Pass Category's attribute in url and display Products

Question

Background :

I am displaying sub-categories of category in Json format once we pass category's attributecode in url as in link : sitename.com/script.php?attributeCode=T_SHIRT

Note : I created categories & products using Ultimate Module Creator custom module

<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app();

$yourCategory = Mage::getModel('ultimate_mars/category');
if(isset($_REQUEST["attributeCode"])){
    $categryCode = $_REQUEST["attributeCode"]; /*  category code */
    $yourCategory = $yourCategory->load($categryCode,"producttype");
}
else{
    $yourCategory = $yourCategory->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter("parent_id",1)->getFirstItem();    
}
/* Getting subcategory of requested category code */
$cat_model = Mage::getModel('ultimate_mars/category');
$_categories = $cat_model->getTreeModel()->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter("parent_id",$yourCategory->getId());

$category = array();
foreach($_categories as $_category)
{
    $category[] = array("name" => $_category->getCategoryname(), "id" => $_category->getEntityId());
}

echo json_encode($category);

Requirement :

But for some categories, there are no sub-categories, example : Men.... So In this case, i want to display Products of Men Category

means if i pass Men Category's attributeCode as link : sitename.com/script.php?attributeCode=MEN_T_SHIRT , than It should display its Products information (name, id) in JSON format....

Please try this code

<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php');
Mage::app();

$yourCategory = Mage::getModel('ultimate_mars/category');
if(isset($_REQUEST["attributeCode"])){
    $categryCode = $_REQUEST["attributeCode"]; /* Your requested category code */
    $yourCategory = $yourCategory->load($categryCode,"producttype");
}
else{
    $yourCategory = $yourCategory->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter("parent_id",1)->getFirstItem();    
}
$childLevel = (int)$yourCategory->getData("categorylevel") + 1;
/* Getting subcategory of requested category code */
$cat_model = Mage::getModel('ultimate_mars/category');
$_categories = $cat_model->getTreeModel()->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter("parent_id",$yourCategory->getId());

$category = array();
if($_categories->count() > 0){
    foreach($_categories as $_category)
    {
        $category[] = array("name" => $_category->getCategoryname(), "id" => $_category->getEntityId());
    }
}
else{
    $products = $yourCategory->getSelectedProductsCollection();

    if($products->count() > 0){
        foreach ($products as $product) {
            $category["products"][] = array("name" => $product->getProducttitle(), "id" => $product->getEntityId());
        }
    }
}
echo json_encode($category);

If found subcategory then return subcategory json, if not found any subcategory then it's return category products.
