Hidden Categories

Just to tidy up John's beautiful mod

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=11326

I have successfully applied it to X-Cart 4.0.17 with X-Fancy-Category
All that needed to be done is:

/skin1/admin/category_modify.tpl

Find:

Code:

<SELECT name="avail">

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

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

</SELECT>

Replace with:

Code:

<SELECT name="avail">

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

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

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

</SELECT>

and
/include/categories.php

Find:

Code:

if ($current_area == "C" || $current_area == "B")

                $search_condition = "AND avail='Y' AND (membership='".addslashes($user_account["membership"])."' OR membership='')";

Replace with:

Code:

if ($current_area == "C" || $current_area == "B")

                $search_condition = "AND (avail='Y' OR avail = 'H') AND (membership='".addslashes($user_account["membership"])."' OR membership='')";

Hope you find this helpful.

Unless I'm missing something, the products added to the hidden category would not appear while trying to view the hidden category. fablot had the right idea in the other thread about adding to the search_condition in include/search.php. Now the products appear for me. This is with 4.0.18. Can anyone verify this is the correct adjustment to not adversely affect other product searches?

HK - hansmoen,
nice work, i am on a fairly fresh install of 4.0.17 and NOT using fancy cats, but the code posted earlier by tanabemike was not working for me. it seemed to work, but after more testing/browsing, some goofy things started to happen. sorry, not enough time to go into it. i was about to scrap the mod, but your code made it all better.

many thanks!

Take a look in "End of life" items under "Specials".
You will also see this item if you do a search for "wow".

And Thanks Thundernugs! Glad you found it useful!

Great mod.... Would love to add this to my x-cart I'm currently updating but it doesn't seem to work with the newest X-cart 4.1.0 (RC3) version any ideas?

(v4.0.17) --- Plus you will need to add

<OPTION value="H"{if $subcategories[cat_num].avail eq "H"} selected{/if}>Hidden</OPTION>

below

<OPTION value="Y"{if $subcategories[cat_num].avail eq "Y"} selected{/if}>{$lng.lbl_yes}</OPTION>
<OPTION value="N"{if $subcategories[cat_num].avail eq "N"} selected{/if}>{$lng.lbl_no}</OPTION>

in skin1/admin/main/categories.tpl
