Displaying only Active

[lesliekirk]

This snippet of code posted here https://docs.miva.com/code-samples/subcat does a great job of displaying the sub-categories - too good of a job - as it also displays the inactive categories. How do I display just the active categories?

//load current category data

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" /> <mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="CategoryList_Load_Parent( l.settings:current_category:id, l.settings:sub_categories )" /> <mvt:foreach iterator="subcat" array="sub_categories"> &mvt:subcat:active; &mvt:subcat:agrpcount; &mvt:subcat:code; &mvt:subcat:disp_order; &mvt:subcat:id; &mvt:subcat:name; &mvt:subcat:parent_id; </mvt:foreach>

Try adding an mvt:if that checks for active in the loop and then going to the next record if the item is not active:

<mvt:foreach iterator="subcat" array="sub_categories">
  <mvt:if expr="NOT l.settings:subcat:active">
    <mvt:foreachcontinue />
  </mvt:if>
&mvt:subcat:active; &mvt:subcat:agrpcount; &mvt:subcat:code; &mvt:subcat:disp_order; &mvt:subcat:id; &mvt:subcat:name; &mvt:subcat:parent_id;
</mvt:foreach>

Thanks Scot! That's exactly what I needed.

You can also use:

Runtime_Category_Load_Code()

Which is useful because it lists only categories that should be shown to a user based on availability groups AND active.

Follow up question - how do I display the subcat image?

      <mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-cssui-cattitle.mvc'" name="l.success" value="CSSUI_CatTitle_Load(l.settings:subcat:id, l.settings:subcat:cat_title)" />

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-cssui-cattitle.mvc'" name="l.success" value="CSSUI_CatTitle_Load(l.settings:subcat:id, l.settings:subcat:cat_title)" />

That would work IF the site were CSSUI...

oh, try replacing cssui with mmui (not tested, been awhile since i've worked on an mmui).

Thanks, Bruce, that got it. So those of you out there that still have MMUI stores here ya go (make sure you put it inside the foreach loop):

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-mmui-cattitle.mvc'" name="l.success" value="MMUI_CatTitle_Load(l.settings:subcat:id, l.settings:subcat:cat_title)" />
<img src="&mvt:subcat:cat_title:image;" alt="&mvt:subcat:name;">
