Enable/Disable categories contribution

[♥geoffreywalton]

And have since found that if you disable a category it goes from the cat menu but not the list in the centre of the shop, also if add a category it is always set to disabled and if you edit a category it gets changed to disabled so you then need to "enable" it.

 

This should get you going in index.php

 

	  // BOF Enable & Disable Categories
	  $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_status = '1' and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$category_links[$i] . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
	  // EOF Enable & Disable Categories
	  break; // we've found the deepest category the customer is in
    }
  }
   } else {
  $categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_status = '1' and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");
   }

 

In categories.php somewhere in the

 

case 'new_category':

 

code block, at approx line 1600 in my edited version, change

 

$contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_EDIT_STATUS . '<br>' . tep_draw_input_field('categories_status',  $cInfo->categories_status, 'size="2"') . '1=Enabled 0=Disabled');

to

 

    $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_EDIT_STATUS . '<br>' . tep_draw_input_field('categories_status', '1', 'size="2"') . '1=Enabled 0=Disabled');

 

somewhere in the

 

case 'edit_category':

 

block add

 

$contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . TEXT_EDIT_STATUS . '<br>' . tep_draw_input_field('categories_status',  $cInfo->categories_status, 'size="2"') . '1=Enabled 0=Disabled');
