How to Remove Subcategories

[CnTGifts]

i want to remove subcategories from the main content window

http://www.cnt-gifts.com/collectibles-c-5.html

not the oens inthe category sidebox but in the right

Why would you want to do that? What would you want to happen when they click the top level category?

i just want the subcategories to show in the sidebox

/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php
comment or remove this section:

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->
<?php
/**
 * require the code to display the sub-categories-grid, if any exist
 */
   require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_category_row.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_category_row.php');
?>
<!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

Ok - backwards for a moment. :)

I would like to NOT display my subcategories in the category side box but I Do want them to appear on the page after they click the main category.

Does this make sense?

I did edit this part but I got an error right away

if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {


Can anyone help?


I would rather do it this way than with the flyout menu. (I think)

Ok, stupid me.

I was able to do it by editing this:

SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS

by removing the _SUBCATEGORIES part

..........it all makes perfect sense now. LOL.

Another happy zener here.. :) It did the trick to me too.. :)

There are two switches using these configuration_keys in the configuration table:
SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS
SHOW_CATEGORIES_ALWAYS

These control different things ...

I am not sure why you would be changing the code for them ...

You can locate them in your configuration settings by pasting them into the top input box in the Developer's Tool Kit and not selecting anything in the dropdown and clicking search ... then Edit on the next screen ...

Or, paste in the bottom input box and select Catalog from the dropdown and click search to see where they are used in the code ...

It is not a good plan to mix up the keys in the code when there are settings to control their usage in the configuration ...
