Mort-lemur Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hi, There are several methods available for Hiding Categories on the site, but which one is most suitable for use with 2.3.3.4? I need this as some of my categories are seasonal items and need to be hidden at the times of the year that they are not available. Previously on my 2.2 stores I used this mod by spooks http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/318434-contribution-hide-categories-products/page__st__20 and it worked well, but Im concious that this dates back to 2008 and may not be suitable for use with 2.3.3.4 - and as my site is now live I dont want to start breaking things....... Many Thanks for any suggestions............ Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.
♥joli1811 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Heather, I used the one from spooks on a 2.3.1 store successfully very easy install I was using the accordion category menu add on so that took a bit of fiddling other than simple install so would think should be ok but as I said 2.3.1 not 2.3.3.4 Hope that helps Regards Joli To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
