Block Categories in Footer

[haylau]

Am I missing something

I want to list our store top level categories in the footer. I have enabled the module, and selected 4 columns so they are spread across the page. But they are still showing as one column (not a cache issue). Any ideas? (Panda Theme)

1. Replace this code $this->smarty->assign('numberColumn', $numberColumn); in the \modules\blockcategories\blockcategories.php file with $this->smarty->assign('numberColumn', $nbrColumns);

2. Replace the \themes\panda\modules\blockcategories\blockcategories_footer.tpl file with the one in the attachment, see the pic below, I've highlighted all changes out.

blockcategories_footer.tpl

I'm not sure, but I think you can find a better solution with one of the panda modules.
For example:
- Custom links
- Custom Content Block
- .....

Yes, looked at those but I would have to manually add each category and manually update as and when. The block categories should be automatic

ok

better to ask @Jonny how to

That setting was deprecated for a very long time, even the TB's community theme doesn't use it any more. I you do need it  I can guide you to do some changes to the \modules\blockcategories\blockcategories.php and the \themes\panda\modules\blockcategories\blockcategories_footer.tpl to make it work.

Same question for Niara theme - does anyone know if I should adapt the instructions above?
I am on TB version 1.1#905 - does anyone know if this is fixed in later versions?
