Hide category count -- on only ONE category

[dontknowwhatimdoing]

Tried this:

if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true' and ($this_is_home_page)) {
      $products_in_category = zen_count_products_in_category($counter);
      if ($products_in_category > 0) {
        $this->box_categories_array[$ii]['count'] = $products_in_category;
      } else {
        $this->box_categories_array[$ii]['count'] = 0;
      }
    }

And I tried this:

if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true' and $this_is_home_page !=true) {
      $products_in_category = zen_count_products_in_category($counter);
      if ($products_in_category > 0) {
        $this->box_categories_array[$ii]['count'] = $products_in_category;
      } else {
        $this->box_categories_array[$ii]['count'] = 0;
      }
    }

I also tried and $this_is_home_page == false

But nothing seems to work right. I'm not sure whether I need to compare "$this_is_home_page" to some global variable/ or what...

Say in english, and type really slow as I do not read very fast, what it is you want to do ...

Acceptable Scenario:
I was trying to achieve this: category counts DON'T appear on the home page, but category counts appear on all other pages

What DONTKNOWWHATIMDOING (<--me!) Was Trying to Do (What an Appropriate name!)
=>IF the page I am on is the home page, no category counts appear
=>If the page I am on is NOT the home page, show the category counts

It would be even better if I could somehow only have category counts appearing on pages showing at least 1 category level deep.

I wouldn't bother with the 'even better' scenario unless there was a simple way to do it.

You will want to use your templates and overrides for this ... I like to copy both peices even if I am only editing one of the files for consistancy:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/categories.php
/includes/templates/templates_default/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php

Copy to your overrides directory:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/categories.php
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php

Edit the file:
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php

Line 51 reads:

      if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true') { 

Change to read:

      if (SHOW_COUNTS == 'true' && !$this_is_home_page) { 

Now you see the counts when not on the Home page ...

It worked flawlessly (of course--you wrote it)

Thank you so much! You're a pro <= Sorry for telling you something you already know!

Heck ... I just type really really fast until the right letters fall together ... there are only so many combos and eventually I will hit it ...

Hello,

I am trying to find out how to turn off the category count for my products, Just the number that shows next to each product in the category box on the main page. I have set all quanity counts to (zero), But i must be missing one.

I know there is a way to do this without having to do code, Just using the configuration some were?

Thanks alot!

The only way I personally would know how to do this would be with a PHP conditional statement --

I don't know if that can be done without altering the core code (i.e. I don't think there's a simple box you can check to do that).

There's some posts about exactly what you're asking, I can't recall where they are though, so I don't have a link for you.
