[SOLVED] Removing Thumbnails of Sub Categories

[sheppy1]

Hi Guys,

 

Quick question regarding the sub category thumbnails that appear on the right when I click on a root category, I don't want them to appear as I think they look ugly, does anyone know how to disable them? I've attached an image in case you don't know what I mean, the bit circled in red is the bit I don't want to be there.

 

Thanks

Remove this section of code from category.tpl file

<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>

Thanks! that almost worked, it got rid of the square image placeholders but it left the text for the subcategories, I don't really want those either as all the navigation can be done from the sidebar, could you tell me what I need to remove to get rid of that text too? Thanks

[jhnstcks]

Then all the code for subcategories

{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>
<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}

[sheppy1]

Hmmmmmm, I don't seem to have all that code, should it definitely all be there or is it dependant on the theme?

[jhnstcks]

It is theme dependent, post your category.tpl file here

[sheppy1]

Ahhhh okay, here you go then

 

http://www.sendspace.com/file/i4pcgd

 

Had to upload to sendspace as I'm not permitted to upload it directly through here for some reason..

[jhnstcks]

Was thinking more like copy and paste the contents

[sheppy1]

Ahhhh I didn't think of that . Here you go then

That worked a charm thanks very much for that

[tdr170]

Just to post another note on this I removed mine by just changing 1 line of code.

Deleted nothing just added display:none.

 

Change this

 

<!-- Subcategories -->

<div id="subcategories">

 

 

To This

<!-- Subcategories -->

<div id="subcategories" style="display:none">

[sheppy1]

Okay thanks for that! I'll put the code back in again and try it that way, always feels better to not delete code if possible

[benjamin utterback]

Thanks jhnstcks, and tdr170 for the community assistance. Sheppy1, if you could let us know if turning the display:none also did what you are looking for. I will go ahead and mark this thread as solved. Thank you for choosing PrestaShop!

 

Sincerely,

 

Benjamin

[sheppy1]

Yes that worked and had the same effect as removing the code so thanks to everyone and the thread can be updated accordingly

The problem with doing it like this, is that the code is still parsed on the page i.e. the sub-categories are still on the page, just hidden by the display:none code. So it could slow the page down, by having to pare the code into the page, then having to hide it using the style code. Be better to remove the code completely.

[benjamin utterback]

Ah, yes I understand what you mean. It is essentially making your code heavier, which could make it slower to move. Thanks for the expert advice!

[sheppy1]

Ahhhhh okay then! I didn't realise that, if I start to develop problems then I'll just delete the code

[tdr170]

This code has always been part of the category.tpl file for some reason with 1.4.8 they turned on the sub categories by removing the style=display:none, take a look at 1.4.6 category.tpl and you will see what I mean.

[Bejo]

Thank for share ... but i can not find that file on prestashop 1.5.1

 

anyone know how to remove product Thumbnails at root category name?

 

example : Categories - > CHILD - Sub category 1. Boys 2. Girls.

 

when people click the child category, di product show up also at the bottom of category. and i want to know how to remove it, it's confusing there are products belows there.

 

already searching but not found yet

[steffann1]

hey guys is there any chance to keep the pictures for the first level subcategories and than get rid of the pictures of any subsequent second or third level subcategories? literaly getting rid of the pictures only for sub-sub categories.

Thanks

Hi Jhnstcks

 

I have tried removing this as i am also getting the small image. but each time i remove this code the page will not load and its giving a Server error. any help on this topic would be really great thanks.

[vekia]

if you've got server error, please turn on error reporting:

 

 

open config/defines.inc.php

 

find this line

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);

change to look like this:

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);
