Categories block - show only specyfic categories

[jeremiash]

Hello,
I want to show in categories block only specyfic categories - not all of them.

Probably have to change php database query - but dunno how to start.

thank You.

Why are you wanting to show only specific categories? You can click on the tick icon in the "Displayed" column for a category to hide it, or edit a category and make it accessible only to certain customer groups. If you are wanting to hide the category from the category block, but make it still browsable by entering the URL manually, you will need to edit modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl and add the following to the top:

{if $node.id != 2 AND $node.id != 3}

and the following at the bottom:

{/if}

This will hide category 2 and 3 from the category block. Change the IDs and add more as required.

You should start from:
modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.php

There's one select query which should be changed.

Rocky it works but only if Force Compile ON and Cache OFF. Once you switch back to production settings ForceComplie OFF and Cache ON it will display the hidden category again. Any ideas? PS1.4.6.2
