hideCategories

[DivaVocals]

<rant>Unfortunately most of the folks who've downloaded this new version have not provided ANY feedback (which I NEED to troubleshoot problems before submitting this to the Zen Cart downloads).. The closest thing I've gotten to feedback is the proverbial "it didn't work" **sigh**</rant>

That said, I wanted to publicly thank X@vier for REALLY testing the new version of hideCategories.. He will be along to post his feedback soon I hope..

So if you are interested in trying out the updated version of hideCategories, PM me and I will guide you through where to get it..

PLEASE POST FEEDBACK (positive or negative) here.. I need to hear from folks to KNOW if there are any issues..

So I've compiled a new version of hideCategories. Here's the changelog:

• updated files to reflect changes in Zen release 1.3.9d.
• Incorporated the following posted modifications in to the codebase:
  
  • Add Hidden Categories code to What's New sidebox
    
    • http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=256
    
    
  • Add Hidden Categories code to Site Map & Customers Who Bought center box
    
    • http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...2&postcount=94
    
    
  • Add Hidden Categories code to Categories Tab
    
    • http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=195
    
    
  • Included a modified includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_document_product_info_display.php template specifically for hidden products. This template removes the top and bottom "Next" and "Previous" navigation buttons as well as the category link/image without compromising regular products. Requires using "document-product" product type to create your hidden categories.

I've tested it on my own site and it works great, but I'd like other folks to test it before I submit it to the downloads section.. If you are interested in testing, please PM and I'll get you a copy of the new fileset. I may also include files and/or instructions for using hideCategories with the Improved Sitemap module..
