If you simply want to remove sub-categories from a category display (not sure why you'd want to do that as it would hurt your internal linking structure and customer navigation) you'd comment out this bit of code:
Code:
{if $subcategories}
<table cellspacing="5" width="100%">
{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcat}
<tr>
{if $tmp and $first_subcat ne "Y"}
<td valign="top" rowspan="{count value=$subcategories print="Y"}"><img src="{if $current_category.icon_url}{$current_category.icon_url}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={$cat}&type=C{/if}" alt="" /></td>
{assign var="first_subcat" value="Y"}
{/if}
<td class="SubcatTitle"><a href="home.php?cat={ $subcat.categoryid }"><font class="ItemsList">{ $subcat.category|escape }</font></a><br /></td>
<td class="SubcatInfo">{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}
{if $subcat.product_count}{ $subcat.product_count } {$lng.lbl_products}
{elseif $subcat.subcategory_count}{ $subcat.subcategory_count } {$lng.lbl_categories|lower}
{/if}
{/if}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
</table>
{/if}
While we certainly appreciate your willingness to share Screeny, if you don't understand the code you are posting, it may be best if you don't post it. The code may be tailored to your specific store or in the case of one of your other tips, it may just be poorly coded. Many times people here implement code without knowing what they are doing, and if the code is incorrect to begin with, it can have disastrous effects. We usually ask that any code you share is tested and functional before posting it.
