Enable/Disable contrib

[ladykaren]

Hi all;

I was wondering if someone could lend a hand with this contrib.

After my third try at installing it, it finally looks like everything

is where it should be .... on/off lights, no errors and no conflict

with other contribs .... this is a very good thing.

But (you knew that was coming lol) when I disable at catagory,

it is still showing in my catagories menu and the products are

all still there.

Could I have missed something during the install? Anyone else

having this problem? Help??

 

Thanks in advance,

Karen

Hi Karen, Congrats on your install.

 

Which contribution are you using, and what version?

You want your categories menu to disappear? Those are the links to your products/services, so I'm a bit confused on what you are trying to achieve.

Hi Lostndazed;

Thank you for your reply. I installed Enable/Disable

Catagories 1.6.1.1 I also applied the Fix - General 1 2 3 4.

I've also applied the Specials Fix 1 2 3 4.

 

Here's a link to my site http://www.ladykdelights.com

and perhaps I can explain my question a little better.

You'll see in my Catagories box the list I have for all the

diferant products etc. I would like to "turn off" the Music

catagory so that these products are not shown to the customer

at this time. Also in the Skin Care section, I would like to

"turn off" the Dead Sea Skin Care sub catagory for the same

reason. I also have some seasonal items in the Bakery I

would like to "turn off/on" for diferant holidays, again so

the vistor does not see these items.

 

Right now, I have the above catagories set to disable, however

as you can see, they are still listed. I was under the impression

that with this contrib it would basically work the same as the

enable/disable feature for individual products.

 

So .... that's where I am. I hope that explains a little clearer.

I was tossing out questions in the forum left and right last night

with a half functional brain lol.

 

Thanks again and take care,

Karen

Hi Karen,

I'm using version 1.6.1.2. I am able to disable categories or sub-categories.

I know this is a silly question, but have you refreshed your browser after disabling a category? If that doesn't work, double check the contrib code to be sure you didn't miss anything. You're right that the contrib does work the same as enable/disable a product.

Hi Darlene;

Thanks for your reply. And no, it's not a silly question lol.

I have refreshed the browser after hitting the disable, but

the catagories are still there along with the products. Let

me look through the files in v.1.6.1.2 and compare what

I've done already. That might do the trick. I'll let you

know what happens.

 

Take care,

Karen :)

Quick update ... I used the files in v.1.6.1.2 and everything

seems to be working great. Catagories are turned off ... Happy Dance :thumbsup:
