Creating new menu (Categorylist for each Catalog entry in menu)

[maxwater]

Hi everyone.

id llike to change ofbiz menu.

normal situation on leftbar is:

MENU
------------------
CATALOG1
CATALOG2
CATALOG3
CATALOG4

Category Entry 1(from catalog clicked)
Category Entry 2(from catalog clicked)
Category Entry 3(from catalog clicked)
------------------

id like to have

MENU
--------------------------
CATALOG1
  Category1
  Category1
CATALOG2
  Category2
  Category2
  Category2
CATALOG3
  Category3
CATALOG4
  Category4
  Category4





responsible for that stuff seems to be choosecatalog.ftl + sidedeepcategory.ftl

i copied some stuff from choosecatalog in my sidedeepcategory, so that atm
i am using sidedeepcategory only to create my menu.

my idea is/was to put the <#list> which is responsible for creating the categories
into the <#list> which creates the Catalog entries. So for each Catalog Entry
there should be a list of its categories right under it in the menu

how can i tell this code to that the categorylist should display a specifc catalog


                 <#if topLevelList?has_content>
                          <#list topLevelList as category>                        

                              <@categoryList parentCategory=category category=category/>
                       
                          </#list>  


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically it works fine it creates a menu etc. BUT it creates for each Catalog Entry in the menu
the same category below. i found no way to tell which category to display.

any ideas ???

Help would be great.

Thx in advance,
Johannes


THIS IS BASICALLY MY IDEA



   <#list catalogCol as catalogId>
           
            <#assign thisCatalogName = Static["org.ofbiz.product.catalog.CatalogWorker"].getCatalogName(request, catalogId)>
             

                 
                  <div class="browsecategorytext" style="margin-left:5px">
                     /main/~CURRENT_CATALOG_ID=${catalogId}</@ofbizUrl>" class="browsecategorybutton">XXX ${catalogId} ${thisCatalogName}<br>
                  </div> 
                       

               <br>
               
               
                 <#if topLevelList?has_content>
                          <#list topLevelList as category>                        

                              <@categoryList parentCategory=category category=category/>
                       
                          </#list> 
                          <br>
                  </#if>
       
                 
 
   </#list>

1st solution :
Transform your catalogs into categories
And your categories into sub-categories
