Hi,
I have 3 levels of categories.
2 of which show up in the category menu on the left. When someone clicks on a 2nd level category, I want its child categories (3rd level) to show up at the top of the results page, like a filter.
I tried this code, but it doesn't work:
{{ #foreach ( $category in $methods.getcategoriesbyparentid($currentcategoryid)) }}
<li>
<a href="{{ $category.categorylink }}?pagesize=40"><h3>{{ $category.name }}</h3></a>
</ul>
{{ #end }}
</li>
If i replace {{ $currentcategoryid }} with the category number, it works fine. But this is no good as I want it to display the child categories of the current category being view, not a set a category.
The funny thing is if I print {{ $currentcategoryid }} onto the page it will give me the category number. But it doesn't work inside the for statement.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
