I'm looking for a way to not display the list of categories down the side of a single page.

The reason is we've put together a list of non-profit rescue organizations and don't want to have our "buy our stuff" right in their face.

Here's the page I need to change "https://loveofthehorse.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=14"

It would be ok to have our newsletter, blog, and information showing, just not the list of categories. My guess is that if I knew the right file I could filter with an if its not this page then display statement.

Thanks for any assistance

Just turn off the categories sidebox in admin--tools--layout boxes controller

Thanks,

Anne

Please could you tell me how to change the subcategories text to a different colour.

Ive found a place that changes the font to a different colour ....

/bof basic elements/
a img {border: none;}
a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {color:#444443;text-decoration:none;}

but it doesnt just confine the change of colour to just the subcategories, a number of the categories change with it. I loaded firebug but I dont have any css knowledge and it isnt obvious what to change.

Wanting to do this because I have a category with a lot of subcategories.

Current live site is https://www.tidytoys.co.uk which displays the subcategories how I want
and my future upgraded version of this site using Sheffield Blue is at https://www.keel-toys.co.uk

Add a rule for a.category-products{color:your color;} to the stylesheet.css file.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you, that was a lot easier than I thought.

Please could you tell me if the template always displays 9 products or is there a setting in admin I have missed.

Also, one of the things I would like to do is display random chosen products (like my current live site).
Is that possible or is it a big change to coding to do this ?

Sue

This is all native zen cart functionality that the template does not effect at all. If you do a search of the forum you will find instructions on how to set the number of products shown and how to set up featured products. These questions are asked and answered all of the time.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you - the reason I ask is that I have changed all the settings I think might affect how many products appear on the main page and nothing has increased the number of products displayed and also occasionally I get a blank space where a product should be.

I can see what is happening ... if I change a products entry on the database to a recent date then it appears on the front page as a "new" product because only 9 of my products fall into either new, featured or specials.

I thought changing Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values to 0 would solve this but it doesnt cause all my products to display as new.

New Product Listing - Limited to ...
Limit the New Product Listing to
0= All Products
1= Current Month
7= 7 Days
14= 14 Days
30= 30 Days
60= 60 Days
90= 90 Days
120= 120 Days

As pointed out previously, this is not template specific (ie, belongs in some other thread.) Further that setting modifies information that has already been entered or is going to be entered. It doesn't suddenly bring back other items (from what I recall). The database location holding the information is the products_to_categories table and associating the product(s) to the desired category representing the desired group (new/featured/etc...). Any further discussion to this should betaken to a new or alternate thread...

Please could you help me with changing the lists of options that appear in the white space in the footer menu.

Ultimately I would like to end up with 2 central columns containing 5 options in each.

'Sitemap' would move to column 3 to replace 'Conditions of Use'.
Then everything in column 2 isnt needed, so I would like to move the contents of column 1 across to column 2.

I did swap try swapping 'Sitemap' and 'Conditions of Use' round in footer_menu_defines.php but this had no affect. I couldnt see any postings on this, although I could see a couple of websites where this had been done.

Yes, this is correct. You will need to edit the footer_menu_defines.php file and can use some css to hide the columns that you do not want to use.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you.

After you said that I had found the right place to do the change, I still couldn't see my changes showing up - then I worked out why ... there are some more lines right at the bottom of footer_menu_defines.php that also have to be changed in the section

/BOF Footer Menu Definitions/

Hi Ann, I'm having a big problem with spam and have partially resolved it by using the spam-catcher option in my cpanel. If you click the contact link on the site, it has all the contact info, so the only other thing I need to do is disable the pull-down menu.... that's what is causing the spam. I do not want to use Recaptcha, but if you could please let me know how to disable that pull-down it would be greatly appreciated. Love the template! Regards, Mitch

You can just remove the code in the includes/templates/override/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Wow, thanks for the quick response... that file did the trick!
