First, I am new to OsCommerce and php programming (yes, a MS guy here). Recently, I am helping my friend to setup a web store using OsCommerce. Frankly, OsCommerce is a well-known open source web store. I don’t think I need to talk much here. When come to customization, I come across one requirement; change left category to a TreeView. I try to search on google but found nothing. But some post did mentioned OsCommerce itself already support treeview structure. We just need to change categories.php in “os\catalog\includes\boxes” to make it look like a treeview. Here is the outcome after some customization.
How to change it?
1. Download this source (zip) file and upload “treeview” folder into “os\catalog\images” folder.
2. Upload “categories.php” to replace the file in “os\catalog\includes\boxes”.
Hope this can benefit to anyone who need this features. Do let me know it got any bugs!

Hi,
I have some questions about your work on “Change OsCommerce category to Tree View”.
Can I use this for free (open source)?
Are there any copyrights from Microsoft, because the treeview looks like Microsoft Explorer.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
You can always changes the tree folder icon to other picture. Copyrights issue doesn’t exist in that case.

Impressive.
I would love to have this kind of menu. The one like Prestrashop is also superb. Looking for one.
