How to display products subcategories in parent categories?

How to display products subcategories in parent categories?

Hello,

 

I would like show products subcategories in parent category but I don't check a parent category.

 

Because the parent category is empty.

 

Do you understand me?

 

Regards

Hi Em,

 

Please check below code:-

 

<?php
    $currentCat = Mage::registry('current_category');

    if ( $currentCat->getParentId() == Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId() )
    {
        // current category is a toplevel category
        $loadCategory = $currentCat;
    }
    else
    {
        // current category is a sub-(or subsub-, etc...)category of a toplevel category
        // load the parent category of the current category
        $loadCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($currentCat->getParentId());
    }
    $subCategories = explode(',', $loadCategory->getChildren());

    foreach ( $subCategories as $subCategoryId )
    { 

	$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategoryId);
	$category_id =$cat->getId(); // if you know static category then enter number
	$catagory_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategoryId); 
	$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection');
	$collection->addCategoryFilter($catagory_model); //category filter
	$collection->addAttributeToFilter('status',1); //only enabled product
	$collection->addAttributeToSelect(array('name','url','small_image')); //add product attribute to be fetched
	$collection->getSelect()->order('rand()'); //uncomment to get products in random order     
	$collection->addStoreFilter();          

	if(!empty($collection)){

	    foreach ($collection as $_product):?>

	      <a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl();?>"><?php echo $_product->getName();?>   </a>  

	<?php   endforeach;

	  }
     }
?>
