How to create new category without displaying it's link?

I would like to create a new category but I don't want the link for that new category to appear in the categories sidebox. I want to place its link to other place.

Is it possible to disable that new category link from the categories sidebox? Thank you.

There's a 'Hide Categories' mod in Downloads, but I'm not sure how it works.

It would function to hide the new category from everybody except customers you give the link to (if any). It might be overkill for this application, though - you just want the category name to not appear in the sidebox, if I understand correctly.

For that you could edit /includes/templates/your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php. Find this near the top:```php
if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
// skip if this is for the document box (==3)
} else {

and add

$box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 23 or

to the if statement to get```php
    if ($box_categories_array[$i]['path'] == 23 or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
      // skip if this is for the document box (==3) 
    } else {

Change 23 to the cPath for your category.
This code will skip display of that category in the categories sidebox.
