X-Cart forums

[crcool75]

Hello,

When clicking on a category X-Cart lists the available products down the screen. How would I have it list absolutely nothing, no category title, no window, nothing?

I'm wanting to put one large banner in that category, but I want no products listed. I don't want it to say "There are no available products in this category" under the banner.

Thanks

you are gonna have to do some serious customization of your categories.tpl.

I have no idea what is the purpose of this, but you have as an option to create an static page.

Yes, but how do you link a category to a static page?

Hard-code the links in the category menu instead of using the array. No point in linking to an empty category if you aren't going to use them as intended

That's an idea... Could you give me an example?

<a href="pages.php?pageid=x">Category name</a>

Replace x with the number of the static page.

balinor, we are using Phil Jones "Fly-Out" menu module and this is the .TPL file for it:

Any idea where I would put the hard code? I figured out how to get it in there, but it doesn't use the same color style as the rest of the menu.

Well, balinor, since mysterious people are watching over my shoulder policing the forums rather than helping me, where would you put that code in the categories.tpl file? It would need to honor the same coloring as the rest of the menu.

That would be one of the admins... don't take it the wrong way. He just doing his assigned duties.
