Numbers in Category menu

[ozmart2005]

I want to hide the numbers that appear in the categories menu indicating the number of products in that category. How and where do I do that?

you will find it in

 

admin > configuration > my store >

 

set show category counts to false

Thks that was easy...looking for a difficult solution when an easy one was right in front of me!

Thanks - That's gotten me half way to what I'm after, now how do I get rid of the "->" after each category that has subcategories? (and have bold wording instead, for example?)

 

www.happyhorsesupplies.co.uk if you're wondering what I mean (any other comments would be appreciated also!).

 

Thanks

Hi Nick,

 

catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

comment out line 42 to get rid of the arrows

	  $categories_string .= '->';

 

TBH, for me all caps text is hard on the eye, so I would never do that for a whole category list. Bolding them is not a good idea either as the current category is bolded also.

 

I have found that using the contribs that add different kinds of arrows in front of the category name is an option many people use.

 

Personally, I could not care less whether there are products right below or in a subcat (just not more than 3 levels altogether). I do not put any kind of notification to the visitor.

 

As you only have 3 main categories, you may prefer to separate them though into their own boxes, using the category name as the box heading and omitting one click for the visitor. I hope you plan to center your shop and also make the columns wider so category names are not broken into several lines.

Hi Monika, thanks for the suggestion - I like the idea of having three separate boxes, one for each category - but how would I go about doing this? Also, how do I change the way the manufacturers box to display the full name? Thanks for the direction and any more help you can offer!

for the manu name, that is a setting in admin -> configuration -> maxvalues

 

for the separate boxes, you can use a contrib (will need to search for link)
