All Categories with filter

Question

I have searched many time for this problem, but I have not found a solution for this feature. I will show all available categories from specific store view as a list on a single page. The feature now, I need a filter for this list like this page e.g. Order by ASC and Order by categories.

Have anyone a answer or a solution for me? Thanks.

As Arunendra said with the active filter you can go through them

This would get you all categories with a link to the category

<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
<?php if (count($_categories) > 0): ?>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach($_categories as $_category): ?>
            <li>
                <a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>">
                    <?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
                </a>
                <?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId()) ?>
                <?php $_subcategories = $_category->getChildrenCategories() ?>
                <?php if (count($_subcategories) > 0): ?>
                    <ul>
                        <?php foreach($_subcategories as $_subcategory): ?>
                            <li>
                                <a href="<?php echo $_helper->getCategoryUrl($_subcategory) ?>">
                                    <?php echo $_subcategory->getName() ?>
                                </a>
                            </li>
                        <?php endforeach; ?>
                    </ul>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php endif; ?>

Categories in magento doesn't have to Store relations ( because its used by stores ( store can point to subcategory as its root category for instance ) etc.. ) So any category you create it will be visible in all stores.

But is has attribute is_active ( which is store view scope ).

So to get the categories in specific store ( you need to make sure its not active in other stores )

and Filter with the attribute

->addFieldToFilter('is_active', 1)

Hope this help you.
