How To Get Sub Categories in Magento ?`
Do this instead :
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load('23')->getChildrenCategories();
and iterate over the result.
and that's how i found it out:
$object = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
print_r(get_class_methods($object));
print_r($object->load('23')->getChildrenCategories()->toArray());

I am playing with magento's home page where I have created a tab Which Shows all the categories including Root, categories, and Sub Categories (In One Tab). Now I want to Show Only Main Categories( Whose Parent Is Root) in main Tab And under Each Category I want to List Their respective Sub Categories. I wrote The following Code to achieve a part of this,
MODEL CLASS
public function getsubCategory($parent) { $subcategoryCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category') ->getCollection() ->addAttributeToFilter('parent_id', $parent); return $subcategoryCollection;
BLOCK CLASS
protected function b4Html_subcategory($parent) { $catModel = Mage::getModel('Pragtech_Sweet/category'); $mysubCategory = $catModel->getsubCategory($parent); $this->mysubCategory = $myCategory; return $mysubCategory; }
TEMPLATE FILE
$obj = new Pragtech_Sweet_Block_Category(); $collection = $obj->b4Html(); foreach ($collection as $category) { $name = $category->getName(); $parent = $category->getParent_id(); foreach ($obj->b4Html_subcategory($parent) as $subcategory) { $subname = $subcategory->getName(); //Here Will Go Ther Code For Sub Categories }
but it doesn't work.. I am unable to understand where I am doing wrong... Can anyone help me out
