Term ID: (Note:just go over the catalog see the id Ex: catalog/25/xxxxx 25 is the ID)" -what the frak does this mean??

The only thing I could think of was to visit Administer/Categories, and create a "Topics A-Z" vocabulary (in which is listed the topic categories which are linked to the products) then if I move the mouse over where it says "edit vocabulary" I can see that there is a 3 in it. So is that what I put as the Catalog Term ID? (which didn't work)

I'm sure I'm missing something...

What I am actually trying to achieve is to have a catalog menu in the left sidebar which lists the Product Categories (Books, CDs, DVDs etc- so far a success) and another menu in the right sidebar which allows shoppers to browse by Topic (e.g. Angels, Fairies, Quantum Physics etc) Then if ever manage to figure this out (I'm getting closer- I just know it!) then I'll have another one for browse by Author or something similar.

So can anyone explain to me (in layman's/ newbie terms) where I've gone wrong? Am I even using the right module for what I want to do here??

Thanks for your patience & assistance )

Please discard the "State the Catalog Term ID: (Note:just go over the catalog see the id Ex: catalog/25/xxxxx 25 is the ID)" line in readme file.

Instead of finding the termId and entering to a textfield, you can just select the subcatalog item form a combobox. To do this go to administration->site building->blocks and click configure operation of your block. Select the Catalog Term item from the combobox that you want and just save it. That is all.

Thankyou for your quick reply

I might still be missing something. I can't see any combo boxes on that page? (I attached the screenshot)

Please can you download the uc_catalogmenu_v1.zip file. May be there is a problem with the version 1.1. Will wait your feedback. Also there is a howTo.txt file within the v1.

Hello, I replaced it with version 1 like you suggested and it sort of worked! I can see the combobox, and all the listings in the main catalog (hooray!) However after setting it to show in the right sidebar I still can't see anything other than the title for some reason? I'll have more of a play with it... also any idea how to set it to display a different vocabulary other than the primary one? It looks like I can only select the main catalogue? Hmm...

Thanks for your help

-Do you have product assigned to the sub category items? Ubercart does not show the subcategories if there is no product assigned.
-Ubercart uses just one catalog. And the catalog id is defined in store configuration page. So, this module is using the id specified in the store configuration page.

You welcome.
Next week i will create a new version 1.2 to avoid the problem that you have faced. Many thanks for your help.

This module also works well when combined with http://drupal.org/project/quicktabs module. Although all its doing is merging two blocks into one, it has some pretty nice graphic interface and just looks nice.

BTW for this purposes would be better to have two separate vocabularies like for example "type" and "brand". Is it possible somehow?

Yes, using quickTab is good idea.

Just create two categories named brands and types with some values. Edit you product and select this values. May be that will help you.

I posted over on the Drupal site, but wasn't sure which one you are checking. I am having the same issue that the other user did, with no combo box in the admin and no items showing up in the block. The only version I could see to download was the 5.x-1.0 version. Did I miss something? Thanks!

Yes I'm using it this way, but I thought that if this could be in two vocabularies it would be much more user friendly for other administrators on my site to have it separetely in two boxes. But never mind, its not a big deal, and I guess this behavior is hardcoded in ubercart so we will just have to make piece with that :]

Hi,

I am trying to get the Port to D6 work. Has anybody got this working on Drupal 6? Seems to be complex.

I tested the module. I can display the taxonomy but not the products. Is this a configuration error on my side?

I can only see :

I used a Drupal 5 and ported it to Drupal 6 using the patch from Drupal.org issues.

Hi there,

I'm looking for something similar to this for drupal 6. I am trying to spread the catalog out over the various primary link tabs. In other words, I'd like to have the tabs in the primary navigation: Shoes, Accessories, Ties, etc... and its children: Shoes -> Girls -> Casual, etc... link to the appropriate products.

Any help would be deeply appreciated?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi there,

I am new to ubercart, and using Drupal 6. I need a catalog menu that is filtered by product classes. The current catalog menu lists the catalog categories only. I need the catalog categories menu to group by product classes. Is there any hook to this one?

Thanks
