category listing help?

is it possible to have my catagory listing list all catagories except for one of them? I would like to put one catagory link in a different part of the website and not be shown on the catagory list.

the catagory id is 3, how can i wright the loop to not include this catagory? I have the cart enabled to use the first loop.

here is the code from my customer/categories.tpl

Code:



{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}



{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

&gt; { $categories[cat_num].category|escape }




{/section}





{else} 



{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

<font class=CategoriesList>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }</font>




{/section}



{/if}

Sorry if this is a very basic question, but i have only been playing with php and smarty for 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Make the category only available to a certain membership ;)

Thanks BOOMER, but I still want all memberships to be able to view this catagory, If it helps i am making a section for manufactures list, with a drop down box of the manufactures, i do not want "manufactures list" included in the main menu of catagories?

is that possible, or do i just need to take the loop out and write my own links there?

Hi,

Simply need to put in an if statement at the begginning that rules out a certain category. In this example it rules out category 8.

Code:

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}



{if $categories[cat_num].categoryid eq 8}

{else}



{ $categories[cat_num].category|escape }




{/section}

{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].category|escape }




{/if}



{/section}

{/if}

Using 3.4.9 could really use a hand with this.

Can't seem to make the code above work. I keep getting smarty errors in the store. Rather than showing you every dumb combination I have tried and failed with, could someone mark up my code and give me a point in the right direction?

I really need to break up my categories.

Code:

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.18 2003/02/25 08:58:46 olga Exp $ *}

{capture name=menu}

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}

<font class=CategoriesList>{ $categories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>




{/section}

{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

<font class=CategoriesList>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>




{/section}

{/if}






{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

TIA.

Try:

Code:

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.18 2003/02/25 08:58:46 olga Exp $ *} 

{capture name=menu} 

{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"} 

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}



{if $categories[cat_num].categoryid eq 8} 

{* do this *}

{else} 



<font class=CategoriesList>{ $categories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>

 

{/if}



{/section} 

{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories} 

<font class=CategoriesList>{ $subcategories[cat_num].category_name|escape }</font>

 

{/section} 

{/if} 



 

{/capture} 

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

FD,

Thank you so much. It works like a dream. Any idea how to take out multiple categories?

I tried a few different combos and we were back to errors again.

I think I should be combining them in this statement

Code:

{if $categories[cat_num].categoryid eq 8}

but I just can't seem to get this right.
