hideCategories

You mean like the link in the post above yours? :)

Seriously, you are only going to be able to see the effect of the mod by having admin access to a site, or the site owner giving you a link to a hidden category on their site.

And how am I suppose to know if their is a link or if the one above my post works unless I ask?

is this 1.3.8 compatible? I installed and set a category to hidden from menus but it still shows up.

Probably :)

I have no plans to upgrade to 1.3.8 just to find out. But I would think the answer is yes - looking at the list of changes there doesn't seem to be anything related to categories views. Although, I admit I skimmed.

yep, it is actually, I missed renaming one of the folders to my template name.

I am getting an error on my left navigation...

1054 Unknown column 'cPath' in 'where clause'
in:
[select visibility_status FROM zen_hide_categories WHERE categories_id = cPath LIMIT 1]

any help would be appreciated

[s_mack]

For some reason your cPath variable is being presented literally instead of showing the value of the variable "cPath". Probably a conflict with another mod you have installed. Maybe something SEO related. Good luck.

Ahhh, you're right..
I had a ul list mod on my left nav

Got this mod working ... it is *perfect* for what I needed it for. Howevor, upon installing it my layout changed and I have not been able to fix it.

What I *had* was 4 column categories 4 column product listings ..... once I installed the hidden category mod suddenly my column ability for products went away and no matter what i changed it still listed 1 product per row. I adjusted my settings so it looks like I meant it now (lol) but I'd still like to get my 4 across for my product listings.

I'm *thinking* somehow it changed something in the coding that the configuration: product listing settings won't overide?

www.badgersden.com - Once you get past the categories in to the products you'll see that they are listed by row now .... not quite what I am wanting. Advice please?? :)

I don't readily see what could be causing any difference in display of the product listings... but then again, I didn't know you COULD list the products 4x :)

Probably one of the template files... try comparing to the originals and see if you can spot it. I looked at the two module files and I can't see those changes affecting anything... they just hide.

[badgersden]

Just to clarify .... I meant that my products listed across 4 to a row -- not 4 x per product

What / where do I compare? I'm still rather new to all this.
