Category Hierarchy Reverse with new filter box

Submitted by sirmanu on Wed, 2017-10-11 10:50 in Feed Management and Administration

Hi.

Is it possible to add a new filter box in categories_hierarchy_reverse.php so the items that appears in the cells (class="edit") are filtered?
I have a big Category Hierarchy and it's difficult to select and find specific categories when all the tree appears in each row.

Thanks.

Hi, Sure - to add a category

Hi,

Sure - to add a category hierarchy filter in addition to the feed category filter;

Edit admin/categories_hierarchy_reverse.php and look for the following code at line 12:

$filter = (isset($_GET["filter"])?$_GET["filter"]:"");

...and REPLACE with:

  $filter = (isset($_GET["filter"])?$_GET["filter"]:"");

  $filterHierarchy = (isset($_GET["filterHierarchy"])?$_GET["filterHierarchy"]:"");

And then the following code at line 126:

widget_textBox("Filter","filter",FALSE,$filter,"",3);

...and REPLACE with:

  widget_textBox("Filter","filter",FALSE,$filter,"",3);

  widget_textBox("Filter (Hierarchy)","filterHierarchy",FALSE,$filterHierarchy,"",3);

And finally the following code at line 194:

print "<option value='".$value."'>".$option."</option>";

...and REPLACE with:

      if ($filterHierarchy && (stripos($option,$filterHierarchy)===FALSE)) continue;

      print "<option value='".$value."'>".$option."</option>";

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
