Hide categories that all products are out of stock

[crbwi]

Hello:-D, I have a question, need to hide the categories that all products are out of stock ( 0 stock), Is it possible to do that automatically? not want to disable the categories because google can not access, I just want to hide.

 I've found a way to hide products with 0 stock, but not the categories.
 

Thanks :-D

in this case it is necessary to hide categories links, the questions is: where you've got these links? blockcategories ? top horizontal menu? it will not be as easy as it seems, unfortunately

ok, here is the solution:

 

open file: /modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl paste there this code: 

{if $node.productsCount > 0}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		<ul>
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>
{/if}

and then, open: /modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php

 

instead of this:

	public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
	{
		global $link;

		$children = array();
		if (isset($resultParents[$id_category]) AND sizeof($resultParents[$id_category]) AND ($maxDepth == 0 OR $currentDepth < $maxDepth))
			foreach ($resultParents[$id_category] as $subcat)
				$children[] = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $subcat['id_category'], $currentDepth + 1);
		if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
			return false;z
		return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
					 'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
					 'children' => $children);
	}

use:

	public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
	{
		global $link;

		$children = array();
		if (isset($resultParents[$id_category]) AND sizeof($resultParents[$id_category]) AND ($maxDepth == 0 OR $currentDepth < $maxDepth))
			foreach ($resultParents[$id_category] as $subcat)
				$children[] = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $subcat['id_category'], $currentDepth + 1);
		if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
			return false;
        $productsCount = (int)Db::getInstance()->getValue('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product WHERE id_category = '. $id_category);
		return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
					 'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
					 'children' => $children,  'productsCount'=>$productsCount);
	}

Hello, thank you very much for your answer :rolleyes:

open file: /modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl paste there this code: 

{if $node.productsCount > 0}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && ($node.id == $currentCategoryId)}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		<ul>
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if isset($smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch) && $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>
{/if}

and then, open: /modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php

 

instead of this:

	public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
	{

		if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
			return false;z
		return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
					 'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
					 'children' => $children);
	}

use:

	public function getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $id_category = 1, $currentDepth = 0)
	{
		global $link;

		$children = array();
		if (isset($resultParents[$id_category]) AND sizeof($resultParents[$id_category]) AND ($maxDepth == 0 OR $currentDepth < $maxDepth))
			foreach ($resultParents[$id_category] as $subcat)
				$children[] = $this->getTree($resultParents, $resultIds, $maxDepth, $subcat['id_category'], $currentDepth + 1);
		if (!isset($resultIds[$id_category]))
			return false;
        $productsCount = (int)Db::getInstance()->getValue('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product WHERE id_category = '. $id_category);
		return array('id' => $id_category, 'link' => $link->getCategoryLink($id_category, $resultIds[$id_category]['link_rewrite']),
					 'name' => $resultIds[$id_category]['name'], 'desc'=> $resultIds[$id_category]['description'],
					 'children' => $children,  'productsCount'=>$productsCount);
	}

 

In this method duplicates the categories . And not hide empty categories, O_O why that may be?, Ahh, the counter does not appear.

 

try this

And in this way I get the counter products but not display the subcategories.
 

 

Attached are my two unchanged files so you can see them.

Greetings and many thanks for helping :)

Solution is easy. You must go to the back office, when you create new product or editing existing one check in category tree all categories and subcategories where this product belong.

 

Like this:

 

Category 1

--Subcategory 1

----Product 1

----Product 2

--Subcategory 2

Category 2

Category 3

 

In this case PRODUCT 1 belongs to Subcategory 1 and Category 1 and you must check both in category tree.

What? I do not understand. What this does is show the products in all categories. not?

[pawlo884]

You change the code and now empty categories and subcategories are hide automatically. You must assiociate some products to categories.
