Exclude a specific category from Categories Block

[meserlian]

Hi, 

Trying to exclude a specific category (id 169) from the category block, but can't seem to figure it out.

will 'disabling' the category from the back office work for you?

[meserlian]

My Bad, 

 

I would like to disable from the left navigation, but still be able to access it from the top navigation.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

[vekia]

hello

you can do it only with template modification file.

let me know what ps version you use and what module version you've got

i will prepare code for you

[meserlian]

Hi Vekia,

 

That would be great!!

PS 1.5.6.0

Categories Block V2.0

 

-Garen

[vekia]

great!

 

here is the code:

{if $node.id != 20}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if}
		title="{$node.desc|strip_tags|trim|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		<ul>
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>
{/if}

code above {if $node.id != 20} means:

if category id is different than 20, then display link.

so the category with id will be hidden.

[meserlian]

That is Great. 

 

Does that go into the theme template folder or Module Folder?

[vekia]

if this file exists in your there directory, you have to edit this one 

(it's due to the overriding feature http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Overriding+default+behaviors#Overridingdefaultbehaviors-Overridingotherbehaviors )

great!

 

here is the code:

{if $node.id != 20}
<li {if isset($last) && $last == 'true'}class="last"{/if}>
	<a href="{$node.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($currentCategoryId) && $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if}
		title="{$node.desc|strip_tags|trim|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>
	{if $node.children|@count > 0}
		<ul>
		{foreach from=$node.children item=child name=categoryTreeBranch}
			{if $smarty.foreach.categoryTreeBranch.last}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
			{else}
				{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='false'}
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		</ul>
	{/if}
</li>
{/if}

code above {if $node.id != 20} means:

if category id is different than 20, then display link.

so the category with id will be hidden.

 

What if we want to exclude more than one category?

[vekia]

What if we want to exclude more than one category?

 

add additional conditions in if clause:

 

{if $node.id != 20 || $node.id !=21 || $node.id !=99 || $node.id=129} etc.

[lm59]

Hello,Thank you

 

{if $node.id != 11 }

{if $node.id != 11 AND $node.id != 13 AND $node.id != 14 AND $node.id != 15 }

 

Thank you

Im59, try this format:

 

{if $node.id != 11 AND $node.id !=13 AND $node.id !=14 AND $node.id !=15}

Hi Vekia

 

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

 

This is my category-tree-btanch.tpl and the underlined part is the code i added to bring the category image to the category block left. But currently 'categories with no image added' is displaying thumbnail with no image.i have attached that image with this. so i want to write a conditon so that if no image is added to the category only the category name should be shown and the thumbnail is not shown.

 

hope u understand the problem .Pls help me

Sorry im not able to upload that image an error msg is coming.I hope u got what i meant with the thumbnail with no image.

[neerajlm10]

hey

 

I did it for now with the condition {if $node.id!=3}.But can i get a general condition?

[vekia]

this is block categories, there is no images by default

im lost a little.

you use some customization of this module?

[bvtonline]

Can you help me please? 

- How to insert products from affiliate stores such as - amazon, ebay....?

- Did you know a module, where I can insert my ID from: amazon, ebay..... etc, and automatically insert products

[neerajlm10]

Hi everyone, my solution for Prestashop 1.6.x  si here:

 

1. I created 3 categories (with id 80, 81 and 82 as well)

 

2. I edited some lines in blockcategories.tpl file like this:

 

This:

<div class="block_content">
   <ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">
      {foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}
         {if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
            {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
         {else}
            {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child}
         {/if}
      {/foreach}
   </ul>
</div> 

To this:

<div class="block_content">
   <ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">
      {foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}
         {if $child.id !=80}
            {if $child.id !=81}
               {if $child.id !=82}
                  {if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}
                     {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}
                  {else}
                     {include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child}
                  {/if}
               {/if}
            {/if}
         {/if}
      {/foreach}
   </ul>
</div> 

Shape {if $child.id !=80 || $child.id !=81 || $child.id !=82} didnt work for me, but you can try it

 

This is not total cosher solution, but absolutly works  

[SaLiC]

This solution works perfectly on PS 1.6.1.6

Thank you very much.
