Category sidebox issue

Hi,

I wish to be able to not display a subcategory or category in the sidebox if there are no products to show.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Mike Cassidy

Re: Category sidebox issue

admin > config > layout settings > Categories with 0 Products Status

Or why create a category or sub-cat that has no products?

You can also create these and click the Green box next to them to toggle them to the "off" status

Re: Category sidebox issue

Hi Thanks, but, that admin setting had to do with displaying the counts. I want to totally eliminate the subcat or cat from the category list.

Why? my wholesaler updates their inventory several times a day. I have automated the update process with advanced easypopulate which seems to require the categories to exist before a new product can be imported. So I have created an entire category/subcategory list that covers my supplier's line.

Manually turning on and off the cats is a pain. I have over 4000 cats/subcats.

If it hasn't been built into Zen Cart, then the display count setting will be a good lead as to where I can go to change the code.

Again Thanks,
Mike Cassidy
