Hello, today i want to show you how easily you can highlight selected category in default prestashop module: block categories. This module displays all available categories in your store. By default it is located in left hand side column. Selected category <li> element has got class="selected", take a look on module template file:
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}> <a href="{$node.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|strip_tags|trim|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a> {if $node.children|@count > 0} <ul> {foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch} {if $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last} {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'} {else} {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'} {/if} {/foreach} </ul> {/if} </li>
What does it mean? It mean that you can add simple css definition into your global.css file. So, please open yout theme directory (/themes/YOUR_THEME/) and then open global.css file. Add somewhere (no matter where) this code:
#categories_block_left li a.selected { background: orange; }
Ofcourse instead background:orange; you can use other color or url to image like:
#categories_block_left li a.selected { background: url('http://url.to.your.image.dot.com/image.jpg'); }
effect:
