    Default Hide "There are no products to list in this category"

    Is there a way to hide this message that appears for empty categories?

    Thanks

    In the admin under categories, click on the green dot for the category with no products. It will turn red. When you have products, click on it again to turn it green.
    A little help with colors.

    I believe this completely removes the category from the menu list. What I would like to do is just remove the message when no products are present in the category. I have other data that appears in the category listing in place of the products - see this example for the Accessories category -- http://prestonribbons.com/catalog/in...=index&cPath=2
    As you can see the message is a the bottom of this page because I have stuck a table with various products that don't fit the layout of the Ribbon Catalog which is the main part of the site.

    I do realize this is not exactly what the ZC developers have in mind for a database driven shopping cart, but this is the fastest/simplest way for me to add these products after having modified the product listing page to disallow additional description in another part of the cart eg the Ribbon Catalog.

    I'm open to other ideas.

    Thanks

    FYI - Found the text in includes/languages/english/index.php and killed it.

    If you don't save it in your wallet theme override it will disappear on upgrade.
