Hi!
is there a way that i put a code somewhere and display left column to the categories i choose and hide to the others?

or a second way to display the category block on the lefts at category pages i want to
For example i want o display category block to those

category.php?id_category=28

category.php?id_category=29

category.php?id_category=30

category.php?id_category=31

To hide the left column for specific categories, edit header.tpl in your theme's directory and change lines 54-57 from:

<!-- Left -->

   {$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}

to:

{if $smarty.get.id_category|intval < 28 AND $smarty.get.id_category|intval > 31} 
<!-- Left -->

   {$HOOK_LEFT_COLUMN}

{/if}

This will hide the left column on categories 28-31.

I'm having trouble understanding what you mean. Do you mean that you want to hide certain categories from the block? Can you provide screenshots to explain what you mean?

Is there a way to hide the left column just on the subcategories page in PS 1.4.1? Or just to hide the category block (in the left column) on the subcategory page?

{if $page_name == 'category' AND $smarty.get.id_category != 27 AND $page_name == 'category' AND $smarty.get.id_category != 19} 

The problem is that this is also removing the category block on the home page & product pages where I want it displayed. Any ideas?

I have 2 category pages that I don't want to have the category block displayed on as these are the 2 main category pages and contain no products, they simply list the subcategories.
