Use current category as top level parent

Resolved

Requested: 1 month and 1 week ago

Hi!

Would love your help adjusting the sidebar a little bit to fit our needs.

We have a WooCommerce website with 3 levels of productcategories, for example:

Main: Balloons
Sub: Ages, Birth, Colors, etc.
Sub sub (of Ages): 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, etc.

Current situation

On the main category, it is showing al subs -> great.

But when going to a sub, it is still showing the same items like I was on the main category.

Desired situation

When on the main category, the menu shows only the subs of that category -> done.
When on a sub, the menu shows only the sub from that subcategory (the subsubs).
When you are on the subsub, this is the last level. So it would be very nice to show there all its sisters/brothers of that subsub

Hope I explain my request correct. Please let me know if this is workable 🙂

Kind regards

Hi Maurice,

Adding the following filter to your active theme’s function.php file will make the following adjustments.
1. Use the current category as the top level category.
  1. Allows the menu to show only the categories below the current one.
2. When on a bottom level category, use the current categories parent as the top level category.
  1. Allows the menu to show the bottom level categories only.
Note: To prevent showing the current top level categories, you will need to have “Display the highest level parent category” unchecked (like you currently do).

use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Menus\Category; /** * Use the current category as the top level parent. * * If on the bottom level, use the current category's parent. */ add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/top-level-term-ids', function( $ids, $args, $instance, Category $class ) { if ( $class->is_tax() || ! empty( get_queried_object()->parent ) ) { $terms = get_terms( \array_filter( [ 'taxonomy' => $class->get_taxonomy(), 'parent' => get_queried_object_id(), 'orderby' => $class->get_order_by(), 'order' => $class->get_order(), ] ) ); if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) { return [ get_queried_object_id() ]; } else { return [ get_queried_object()->parent ]; } } return $ids; }, 10, 4 );

Have a great day!
