Hide one category in LH box

[gprit]

I've placed a SALE banner on the RH side of a website.

Don't want to also have a SALE category showing on the LH box so I created a blank category with the Sale sub-category below it. I thought I could then avoid that appearing on the LH side but as there are prefixes for the categories it show as > (blank).
How can I get rid of this?

It's kind of a kludge, but I have done this:

When you create the category, in the Category Name field, do something like this: <div class="hideme">Category Name </div>, then in the stylesheet: .hideme {display:none;}

The space where the name would be is still there, so you'll need to watch where you put it, sort order-wise.

That's a beautiful kludge - why didn't I think of that?

Another quick solution is to edit:

includes/templates/yourtemplate/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php

your looking for line about 32:

if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 ) {

change it to:

if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 
or $box_categories_array[$i]['name']=='name of category to skip') {

Many thanks - I changed the tpl_categories.php - worked fine.
