Catalog Manager - Get child catalog items ?

[kdim95]

Laravel framework version: 9.47.0
Aimeos Laravel version: ~2022.10
PHP Version: 8.2.1
Environment: Linux

Hello,

What's the best way to get the child catalog items in Catalog Manager search results?

My code:

Code: Select all

$catalog_manager = \Aimeos\MShop::create( $this->context, 'catalog' );
$catalog_items = $catalog_manager->search( $catalog_filter ); // Catalog children missing here

I want to be able to use getChildren() on each item inside $catalog_items, but the result is always empty.

I came up with this, since the items have a catalog.parentid.
The function gets the catalog items which have a matching catalog.parentid.

Code: Select all

$catalog_manager = \Aimeos\MShop::create( $this->context, 'catalog' );
$catalog_items = $catalog_manager->search( $catalog_filter );

$catalog_item_children = getCatalogChildren( $catalog_items, $catalog_items->first() );

function getCatalogChildren( $catalog_items, $catalog_item )
{
	return $catalog_items->filter( function($value, $key) use($catalog_item) {
		return $value->getParentId() == $catalog_item->getId();
	} );
}

The getTree() method is the only one that fetches the children and returns a tree structure:

Use the frontend controller if you need to fetch categories for the frontend:
