[SOLVED] Major issue - sub-category products showing in root category

[akparade]

Hey - I have 12 products on my site as testers they are ALL just in:

 

Mens > T Shirts

 

but... they are also showing in Mens root, too.

 

This is a major issue and i'm yet to find out how to sort this. Can anyone look at this? Must be a bug or something?

[Mike Kranzler]

Hi akparade,

When you add a product, you can select under which categories it is listed here. Can you please post a link where I can see this for myself?

[akparade]

Sure.

Are you going to say it needs to have "home" selected?

[Dh42]

If you want to fix it globally in your categories.tpl file delete the reference to products-list.tpl

[akparade]

Surely you shouldn't have to do that, though? Will that actually just delete it for the root? I don't see how.

[Mike Kranzler]

Sure.

Hi akparade,

Thanks for clearing that up. That is actually completely normal behavior for PrestaShop, if you don't want them to show up there you'll likely need to do code customizations as DesignHaus42 suggested above.

It's actually really easy now you've thought of that, DesignHaus42. However, how do I hide from multiple categories? I have hidden just the one root (Mens) at the moment with the below code:

 

   {if $category->id !== 5}
 {include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}
 <div class="cattopsorting">
  {include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl"}
  {include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl"}
  <div style="clear: both;"></div>
 </div>
 {include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$products}
   {/if}

[Dh42]

You will manually have to add the category ids to your statement. There is no way to dynamically add them unless you reverse your if statement to make the default to hide them.

[akparade]

I know, I've put it to show everything in that IF tag if it's any category but the Mens root (ID of 5) - I just need one more category with ID of 17 to to be added to it to not show the product-list etc

[Dh42]

{if $category->id !== 5  or  $category->id !== 17}

should work.

[akparade]

Unfortunately that doesn't work.

[Dh42]

Copy the exact same statement and paste it below the original, just replace the 5 with 17 on the new one.

[akparade]

I may not be understanding you correctly, but this is what I have and it doesn't work?

 

   {if $category->id !== 17  or  $category->id !== 5}
 {include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}
 <div class="cattopsorting">
  {include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl"}
  {include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl"}
  <div style="clear: both;"></div>
 </div>
 {include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$products}
   {/if}

[akparade]

works with AND instead of or

 

 

sorted.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

Hi, i have spent the whole day searching for an answer to this question, finally I gave up and tried to figure it out in the code.

 

I commented one line in the categorycontroller.php file in the Productlistassign function:

 

 

//Module::hookExec('productListAssign', array('nbProducts' => &$this->nbProducts, 'catProducts' => &$this->cat_products, 'hookExecuted' => &$hookExecuted));

 

And now my parentcategories only show the products connected to them and not the products in my subcategories.

 

Have no idea if it gives some consequences but i´m taking a chance and i can continue to work on my shop

On the other side, i want this to happen (subcategory products showing on main category) but it doesn't do it, any help?

Already did you guide above but di product list still display on main category.!! pls! on ps 1.5.1

 

public function assignProductList()
{
 $hookExecuted = false;
 Hook::exec('actionProductListOverride', array(
  'nbProducts' => &$this->nbProducts,
  'catProducts' => &$this->cat_products,
  'hookExecuted' => &$hookExecuted,
 ));
 // The hook was not executed, standard working
 if (!$hookExecuted)
 {
  $this->context->smarty->assign('categoryNameComplement', '');
  $this->nbProducts = $this->category->getProducts(null, null, null, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay, true);
  $this->pagination((int)$this->nbProducts); // Pagination must be call after "getProducts"
  $this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);
 }
 // Hook executed, use the override
 else
  // Pagination must be call after "getProducts"
  $this->pagination($this->nbProducts);
 $this->context->smarty->assign('nb_products', $this->nbProducts);
}
}

It is because you have the "Layerd navigation" installed.

If you uninstall it, products will only show in the category you assigned them to

[desudura]

don't need to uninstall it. just modules->layered navigation and "Show products from subcategories" set to no, save and you're done
