Get list of categories with urls

Hi again.

First of all, thank you for the great support you provide.

I would like to show a grid of the categories (maybe with their picture) on the frontpage of the shop.
How do i get a list of the categories pushed to catalog/home for instance?

What will be the best way to achieve this?

Sorry for all the questions, but i have never worked with something build as Aimeos is - only plain laravel.

Have a nice Christmas.

The catalog/home component already loads the categories of the first level so you have everything you need. You only have to overwrite the template in your own extension to adapt the layout to your needs:

Yes i was on to that.

I can't make much out of the template. What is homeTree for instance?
Is there a detailed documentation of the templates anywhere or do you know where i can learn more?

Sorry, i feel like a noob

homeTree is an instance of a catalog item:

You can get the child nodes using

Code: Select all

$item->getChildren()

The code is already in the template:
