Hello David,
When i enable Category Hierarchy Mapping and only want to show a few categories from a feed on my website the script is importing al the products of that feed. Is it possible to import only the categories which you have selected?
Thanks Jan Roel
Hello David,
How does it exactly work? Because when i enabel niche mode en then import the feed nothing is imported.
Only when i set niche mode to false and then import everything. Then everything in the feed is imported and the i can with reverse mapping add categories. After that i set nichemode to true and then re-import and everything is okai.
Hello Jan,
Niche mode should only be enabled once you have fully mapped a feed's categories into your Category Hierarchy, or at least those categories that you wish to import. With Niche Mode enabled and the above modification in place, any product with a category that is not mapped into your hierarchy will be dropped.
Whenever you wish to return to a feed and add more categories to your site, or you wish to map a new feed, temporarily disable niche mode by changing back to false, re-import the feed, complete your mapping, and then set back to true and finally re-import.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
In relation to this mod i noticed that if a category has subcategories, there is no way to go to the main category by clicking on the menu, as the clicking is to open up the subcategories menu.
I also noticed that i mapped products to the main category, but they don't show. Only the subcategories show.
Is there a way to open the menu by hovering on the main menu, and click to go to the main category/subcategory ?
Also, is there a way of showing products in a main category, and also show the subcategories within that category ?
Mike
Hello Mike,
Sure - first of all, to convert to hover activation of the Category menu, edit html/menu.php and look for the following code at line 1 (15/09A) / 2 (16/10A)
<nav class='top-bar' data-topbar role='navigation'>...and REPLACE with:
<nav class='top-bar' data-topbar role='navigation' data-options='is_hover: true'>Then look for the following code at line 23 (15/09A) / 25 (16/10A)
<li class='has-dropdown show-for-medium-up' onClick='JavaScript:menu_loadCat(0);'>...and REPLACE with:
<li class='has-dropdown show-for-medium-up' onMouseOver='JavaScript:menu_loadCat(0);'>And finally the following code at line 53 (15/09A) / 71 (16/10A)
$("#menu_cat"+id).load("<?php print $config_baseHREF; ?>html/menu_categories.php?parent="+id, function() { });...and REPLACE with:
$("#menu_cat"+id).load("<?php print $config_baseHREF; ?>html/menu_categories.php?parent="+id, function() {$(document).foundation('topbar', 'reflow');});With that in place, use the following code as a complete replacement of html/menu_categories.php
<?php
require("../includes/common.php");
$pathItems = array();
function dropdown($parent)
{
global $config_databaseTablePrefix;
global $config_baseHREF;
global $pathItems;
$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy` WHERE parent='".$parent."'";
if (database_querySelect($sql2,$rows2))
{
foreach($rows2 as $category)
{
$sql3 = "SELECT id FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy`
WHERE parent='".$category["id"]."' LIMIT 1";
if (database_querySelect($sql3,$rows3))
{
array_push($pathItems,$category["name"]);
print "<li class='has-dropdown'>";
$itemHREF = $config_baseHREF."search.php?q=category:".tapestry_hyphenate(implode("/",$pathItems));
print "<a href='".$itemHREF."'>".$category["name"]."</a>";
print "<ul id='menu_cat".$category["id"]."' class='dropdown'>";
dropdown($category["id"]);
print "</ul>";
print "</li>";
array_pop($pathItems);
}
else
{
$categoryHierarchyArray = tapestry_categoryHierarchyArray(array($category["id"]));
$itemHREF = tapestry_indexHREF("category",tapestry_hyphenate($categoryHierarchyArray[$category["id"]]));
print "<li>";
print "<a href='".$itemHREF."'>".$category["name"]."</a>";
print "</li>";
}
}
}
}
dropdown(0);
?>
This version returns the full tree with non-leaf entries linked to search.php with a query of category:Path/To/Category which will return results for all products at that level of the hierarchy and all sub-categories...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Hello Jan,
Sure - what you could do very easily is re-purpose Niche Mode to apply to a Category Hierarchy Mapping instead of Product Mapping. Firstly, edit includes/admin.php and look for the following comment at line 449:
/* niche mode */...and REPLACE with:
/* niche mode */if (!$importRecord["categoryid"]) return;
Then, to enable, edit config.advanced.php and change line 53 as follows;
$config_nicheMode = TRUE;Products will then only be imported if they are mapped into the Category Hierarchy.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
