[SOLVED] - Show only categories & sub-categories on category page

[prestatent]

Prestashop 1.5.4.1

 

Hello

 

Is there a way to show only categories and sub-categories on the category.tpl and then when a category or sub-category is selected/clicked on, all the products for that category are shown. The reason I ask is that if I click on a top-level category, all the products under the top-level category are shown (which I don't want), rather than a list of categories to choose from. Is there an easy way to amend the template file, or is there some configuration in back-office that I could tweak to show what I want.

 

I'm sure this question must have been asked before, so hopefully someone knows the answer.

 

Thanks.

Hi prestatent,

In the file ../themes/yourtheme/category.tpl look for 

{if $products}

After that line, insert 

{if !isset($subcategories)}

Add a closing {/if} just before the existing one.

Thanks, Dave

I implemented this code and it does the job. Thank you very much for this. Appreciate your time.
