"disable" one specific category in categories.php

[a.niedermann]

Hey!

 

I made one unique page for one of the products in my shop. And added a link to that page in categories.php. Now I have the problem of a double entry. Once the entry of the categories string and once the link I inserted.

 

How can I manage, that the categories.php does not display this specific category id (the categories links which it creates automatically) without deleting the category?

 

Thanks for help!!

In includes/boxes/categories.php you could alter the $categories_query by adding

and c.categories_id != 21

 

In the above example 21 is the id of the category I want to hide. Note that if you change your category structure in the future, you would have to check if 21 is still the id of the category you want to hide...

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and c.categories_id != 21 and cd.language_id='" . (int)$languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

 

 

Around line 99

$categories_query = tep_db_query("select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = '" . (int)$value . "' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and c.categories_id != 21 and cd.language_id='" . (int)$languages_id ."' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name");

 

Note: replace 21 by your category id
