I looked at the JQuery plugin and did everything I had to for the
<head> tag in my base.html file.
Now I'm just confused on how to change the rest of the base.html file
to specify which categories are span class="folder" and which are span
class="file"
<div id="leftnav">
{% block sidebar-secondary %}
<div>
{% block sidebar %}
<b>{% trans "Categories" %} </b>
{% block sidebar-categories %}
<div id="menu_container">
{% if category.id %}
{% category_tree category.id %}
{% else %}
{% if product.get_category %}
{% category_tree product.get_category.id %}
{% else %}
{% category_tree %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endblock sidebar-categories %}
{% block sidebar-secondary-bottom %}
{% plugin_point "sidebar_secondary_bottom" %}
{% endblock %}
{% endblock sidebar %}
</div>
{% endblock sidebar-secondary %}
</div>
This is the code in my base.html file for the categories sidebar.
I want to uncollapse/collpase categories when I click on them. That
is, until I reach the category where all my products are located. Then
I want to display the category.html page upon mouse click. Where do I
put <span class="folder"> </span>...etc tags? Or do I have to edit the
templatetag, satchmo_category.py?
Is what I'm trying to do possible in a simple manner?
If not, is there a way to disable links (remove a href) for categories
that are not needed?
Thanks
-Alex
