Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

hi there
I'm new in broadleaf ecommerce.in admin module I add 8 category but in site just show 6 of them what happen for rrest of them and how can I show rest of them in my site?
thank you so much

Hi have a look into th file

/site/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/templates/layout/partials/nav.html

you will find the limitation defined:

<blc:categories resultVar="navCategories" parentCategory="Primary Nav" maxResults="6" />


regards

Hi,

Can you please assist actually what exactly this code means :

<blc:categories resultVar="navCategories" parentCategory="Primary Nav" maxResults="6" />

How is it internally populating the navCategories variable by just speifying the parentCategory="Primary Nav"?

Many thanks!

Kushagra, the code that you have posted is a type of thymeleaf processor. These processors are java objects that have logic to be applied on DOM nodes. They are almost same as jsp custom tags but are alot more powerful.

To see what blc:categories processor does go to https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/BroadleafCommerce/blob/4674db5d16118e404452a166eff52637a7c748e0/core/broadleaf-framework-web/src/main/java/org/broadleafcommerce/core/web/processor/CategoriesProcessor.java

You can find more information on thymeleaf processor on http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/extendingthymeleaf.html#processors.

Thanks a lot Prabhat. It helped me a lot! One small thing, in the same code:

<blc:categories resultVar="navCategories" parentCategory="Primary Nav" maxResults="6" />

I am trying to make this code generic and want set the parentCateogory from category currently selected,then, it must be like :

<blc:categories resultVar="navCategories" parentCategory="${category.name}"/>

But ${category.name} is not rendered as actual category name and parentCategory is set to this ${category.name} text only.

Am I making any syntax error? Because the value of ${category.name} is coming correctly on HTML when I write [[${category.name}]].


Thanks for your enormous support!

Regards

Looking for any help regarding my query in last post. Would be grateful for any support for the same!

Hi Kushagra, I tried to dig into why ${category.name} is not being evaluated as an expression. I suspect it is something to do with the type of processor but does not have concrete proof about it. Someone from BLC team can surely throw some light on this.

Sorry for the late reply. The 'category' variable in this case is set by the CategoryHandlerMapping via:



Thymeleaf makes request attributes available on the model to be referenced as normal variables.
