auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a new website building block that displays a tree of e-commerce product categories. You choose which categories appear and on which websites.
This module adds a "Product Category" block to the website builder, in the Content section of the snippet menu. Once dropped on a page, the block shows a tree of product categories with their images and links to the shop, up to five levels deep.
Which categories appear is controlled from the product category settings. Each category has a new toggle "Published in product category snippet". A category is only shown if it and all of its parent categories are switched on. There is also a field "Websites for category snippet" where you can limit a category to selected websites; leaving it empty shows the category on all websites. This field is only visible to users who manage multiple websites.
Both fields are added to the product category form and list views, so you can set them directly from the category screens.
On the website, the block loads the category tree from the server and displays a warning if no categories are found. The block is not editable by visitors, and its content is cleared before saving the page.

Theming
CSS Classes:
.categ_container\> The container per master category.categ_scroll_wrapper\> The scrollable container wrapper.categ_scroll\> The scrollable container.categ_tree_level\> The category row (image + text).main_tree_level\> The first category row level displayed.categ_link\> The link of the category row.categ_img\> The container of the icon of the category row
You can use 'data-tree-level' attribute to select the category row of a selected level (1-4 by design).
Also you can replace the entire template by setting the data-template attribute directly on the .js_product_category element, e.g. by inheriting the view where the snippet is placed:
<xpath expr="//div[hasclass('js_product_category')]" position="attributes">
<attribute name="data-template">my_module.my_custom_template</attribute>
</xpath>You only need know that the name of the variable that have all the categories is called object.
