nope goes all mental.

this is the beginning of the original original

<?php

global $epanelMainTabs, $themename, $shortname, $default_colorscheme, $options;

$default_colorscheme = “Default”;

$epanelMainTabs = array(‘general’,’navigation’,’layout’,’ad’,’colorization’,’seo’,’integration’,’support’:wink:;

$cats_array = get_category(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$pages_array = get_pages(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$site_pages = array();

$site_cats = array();

$pages_ids = array();

$cats_ids = array();

foreach ($pages_array as $pagg) {

$site_pages[$pagg->ID] = htmlspecialchars($pagg->post_title);

$pages_ids[] = $pagg->ID;

}

foreach ($cats_array as $categs) {

$site_cats[$categs->cat_ID] = $categs->cat_name;

$cats_ids[] = $categs->cat_ID;

}

Greetings haha,

Though Rob may understand what you were trying to indicate you are trying to do by the coding I certainly cannot figure it out.

Please clarify I wish to change from categoeies to bring product categories.

Please advise.

Thank you for being a WPMU Dev Member!

Cheers, Joe

ahh sorry please see here.

estore.shopezy.co.nz

as you can see on the front page on this theme it has what looks like products. but it gathers them from the categories. So I need to get it to look at the product categories. I have no idea on code but that peice I posted seems to be where it is located :slight_smile:

I think I need to replace get_categories with something like get_mp_categories << although that doesn’t work lol

Here’s what you’re looking for…since you seem to know code I think you can figure it out from this:
```
<?php

$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, "product_category");

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

echo 'Cat ID: '.$term->term_id.'<br>';

echo 'Cat Name: '.$term->name.'<br>';

}

?>
```
If you install a plugin like Exec PHP, then you could have this code on a product page to list all categories for that product. You can also use it elsewhere…just wanted to get you the function and the taxonomy.

More info on this function here:

Greetings,

Thanks Rob for the awesome effort!

@bonmaklad have you indeed been able to get your issue under control using Rob’s spot on code snippet?

Please advise.

No need to post pages of code..let’s just deal with the question at hand :wink:

Your question was – how can you display categories of products? I posted code that does it, so based on this last post of yours the only line that probably needs edited is this:
```
//$cats_array = get_categories('hide_empty=0');

$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, "product_category");
```
change to:
```
//$cats_array = get_categories('hide_empty=0');

$cats_array = get_the_terms($post->ID, "product_category");
```
All that you’re doing is changing what information populates the $cats_array.

Try editing just that one line…nothing else.

hmm comes back blank still :slight_frown:

I went back to the original file, // out the cats_array and do in the new cats_array and its showing nothing. as if there is no categories.

hmm

hmm this is totally turning into a round circle. four days ago I thought I would just need to redefine the location it looks for the array but this is far too complex haha

this php lingo and wordpress coding stuff looks straight forward but I don’t think it is :slight_smile:

“Try editing just that one line…nothing else. “

lol I did do that though, before you say hehe. I just have about 24 hours to kill before your time line comes back in contact with mine. So I have tried another 20 variations so far.
bonmaklad

- 64 pts: Hero points 693 pts: Rep. points LEVEL 6
so I changed the one line:

//$cats_array = get_categories(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$cats_array = get_the_terms($post->ID, “product_category”:wink:;

$pages_array = get_pages(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$site_pages = array();

$site_cats = array();

$terms = array();

$pages_ids = array();

$cats_ids = array();

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

echo ‘Cat ID: ‘.$term->term_id.’
‘;

echo ‘Cat Name: ‘.$term->name.’
‘;

}

but when I read this.. it doesn’t make sense. so change it to this.

//$cats_array = get_categories(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$cats_array = get_the_terms($post->ID, “product_category”:wink:;

$pages_array = get_pages(‘hide_empty=0’:wink:;

$site_pages = array();

$site_cats = array();

$terms = array();

$pages_ids = array();

$cats_ids = array();

foreach ( $cats_array as $term ) {

echo ‘Cat ID: ‘.$term->term_id.’
‘;

echo ‘Cat Name: ‘.$term->name.’
‘;

}

ok nope.

hmm going to have to give up today. Spent 4 hours on it this morning and feel bad i’m charging a client to spend time doing my own thing.

i’ve read all about get_the_terms and I have tried different variations but there must be something thats causing nothing to show.

I have removed the theme from my options for now :slight_frown: maybe it’s designed to only work with products

I’m not sure why you’re having this problem, but the code I posted first definitely works with MP and returns products.

If you’re delivering something for a client, then I’d suggest posting a job and passing along the cost directly or indirectly:

lol nope, I meant I am working (as in my normal job) but working on this problem :slight_smile:

Although I must admit this project is coming to an end, so I don’t feel too bad.

yeah there must be something wrong with the theme. I am going to go ask in the themes help desk.

Ouch….I’d just use another theme if that was an option. I’ve run MP on so many themes without any issues at all…Canvas (Woothemes), Platform (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/platform), and many others…

I wish you luck…

IMO – you’re spending too much time on this – either hire someone to make it work, create a child theme, or use one of the thousands of themes that work perfectly with MP.

I wish you the best in whatever direction you take!

I think your right and to be honest the quotes I am getting back from developers I could learn how to make a child theme myself!

thanks for your help digitsoft. I think I will either look to pay for a bunch of marketpress child themes or learn to do them myself
