Try the file header_php.php file attached see if that works for you. This is unedited without any other mods installed. I take no credit or responsibility, backup your original first.Quote:

Thank you, but that didn't work either. It does cause the hidden categories to be excluded from the search results, but all other products are excluded as well.

Out of curiosity did you try to install this using a fresh install? Without seeing a particular error there is no way for me or anyone else try to resolve your problem! Do you have an error log with details that can show the possible reason it is failing?Quote:

I have other plugins installed but everything was fine till I added the hide categories module.
FYI, it's MORE helpful for the community if you post details about the issues you are having and the link to your site.. Saying "It's not working" or "I am having the same problem" without any details doesn't give folks much to go on.. Don't make folks guess what the issue is.. That said since this is hideCategories, unless there is some glaring error message we are going to see, it would help if you gave us details on what it is that is the issue with this add-on. If there is a category that should be hidden that is not, we have no way of knowing this unless you provide details of what it is we are going to see and what it is you think we should see..Quote:

Excellent Thanks so much
The readme has not been fully updated yet -- specifically the "Optional Install Files" section which had been replaced with a custom product type.. (will do that on Friday) but the add-on will work.. In place of the "Optional Install Files" hideCategories now includes files and a supporting SQL files for adding it's own "hidden" product type. This "hidden" product type is a clone of the general product type with the navigation buttons removed to prevent folks from paging through products in the hidden category.. I even include the scripts you need to run to convert existing product in the hidden category to use the new "hidden" product type..Quote:

Thank you sooooo much!!! I've been waiting on this for a long time!
If you've been waiting for this, you could have used it long ago with Zen Cart v1.5.x if you had made use of Winmerge..Quote:

Most of the "work" done in the upcoming version is in the files to support a "hidden" product type.. That took a fair bit of trial and error to get everything nailed down.. There is an FAQ that I used as a starting point, but there were many more little changes needed that the FAQ didn't cover that I had to run down to get it to work correctly..
Just wanted to let folks know.. again.. I will be creating a NEW hideCategories support thread when I submit the new version, and asking the admins to close this one.. This support thread is a bit long in the tooth, all of the "fixes" over the years to make this add-on fully support hiding categories in all of the default Zen Cart files have been implemented.. and as i said previously, the original author has made it clear that he no longer supports this mod and would like to be rid of this mod anyway :laugh:(which I can help out with by creating a new support thread..)
Stay tuned..
This is where I would have been completely lost.Quote:

I am replacing it because I realized that instead of using an existing default Zen Cart product type for hidden products that hidden products shouldprobably have their own product type..Quote:

If you are installing ANY add-ons for Zen Cart a file merging program like Winmerge or Beyond Compare is a MUST HAVE tool.. TONS of Zen Cart add-ons overwrite core files and many of the SAME core files.. You CANNOT install Zen Cart add-ons without a file merging program to make sure that you properly merge all the code changes they make.. A file merging program will help you to see where these differences are an put the modifications in their correct locations..
THIS module in particular REQUIRES a file merging program to install as it modifies MANY core files that are modified by/used by other add-ons.
I had read or I thought I had read about some issues on v1.51 not doing searches correctly. I use this for both online ordering and as an in store POS system. I have just enough knowledge to get myself into real trouble. I have been getting a second permanent test site up and running so now hopefully I can be a little less gun shy on trying to do trial and error. I have merged before several times. It's the little details that kill me when something doesn't go right as I get lost not knowing what symbols and what not actually does what. One day I'll have to take a class or something.
and this isn't an issue if you have a test/dev site setup to test any updates before applying the changes to your live store..Quote:

I can't search for the items and can't see them in the category sidebox.
Thank you
The Categories tab is already included in the hideCategories module.. (see the changelog, this was added in v2.00) Hidden categories should not appear in the categories tab..Quote:

I created a product called RCS gave it a description of RCS. On the test site I cannot search for RCS and find it. On the real site I can search for it and find it. Unfortunately on the test site I cannot find anything via search. I have recopied the files from the real site to the test site in the folders includes/modules/pages/advanced_search and includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result So I cannot find hidden or non hidden.

The problem is the search doesn't work at all. No matter what I search for on the test site I get no results. The live store search works. I can't figure out why it doesn't work on the test site. It not only doesn't work for hidden products that should be searchable it doesn't work for non hidden products. My only hidden product right now is in the category "Instore" and the Product is RCS. The problem is I cannot access it through the search page. But I cannot search any of the products either. The product RCS is found at http://onlineorder.southshorepizza.n...roducts_id=127 So I know it is active and on the site. I just cannot search and find it.
need the link to both the live and test site.. (edited to add: the link you provided above doesn't work) and to solve the issue you are going to need to use your file comparison program to compare your live site to your test site to see what's different between the two.. I don't use WinMerge so I don't know if it will allow you to do this directly from your host (Beyond Compare allows you to compare files from your host). If it doesn't allow you compare directly on the host, then you will need to download both sites and compare the files between the two..Quote:

If someone else wants to tackle this, they can feel free to do so.. In the meantime I will submit the updated fileset that works with Zen Cart v1.5 with this caveat clearly documented..

Regardless of hidden or not I get 0 results on the test site. Almost like the code is broken. However when I put the original zen-cart v 1.5.1 header_php.php file back on the test site I still cannot get any results. Perhaps if your search works you could post the entire file? Maybe that could help resolve it. I'm stumped since neither file works.

It is in fact BOTH files that are the problem.. For different reasons as the edits to these files serve a different purpose..Quote:

Make the following change to includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php
The code in the includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/header_php.php does not work at all.. Still don't know why, and unless someone else has the answer for how to get this to work, I will not be including it in the next hideCategories release..Code:// Begin hideCategories code
list($nada, $mycpath)= split('=', $box_categories_array[$i]['path']);
$mycid = split('_', $mycpath);
$cat_to_check = array_pop($mycid);
$hide_status = $db->Execute("select visibility_status

WHERE categories_id = " . $cat_to_check . "
LIMIT 1");
if ($hide_status->fields['visibility_status'] < 1) {
// End hideCategories code
I have the site up and running fine. I used the original header_php.php and the tpl_advanced_search_default.php I did not upload. The search feature works fine. I am not using the hidden direct link only feature so this works great for me as is. I just wanted to post the problem I found in case anyone else might happen to run into this and search for an answer.
Thank you very much for all your help on this though!!! It was much appreciated!
As long as you understand that by NOT using the tpl_advanced_search_default.php your hidden categories are seen in the categories dropdown on the Advanced Search page..Quote:

Sure.. the issue is with the categories sidebox code though, making the change to the categories sidebox I posted solves the issue with the includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php file though (no changes needed to this file).. just so you know.. It seems simple enough to do.. Your choice though.. glad you have it all working..Quote:

I'm wanting to have wholesale discounted products in a hidden category so a user would have to know a private link to get there.
I also thought it would be useful to have "pre-release" products in another hidden category so I could have them ready to go, and just move them over when the product is available. I know there are other ways to do that last bit.
Thanks in advance.
I am using it with 1.5.1 with no issues.
How can i include hidden categories in XML Sitemap?
I do not think this is possible them being hidden. It kind beats the concept they are hidden? But I could be wrong and it be possible.Quote:

I have the categories set to "Hidden (direct link only)" so, according to the readme, this should protect the products from search. Otherwise, the categories do not appear in the menu.
To stop the problem temporarily, I have removed the search bar from the site, which will prevent the casual visitor from accidentally finding what they shouldn't via an on-site search. However, a power web user can still find products that they shouldn't by using a simple search string such as pastie site: australianbakery.com. If you try that search, you'll see a product named "Pack 11- 6 Cornish Pasties - EAST" Click the search engine link. That is a product that should ONLY be available to one of our business partners (Cape Foods)
Admitedly, only savy search engine users know about deep diving a whole domain. Clicking the "Cape Foods" link does not reveal everything in the whole Cape Foods category. Nevertheless, information about our business partners and pricing structures with them is revealed.
In conclusion, I need to solve two problems:
a) I need to ensure that the products within hidden categories don't come up via the on-site seach bar.
b) If possible, ensure the products within hidden categories don't come up via a search engine search.
- Version of hidecategories 2.1
- ZC ver 1.3.8A (yes, I know I need to upgrade to latest 1.5x -- after we get done with the Christmas rush.)
- Plugins / add-ons:
Throttled newsletters
UPS Shipping
Account Holders
Order Exporter
Export Shipping Information
- Zen-Cart Installed via one-click, years ago.
- PHP: 5.2.17 (Zend: 2.2.0)
- MySQL: 5.5.40-36.1-log
- We've been using hideCategories for about a year. Discovered this when some orders came in from routine customers who had found, and ordered what they shouldn't have. Then our partner showed us how he found them, without using his direct URL link, but by using on-site search.
- Customizations - changed email text to customers, email to admin, text displayed to customers when they check out.
Thank you for your help!

Hello, nobody?
Version 2.1 has the ability to hide category products from search.

I recently posted an issue I'm having Hide Categories here, and it was recommended I post in this thread. Have installed 2.2 in V1.54 in demo store and am unable to see the category visibility options when I close/reopen a new category. I would be glad to repost the whole thread here, if preferred. Thank you.
Update. Original need for HideCategories was to use EZ pages for navigation instead of categories. That is what is used in live store, and works great. Only needed to make these changes and have stopped trying to work out HideCategories issue.
- Uninstall HideCategories (maybe try at later date after demo store complete)
- Turn Off sideboxes/categories.php in layout controller
- Leave EZ Pages On
- Modify EZ Page title if needed. Mine now says CATEGORIES (includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ez_pages_definitions.php)
- Add/modify EZ Pages as needed, set sidebox in EZ page on or off as needed.
Thanks for the tip sparrowce.
Given the lack of response anymore to support inquiries on this add-on, I think it is not supported anymore. If you choose to install it, I think you're on your own.

I'm thinking this would be a good fit for a customer. They want a "5-pack" item that wouldn't appear in listings, etc. So far so good.
The question is, do you know if they would we be able to use the Quick Order plugin to directly access the item? We're actually driving the sales on this project by the customer having "Buy 1 Now" and "Buy 5 Now" buttons on their site, which then leads directly to the ZC cart page via QO.
Dunno.. Never tried this with the "Quick Order" module, and since I'm not sure exactly how "Quick Order" works I cannot answer this question with any specificity. I can only suggest trying installing both and see if you get the desired result you are after.Quote:

So I went back to classic, re-installed hide-categories, and it works well with classic.
Just so the answer will be here for the next person, Quick Order does work with Hide Categories, at least in that it will allow you to add a single "hidden" item to the cart, then display the cart page. I didn't test it much beyond that since that's our application of it. I made a unique model number for the hidden item so there would only be one choice for QO to select.Quote:

I tried advance_search_result page code that came in module and it caused search function to stop on my site. For each keyword it shows no matching product found. Any idea who to merge this file or fix this issue?
If you continue to have problems with this plugin you may want to try CSAR - https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1234 - which gives you even more flexibility. The mod has been recently updated.Quote:

Please ask question about CSAR in the support thread for CSAR.. If you have a specific question regarding hideCategories, then this is indeed the right place to ask..Quote:

Hello
having trouble with the addon:
- did a proper instal, I did run the sql command, open and saved the categories (and subcategories within them) ... now when I use the search box for a product that is not hidden, I get the following message

Change header_php.php line 249 from: AND p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id ";

save and publish, totally works

Just patching the plugin into my site, a major upgrade from 1.3.9h to 1.5.5d.
Supposedly only one file in the /includes... folder is to be edited...
includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/header.php - No problem with that.
Then came on this one...
includes/classes/sitemap.php which appears to have a small patch that's not flagged but seems to refer to Hide Categories, thus:-
from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c LEFT JOIN "
. TABLE_HIDE_CATEGORIES . " h ON (c.categories_id = h.categories_id), "
. TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
where (h.visibility_status < 2 OR h.visibility_status IS NULL)
and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id
So, patch or not? Any suggestions welcome.
If you are upgrading and did your backup/restore of database, you don't need to run again the patch.
Download page says this works on version 1.5.5 - I am using ZenCart 1.5.5d - Does That Matter?
This appears to be a great contribution at first glance, but I am thoroughly getting frustrated with it. All seems to be fine until I upload this file to my webserver: includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php. After this file is loaded all of the content below the header and logo area disappears. Merging files together does not help to alleviate this problem either. Can someone please help me figure out why it is doing this? Also, if it helps, I am using a modified version of responsive_classic. Is the responsive part throwing a stick in the spokes or is it something else? Admin function appears to work fine, it's just the front end that appears to be jacked up. Thanks for helping in advance.

admin/categories.php
The most recent version of this addon still contains the line ;
I don't think recent versions (>= 1.5.6) of Zen have that file.Code:require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'prod_cat_header_code.php');
Attached is a version of categories.php that is working for me at the moment. Just a hacked together version of previous code in a way that doesn't conflict. Still developing the site so I guess I may come up with other glitches.
Site url is pfcind.com, 1.5.6c, plugins are lightbox, easy populate, Newsbox Manager. Testimonials Manager, php 7.2,
This is my first post and I sincerely apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere, I have searched and have not been able to find anything that specifically addresses this question.
I would like to know if there is a "built in" function to hide ezpages unless authorized to login?
With respect to Customer Details under the View Shop and Prices along with Authorization Pending: 2= May browse but no prices unless logged in & 2= May browse but no prices unless Authorized.
As a result customers must login to view prices and must be authorized to view those prices. I would like to have content exclusive to authorized customers only.
Again, I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I cannot locate. I greatly appreciate your help.
I do not believe there is a built in function to do what you want. I'd have a look in the 'plugins' section to see if anyone has solved that already. If not then you will probably need to hire someone to write some code for you. It is not a huge job :-)
You may have more luck with this question if you start a new thread because this thread is for a particular plugin.
(is that 'Yourstore' theme?)
Thank you very much for your response. I will start a new thread. I checked the plugins but could not find anything. And Yes, that is a YourStore template.Quote:

The module will give access only to certain customers to certain categories. You can also combine it with Dual Pricing for more control on pricing for those specific customers.
We worked something similar for a customer. Any info, send PM.
I am running 1.5.7c and installed the downloaded ZIP files. All worked fine and I could make an existing Category hidden. However, when I tried to create a new category I got an error at the bottom of the page saying:Quote:

The error in my log is:
PHP Fatal error: 1064:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 4 :: select visibility_status
FROM zen_hide_categories
WHERE categories_id =
LIMIT 1 ==> (as called by) on line 419 <== in /home/www/mysite.org/store/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 170.
Since I had downloaded the revised CATEGORIES.PHP mentioned in this post, I sent NICCOL a message and he replied with the following suggestion (which appears to have solved the problem).
=====
Try replacing this:
Code:
//Begin hideCategories code
$sql = "select visibility_status
FROM " . TABLE_HIDE_CATEGORIES . "
WHERE categories_id = " . $cInfo->categories_id . "
LIMIT 1";
$hide_status = $db->Execute($sql);
switch ($hide_status->fields['visibility_status']) {
case 1:
$hide_category_normal = false;
$hide_category_nomenu = true;
$hide_category_hidden = false;
break;
case 2:
$hide_category_normal = false;
$hide_category_nomenu = false;
$hide_category_hidden = true;
break;
default:
$hide_category_normal = true;
$hide_category_nomenu = false;
$hide_category_hidden = false;
break;
}
With this:
Code:
if($cInfo->categories_id > 0) {
$sql = "select visibility_status
FROM " . TABLE_HIDE_CATEGORIES . "
WHERE categories_id = " . $cInfo->categories_id . "
LIMIT 1";
$hide_status = $db->Execute($sql);
switch ($hide_status->fields['visibility_status']) {
case 1:
$hide_category_normal = false;
$hide_category_nomenu = true;
$hide_category_hidden = false;
break;
case 2:
$hide_category_normal = false;
$hide_category_nomenu = false;
$hide_category_hidden = true;
break;
default:
$hide_category_normal = true;
$hide_category_nomenu = false;
$hide_category_hidden = false;
break;
}
}
It should be noted that this plugin has not been updated since 2016.
I am not involved in its maintenance and have no responsibility for it.
Make your own choices people.
Any of you ZenMasters interested in upgrading this to 1.5.7c and if so how much do you want to do it?
Hi, I'm working on an update for this, and it's practically done, I just need few things fixed/done to pack it and upload, and I need help because I'm not a coder:
One of them is that this module uses the old folder icon images to display the folders "faded" and now since they are font-awesome icons that look opened while hovering, I don't know how to, either: change the icon color for the "hidden categories", or change the icon to something else to identify them on the list. :sadwalk:
I didn't find any documentation on the wiki about this. :blink: Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe: @swguy @lat9 @DrByte
