How to Exclude from {section} loop

I tried searching for this but couldn't find it. Anyway I have an item called "Ebay Auction Payment" set at $0. The thing is, I don't want this item to show up on the recommends list when customers are browsing other products.

How do I exclude the ebay payment item from the recommends loop?

thanks

This should be more streamlined, but here's a quick fix to exclude that single product.

Apply to modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl

Code:

{section name=num loop=$recommends}

{if $recommends[num].product ne "Ebay Auction Payment"}

<LI>

<SPAN class="ItemsList">{$recommends[num].product}</SPAN>

</LI>

{/if}

{/section}

A better way would be to create a new field, perhaps in the products table, that could be set to exclude products from the recommended list. Then in recommends.php, you could add a conditional check to determine whether or not a product should be included. Then you could manage the exclusions from the modify product/create new product pages.

that worked great, thanks pm!
