Fix: Adding this to your theme’s (or child-theme’s) functions.php removes the page and the menu link:

function nuke_menu_items(){
remove_menu_page( 'link-manager.php');
//remove_menu_page( 'upload.php'); //remove other items etc etc
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'nuke_menu_items', 999 );

<?php if(shopp('category','hascategories')): ?>
  <?php while(shopp('category','subcategories')): ?>
    //display stuff
  <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

…displays all subcast AND their subcats.

Fix: I decided to add a new tag, called shopp(‘subcategory’, ‘depth’) that would return the category depth. That way in the loop above this would show only immediate children:

<?php if(shopp('category','hascategories')): ?>
  <?php while(shopp('category','subcategories')):
    $depth = shopp('subcategory', 'depth', 'return=true');
    if($depth!=0):
      continue;
    endif; ?>
   //else display stuff
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Adding the new tag: Open the theme’s functions.php file and add this:

add_filter('shopp_tag_category_depth','return_cat_depth',10, 3);
add_filter('shopp_tag_subcategory_depth','return_cat_depth',10, 3);
function return_cat_depth($result, $options, $Category) {return $Category->depth;}

…once that’s added, shopp(‘subcategory’, ‘depth’) can be used anywhere in the Shopp templates.

Note: In Shopp 1.2 the hook is created differently. Thanks to Jon Davies for pointing out that the hook would now be shopp_themeapi_{object name}_{property} and defined in defined in shopp/api/theme.php.

<?php while(shopp('category','subcategories')): ?>
    <?php shopp('subcategory','name'); ?> (<?php shopp('subcategory','total'); ?>)
<?php endwhile; ?>

Fix: For the products to be countable, the ‘hasproducts‘ tag has to be called with the ‘load’ option like so:

<?php while(shopp('category','subcategories')): ?>
    <?php if(shopp('subcategory','hasproducts','load=prices,images')): ?>
        <?php shopp('subcategory','name'); ?> (<?php shopp('subcategory','total'); ?>)
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Note: The docs refer to ‘category’ tags. Each category tag has an ideantical subcategory tag. For example and both work when used in the correct context.

<ul class="variations">
  <?php shopp('product', 'variations', 'mode=multiple&label=true&defaults=Select an option&before_menu=<li>&after_menu=</li>'); ?>
</ul>

And this outputs a list that shows options as “Option Label (price)”.

Fix: The code above can be replaced with this code to manually create the same thing, giving complete control over output:

<ul class="variations">
    <li>
    <label for="options-1">Quantity</label>
    <select name="products[<?php shopp('product', 'id'); ?>][options][]" class="category-catalog product<?php shopp('product', 'id'); ?> options" id="options-1">
    <option value="">Select an option</option>
    <?php
        $i=1;
        while (shopp('product', 'variations')): ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $i;$i++; ?>"><?php shopp('product', 'variation', 'label'); ?></option>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    </select>
    </li>
</ul>

The $i;$i++ was a bit of a work-around as I couldn’t get it to work with variation ID, so if you know a better way, please tell us below!

Fix: There is however a breadcrumb template tag that stores the category name that a user us currently viewing, so that if they then click on a product, the hierarchical parent category can be displayed in the breadcrumb.

This functionality can be used in a new custom tag. Jon Davis the lead developer of Shopp helped me a lot today as I was barking up the wrong tree going about it the wrong way.

Add this to your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter('shopp_tag_catalog_lastcat','get_last_cat');
function get_last_cat ($result,$options,$Object) {
    $Storefront = ShoppStorefront();
    if (false === $Storefront) return false;
    $category = $Storefront->breadcrumb;
    return $category;
}

Then anywhere in your Shopp templates you can do this to return the category part of the current breadcrumb e.g “Smalls” in Home > Smalls > Purple Pants :

<?php
//echo it out straight away..
shopp('catalog','lastcat');
 
// return it for use..
$lastcat = shopp('catalog','lastcat','return=true');
?>

Hope that helps someone, props go to JD for getting it working!

Fix: After chatting to some of the support Mods on IRC (thanks @TheWebBaker and @umargl0bal, it seemed I might need to reset the category query (category docs- see ‘reset’ option) after calling ‘Related Products‘, but this didn’t work. I turns out (sort of obviously in hindsight) that the product query needed to be reset instead (product docs – see ‘reset’ option). Here’s some working code inside product.php:

<?php shopp('catalog', 'related-products'); ?>
<?php shopp('catalog', 'product', 'reset=1'); ?>

That code can be placed anywhere in the product template but it makes sense to put it at the beginning or end of the product listing.

Tips:

• If you want to show random products you can use the ‘order=random’ option in the ‘related-products’ tab (see below for an example).
• If you want to limit the number of related products shown, use the ‘show=#’ option also (see below for example).

<?php shopp('catalog', 'related-products','show=3&order=random'); ?>

• The related items will be rendered using the category.php template. If you want to create a custom template JUST for related items (you really do) then copy category.php as category-related.php and customise that. This new template file will be called to render the related products.

More Info: After some searching about, and some helpful info provided in the WordPress Codex, I found out about a WP function called ‘wptexturize’ which is applied each time a post is rendered. The function – which can be found in ‘wp-includes/formatting.php’ – replaces quite a few things, like ™ to ™ etc.

Fix: You could stop this happening a number of ways i.e. editing the function to stop it doing the replace altogether, or install a plugin that does it (maybe this one, haven’t tried it!). I decided to use WordPress’s remove_filter function to stop the reformatting taking place.

To do this, open the ‘functions.php’ file within your theme. If one does not exist, create it.

Add the following code to the bottom of the file, taking care not to end up with too many or too few <?php tags:

<?php
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('the_title', 'wptexturize');
?>

Then save the file (or ‘update’ if you’re doing this via the theme editor in WP admin) and view your post. That should do it! (proof is here, you can only see those double and triple hyphens in this blog post title because I’ve just added the code above to this sites functions.php also!)

Fix: I made this mod to answer a question in the Shopp Helpdesk forum, it’s not very tested, but seems to work perfectly!

Open ‘wp-content/plugins/shopp/core/flow/Warehouse.php’ and replace this:

198

$subfilters = array('f' => 'featured','p' => 'published','s' => 'onsale','i' => 'inventory');

With this:

198

$subfilters = array('f' => 'featured','p' => 'published','d' => 'draft','s' => 'onsale','i' => 'inventory');

Then in the same file replace this:

199
200
201
202
203
204
205

$subs = array(
'all' => array('label' => __('All','Shopp'),'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>'true'),
'published' => array('label' => __('Published','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pd.status='publish'",'request' => 'p'),
'onsale' => array('label' => __('On Sale','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pt.sale='on'",'request' => 's'),
'featured' => array('label' => __('Featured','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pd.featured='on'",'request' => 'f'),
'inventory' => array('label' => __('Inventory','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pt.id) AS total",'where'=>"pt.inventory='on' AND pt.type!='N/A'",'grouping'=>'pt.id','request' => 'i')
);

With this:

199
200
201
202
203
204
205
206

$subs = array(
'all' => array('label' => __('All','Shopp'),'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>'true'),
'published' => array('label' => __('Published','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pd.status='publish'",'request' => 'p'),
'draft' => array('label' => __('Draft','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pd.status='draft'",'request' => 'd'),
'onsale' => array('label' => __('On Sale','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pt.sale='on'",'request' => 's'),
'featured' => array('label' => __('Featured','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pd.id) AS total",'where'=>"pd.featured='on'",'request' => 'f'),
'inventory' => array('label' => __('Inventory','Shopp'),'total' => 0,'columns' => "count(distinct pt.id) AS total",'where'=>"pt.inventory='on' AND pt.type!='N/A'",'grouping'=>'pt.id','request' => 'i')
);

Hopefully this will be included in a future version of Shopp.
