    Default Hide subcategory in cat sidebox and centerbox view if 0 product in that category?

    The title pretty much explains it.

    If a category contains 0 product, do not show that category in the Category sidebox or the centerbox view.

    I've poured through code and options for hours and can't find anything. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

    Louis - thanks for the response. I believe that setting is used for if you have your category counts turned on, you have the option of showing "0" or not.

    I'd like to be able to hide the entire category from appearing if there is 0 product. Any ideas?

    Thanks again!

    Misty,

    Thanks for the link. That seems overly complicated and not really what i'm trying to do.

    I simply want a category/subcategory to not appear if there are no products currently active/loaded in it, without having to manually go in and activate/deactivate categories. I'm going to be working with a lot of categories and doing this manually would create way too much work.

    Thanks for the responses so far. I'm sure there's a way to do this

    Another question in addition to my original:

    Can the category sidebox:

    1) Not show the category if there is 0 product in the category

    2) _Only_ show subcategories in the category sidebox. I have two main Categories, we'll call them Cat1 and Cat2. I want to keep them separate. If you are in Cat2, you only see all subcategories under Cat2 in the category box. You would not see anything from Cat1 (not even the name 'Cat1') in the category box.

    Please say this is possible with reasonable effort :)
