Why support from Qualiteam?Though it is a complete custom mods, but it is not complete!!!

I want support from forum members.There are many X-cart experts for these smart coding.

Thanks to all.

Re: Hidden Categories

Anyone who want this working on 4.2 do the following. The only difference is I made it so you can change the status on the admin categories page without going into each category one at a time and modifying them to be hidden.
Hope this helps someone.

----------------------------------------------------

1) Open skin1/admin/main/categories.tpl

Find:

Code:

<option value="N"{if $c.avail eq "N"} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_no}</option>

Add Below:

Code:

<option value='H'{if $c.avail eq 'H'} selected="selected"{/if}>Hidden</option>

2) Open skin1/admin/main/category_modify.tpl

Find:

Code:

<option value='Y' {if ($current_category.avail eq 'Y')} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_enabled}</option>

<option value='N' {if ($current_category.avail eq 'N')} selected="selected"{/if}>{$lng.lbl_disabled}</option>

Add under:

Code:

<option value='H' {if ($current_category.avail eq 'H')} selected="selected"{/if}>Hidden</option>

3) Open include/func/func.category.php

NOTE: REPLACE ALL INSTANCES!!

Find All:

Code:

$sql_tbl[categories].avail = 'Y'

Replace With:

Code:

($sql_tbl[categories].avail='Y' OR $sql_tbl[categories].avail='H')

4) Open skin1/customer/categories.tpl

Find:

Code:

<li><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}">{$c.category}</a></li>

Replace With:

Code:

{if $c.avail ne "H"}

<li><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}">{$c.category}</a></li>

{/if}

5) Open admin/process_category.php

Find:

Code:

"avail" => ($v["avail"] == "Y" ? "Y" : "N")

Replace with:

Code:

"avail" => $v["avail"]

6) Open include/search.php

Find:

Code:

$sql_tbl[categories].avail = 'Y'

Replace with:

Code:

($sql_tbl[categories].avail = 'Y' OR $sql_tbl[categories].avail = 'H')

Thats it :) - THANKS FOR THE MOD BTW :)

Can anyone help me?

Is it possible for 4.1.9 and 4.1.11? Any help from forum member...???

Re: Hidden Categories

Should be possible. Looks for similiar coding in areas all of us have specified. Mine are available for sale even though the category is hidden. I just link to it with an advertisement link. Update 4.1.9 and 4.1.11 accordingly.

Can you help me ?

Thank you.

Re: Hidden Categories

Sorry I dont have those versions. You simply need to search through your coding and between everyones postings you should be able to find the fields you need to edit. I'm not saying there going to be exact since mine is a different version, but between mine and theirs before posted you should be able to figure it out. Just be patient spend some time and search it out. Sorry, if I had it it I would help you. :(

Re: Hidden Categories

I have already posted to forum-

I followed your steps exactly. However, it doesn't seem to be working. When I check a category as "hidden" in admin, it deactivates it instead and returns a 404 error page when I try to visit the category URL. Then if I check "enable" it works fine again.

I am using 4.2.2 -- any thoughts on what went wrong?

Re: Hidden Categories

I was able to install this mod successfully, for the most part, on my version 4.3.2. The only problem I am seeing is all the hidden categories show up on the search result page(s). Do you know how to fix this?

Look in 'include/func/func.category.php' for :

Code:

      $search_condition = "AND $sql_tbl[categories].avail='Y' AND ($sql_tbl[category_memberships].membershipid = '".$user_account["membershipid"]."' OR

$sql_tbl[category_memberships].membershipid IS NULL)";

and change to ...

Code:

        $search_condition = "AND ($sql_tbl[categories].avail='Y' OR $sql_tbl[categories].avail='H') AND ($sql_tbl[category_memberships].membershipid = '".$user_account["membershipid"]."' OR

$sql_tbl[category_memberships].membershipid IS NULL)";

Hopefully its the same coding within v4.2
