Hello and thank you for help!
I have a problem with display submenu with subcategories.
I need to get object of parent category with list of subcategories this parent category.

For example, in this topic written, how can I get object of parents category - www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/28957-solved-show-parentcategory-in-category-item-php#102987
But this objects hasn't array of subCategories, like a main category in object $this.

Please, help me to get list of subCategories in object, how I get within this code

Or help me to get full object of K2 category by ID.

Or how can I get list of siblings category to my $this category.

Thank you for help!

Hello Elena,

On which view do you want to achieve this, and b) do you have any visual representation?

It can be handled through a lot of ways eg: a menu, db queries etc...

I have a menu of categories (top block with icons). I made It with use only html, because design did not supported by k2 tools module and I use this part In all pages

Next I have a list of subcategories (H1 and grey blocks next). In first screen It's okay.

And in next screen - I want use list of siblings categories and list of items of this category.


I can't use menu K2 tools, because it's dinamic information into the component K2 ans I have sctructure Main category -> Subcategories.

But can you help me with db queries, how can I get categories by ID?

Thank you so much!

Actually there is a much easier solution.
You can create mod_menu overrides and display menus instead of the K2 Tools module.

Mod_Menu supports images, and you can aliases instead of duplicating the menu structure which can harm your URL structure.
