hideCategories

[supersnow]

This mod is awesome!! I love it.. I even figured out how to password protect the categories using htaccess and sefu with access to different users woo

I was wondering though... when I search via the sidebox search the products in the category still show up. It doesnt with advanced search but with the sidebox.. how do I have it not show up in the sidebox search?

Hey CyberWoolf can you post your solution.

I'm quite in a hurry so I didn't have time to flip through the whole topic so hope anyone hasn't asked this yet.

Could it be possible to set all 0 qty products automaticly to hidden? Since we use social bookmarking mod it would be useful to have those products around even though they'd be sold out but still hidden from the menu..

Yes, that's possible. But, of course, just about anything is :)

It would clearly have to be modded and it wouldn't be that simple of a mod but I'm sure you can do it.

Hi,

I just installed this mod on my ZC, which uses the Cherry Zen template. It works to hide the item (I made a Hidden Category, with 1 product in it) from searches and the "new items" listing, but in my Sidebox, the Hidden category is showing with 1 product in it. I tried all variations on the hidecategories setup to no avail, nothing I do seems to take this hidden category out of the sidebox even when I choose the totally hidden option.

If anyone can tell me what I must change to fix this, I'd be very very grateful!!!

Thanks,
Patrick

Sadly, I think all I can really say is to read the included readme file for instructions. You have to change something in your template probably.

Hi Steven,

Strangely, I was able to get it to work the proper way (item shows with direct link, but not in the sideboxes, searches, or in new items). But the workaround was strange. I had to first make the category hidden using HideCategories. Then turn the category off completely (giving a red icon). Then go into the category and manually turn on the 2 products in there (green icon). After that, and reloading the page, the category stopped showing up in the CherryZen sidebox and the items don't come up in searches or new products, but they still work for a direct link.

Best,
Patrick

ps--thanks for your contribution, helped me a lot.

Still thinking about this.. would it be hard to hide PRODUCTS from listings instead of the whole categories?

Poosk... Probably no harder, no... but a completely different mod as it affects totally different files. Its a good idea, but it won't be part of this contrib.

Eddie... can't really elaborate any more than what's in the readme. Follow it step-by-step. If there's a particular step that you're stuck on let us know but be specific.
