Remove Subcategories List From Category Page

[ShirtSeller]

Hey all - running a new install of 1.4.6.2. When a customer clicks on a category it normally lands on that category page and displays images and links of any subcategory and then all of the products below that. I want to remove that section that shows any subcategories and want it to look like a category with no subs.

 

Two attachments:

 

Remove sub shows the category that has sub cats (that I want to remove)

 

I would like it to look the same as a category with no subs (no sub cats image)

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi ShirtSeller,

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, you want to have subcategories created, but not visible within the parent category?

Hi Mike - yes, exactly!

[Mike Kranzler]

Hi ShirtSeller,

This will likely require some custom code changes, as it is not something programmed into PrestaShop by default.

[ShirtSeller]

That's what I thought. I thought I could just comment out some code in a tpl or php page but could night find the right spot.

[Mike Kranzler]

If you'd like, I'd be happy to get you set up with a developer who can help you out with this custom coding. If you're interested, just let me know.

[ShirtSeller]

Thanks Mike. I'll poke around a bit and let you know if I need to go in that direction.

[Mike Kranzler]

OK, good luck!

If I understand correctly, this is very easy..

Remove this part of the code from category.tpl

 

{if isset($subcategories)}
 <!-- Subcategories -->
 <div id="subcategories">
  <h3>{l s='Subcategories'}</h3>
  <ul class="inline_list">
  {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
<li>
 <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">
  {if $subcategory.id_image}
   <img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
  {else}
   <img src="{$img_cat_dir}default-medium.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
  {/if}
 </a><br />
 <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>
</li>
  {/foreach}
  </ul>
  <br class="clear"/>
 </div>
 {/if}

Thank you so much Joeri Vos, nice to see people helping each other rather than trying to make money.

 

I have learnt a lot from people like you, if I had to pay for everything I would never learn.

Hi

 

I am looking for another variation of this. Let me know if someone can help...

 

I need to display only some selected subcategories on the category page. So basically i want user to mark which subcategory appear on the parent category page and then based on that selection the selected subcategories appear for respective categories?

 

Please help

 

Thanks

[Ajax30]

In your theme, in the category.css find

#subcategories

and add

display:none

 

Example:

#subcategories {margin-top:15px; display:none;}

[flipe]

If you want remove the big one too, just put the same option there:

 

.content_scene_cat {
    padding:5px;
     display:none;
    border:1px solid #ccc;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #e2e2e2;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #e2e2e2;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #e2e2e2;
}

in my theme  there was not this code, i added this to my category.tpl and now all subcategories are correctly visible, except that they are placed in a single column,

 

there's a solution to divide in two or three columns?

thank you

[somits1]

Hi, 

 

This is Somit and running my site http://slmobileprice.com using prestashop v1.5.6.2 english. In this version this code not available.

 

In my site i want to hide categories from center (above product page). Whenever i click on Categories their subcategories also showing on product page. So could you please tell me how to hide subcategories from the product page.. 

 

Please check screen shot.

 

Thanks,

Somit 

[Danny Moreno]

Hey everyone,

you can always hide the sub-categories from the category page directly from your themes configurator option or if that's not working for ya, here's a little module that'll hide your sub-categories in your category page. Just install and enable, if you want to show them again just disable the module. If you have any issues with the module send me a message and i'll make any changes necessary. 

 

-Best regards

Thank you Joeri Vos

[therefinerz]

Works great, thanks for the tip Joeri Vos.

 

Didnt find the code. My .tpl code goes like this:

 

{if isset($subcategories)}

        {if (isset($display_subcategories) && $display_subcategories eq 1) || !isset($display_subcategories) }

<!-- Subcategories -->

<div id="subcategories">

<p class="subcategory-heading">{l s='Subcategories'}</p>

<ul class="clearfix">

{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}

<li>

                <div class="subcategory-image">

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">

{if $subcategory.id_image}

<img class="replace-2x" src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />

{else}

<img class="replace-2x" src="{$img_cat_dir}{$lang_iso}-default-medium_default.jpg" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />

{/if}

 

 

and if I delete these, my whole site vanishes. 

[kirancshet]

I am very late in here, but just in case if someone is interested, there is a tiny little hack you can do.

 

1. Login to the database. 

2. In the configuration table, check for PS_SET_DISPLAY_SUBCATEGORIES

3. By default it is set to 1. Change it to 0.

 

This will disable all the subcategories.

 

Thanks

Kiran
