hideCategories

I do not believe there is a built in function to do what you want. I'd have a look in the 'plugins' section to see if anyone has solved that already. If not then you will probably need to hire someone to write some code for you. It is not a huge job :-)

You may have more luck with this question if you start a new thread because this thread is for a particular plugin.

(is that 'Yourstore' theme?)

Thank you very much for your response. I will start a new thread. I checked the plugins but could not find anything. And Yes, that is a YourStore template.

Thank you very much!

As a result customers must login to view prices and must be authorized to view those prices. I would like to have content exclusive to authorized customers only.

Probably Twitch Wholesale module might help you: Twitch Wholesale with Twitch Wholesale Attributes

The module will give access only to certain customers to certain categories. You can also combine it with Dual Pricing for more control on pricing for those specific customers.

We worked something similar for a customer. Any info, send PM.

The most recent version of this addon still contains the line ;

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'prod_cat_header_code.php');

I am running 1.5.7c and installed the downloaded ZIP files. All worked fine and I could make an existing Category hidden. However, when I tried to create a new category I got an error at the bottom of the page saying:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

The error in my log is:

PHP Fatal error: 1064:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 4 :: select visibility_status
FROM zen_hide_categories
WHERE categories_id =
LIMIT 1 ==> (as called by) on line 419 <== in /home/www/mysite.org/store/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 170.


Since I had downloaded the revised CATEGORIES.PHP mentioned in this post, I sent NICCOL a message and he replied with the following suggestion (which appears to have solved the problem).

=====

Try replacing this:

Code:

		//Begin hideCategories code
		$sql = "select visibility_status
				FROM " . TABLE_HIDE_CATEGORIES . "
				WHERE categories_id = " . $cInfo->categories_id . "
				LIMIT 1";
		$hide_status = $db->Execute($sql);
		switch ($hide_status->fields['visibility_status']) {
			case 1:
				$hide_category_normal = false;
				$hide_category_nomenu = true;
				$hide_category_hidden = false;
			break;
			case 2:
				$hide_category_normal = false;
				$hide_category_nomenu = false;
				$hide_category_hidden = true;
			break;
			default:
				$hide_category_normal = true;
				$hide_category_nomenu = false;
				$hide_category_hidden = false;
			break;
		}

With this:

Code:

    if($cInfo->categories_id > 0) {
      $sql = "select visibility_status
          FROM " . TABLE_HIDE_CATEGORIES . "
          WHERE categories_id = " . $cInfo->categories_id . "
          LIMIT 1";
      $hide_status = $db->Execute($sql);
      switch ($hide_status->fields['visibility_status']) {
        case 1:
          $hide_category_normal = false;
          $hide_category_nomenu = true;
          $hide_category_hidden = false;
        break;
        case 2:
          $hide_category_normal = false;
          $hide_category_nomenu = false;
          $hide_category_hidden = true;
        break;
        default:
          $hide_category_normal = true;
          $hide_category_nomenu = false;
          $hide_category_hidden = false;
        break;
      }      
      
    }

It should be noted that this plugin has not been updated since 2016.

I am not involved in its maintenance and have no responsibility for it.

Make your own choices people.

Any of you ZenMasters interested in upgrading this to 1.5.7c and if so how much do you want to do it?

Hi, I'm working on an update for this, and it's practically done, I just need few things fixed/done to pack it and upload, and I need help because I'm not a coder:

One of them is that this module uses the old folder icon images to display the folders "faded" and now since they are font-awesome icons that look opened while hovering, I don't know how to, either: change the icon color for the "hidden categories", or change the icon to something else to identify them on the list. :sadwalk:

I didn't find any documentation on the wiki about this. :blink: Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe: @swguy @lat9 @DrByte

A new version of Hide Categories has been submitted and is pending of approval.
