Removing Images beside Categories

[kendell]

how do you remove images that are beside the sub-categories and categories????

[y_brosh]

if you mean things like the search and other from the left/right columns do so:

enter catalog/includes

in there ull have 2 files important to you:

column_left.php and column_right.php

enter those files and remove the things you dont want like this:

if you want to remove the manufacturers for example:

remove the block :

if ( (USE_CACHE == 'true') && !defined('SID')) {

echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();

} else {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');

}

etc.

it isd highly recommended to put those lines as a commet and not delete them. at the beginning of the comment you put /*

and in the end */

sorry, i gess i didn't explain myself good enough. when i click on a category in the left column then a whole bunch of sub-categories come up on the main page and they all require pictures but i just want the names....no pictures. if that makes anymore sense...please help!!

Removing the category icons is fairly easy. In the admin, under images turn off the "images required". Then remove the images from your images directory. If you want to mess with the code you can remove the "call" that gets the images.

 

If you haven't already done it, you might want to take a look at the installation and modification guide.

How to remove allready inserted images.. We have some categories, where we put up som imges, but want to remove them.. This seems to be impossible??

When changing the category (edit?) leave the picture input empty and save changes

I'm also trying to do this. It seems once an image has been assigned it sticks no matter what. Did you find a solution?

What I do is specify my 1 x 1 invisible gif. Mine is called "blank1x1.gif" but I think you have a stock one in your images folder with a similar name. Use that image.

Since my posting I've worked on this issue some more. I went into the database, using phpmysql, and set "null" to all the images I wanted to in the categories database. Now I have no images and not even a little spec of one. Just thought I would let you know ..

I am trying to eliminate the pictures displayed here as well, but I cannot understand fully what JWCravers did. Can someone please either let me know of another way to eliminate the pictures all together, or perhaps explain in a little more detail what JW did? Thanks

This may not be the best way to do it but it worked for me.

 

Since a space is the same (or close) to null in a database I just hit edit for the categories I wanted to remove the images to and in the box where you would input your image just click in there, hit your space bar once and then update.

 

I have also set "require images" to false

 

hope it helps someone.

Thanks for the help Moose, however I cannot make this work. For some reason whenever I simply place a space in the image directory field it will not allow me to press the "save" button. It is almost as if the button is not there when I try and click it...I've tried this for a number of different categories and it still will not work. When I place any text at all in the field, the "save" button does work. Any other suggestions to solve this problem? A contribution perhaps? Thanks

1. Under Configuration > Images, make sure Image Required is set to 'False'

 

2. Go through your categories and click edit and remove the image.

 

3. Delete or rename the 'Old' images in the 'Images' folder through an FTP Program or Web based File Browser.
