AJAX Sliding Categories v2.5

This module allows subcategories to be dynamically loaded to reduce load time. It also adds the option to display categories using accordions so only one set of subcategories is open at a time, saving vertical space. Other options include displaying the number of products in each category, hiding empty categories, and displaying only the subcategories of the current category.

See Terms and Conditions for licensing information.

AU$40.00 GST incl.

Just extract the zip to your modules directory, upload it to your server, then look for the module in the "Blocks" section of the Modules tab and click Install.  Click on the Configure link to change the module's settings.

Based on the original categories block from Prestashop v1.3, this module has the following features:

Tree Settings

Maximum depth: Allows a limit on the maximum number of sublevels displayed at a time to be set (as in the original category block).

Product numbers: Allows the number of products in each category (and optionally subcategories) to be displayed in brackets after the category name.  Products numbers are cached to reduce load time.  The cache can be manually regenerated from the configuration page or automatically regenerated using a cron job.

Hide zero counts: Allows the number of products to be hidden when it is zero.

Hide empty categories: Allows all categories that do not contain any products to be hidden, unless subcategories contain products.

Hide parent categories: Allows all parents categories of the current category to be hidden.

Hide sub-subcategories: Allows all sub-subcategories to be hidden.  When used with the "hide parent categories" option, it allows just the subcategories of the current category to be displayed.

Show breadcrumbs: Allow hidden parents to be displayed as breadcrumbs

Highlight colour: Allows the colour of the current category to be changed.

Animation Settings

Animation mode: Allows the categories to be animated the same way as the original module using +/- buttons, animated using accordions instead, or to have no animation at all.

Slide animation: Allows the slide animation to be changed to None, Default, Ease, or Bounce.

Mouse event: Allows the accordion to slide on mouse click or mouse hover.

Dynamically load: Allows the subcategories to be dynamically loaded using AJAX to reduce load time.

Save state: Allows the categories to remain open when navigating between pages.

Open category: Allows a selected category to be open by default on the homepage and other non-product pages.

  • Sliding Categories v1.6.1.zip
    This free module is based on the category module from PrestaShop v1.1 and does not have any of the tree management or AJAX features that the paid module has.
