Removing "# of items" from category listing

[Guest]

I know this should be an easy fix, but can anyone tell me where I need to go in order to remove the actual "number of products" that are in each category from the category listings?

 

In the categories infobox, I only want the name of the category to show, and not the # of products within the cateogry.

Could you tell me what to do please because I want to do this as well. I found the file, it must be catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php but I don't know what to remove.

 

Or is there something easy in admin that I missed?

 

New to programming - please help.

whoops I found it also :oops:

 

If anyone else needs to do this, it's in admin -> my store -> set Show Category Counts to false

Cables & Tools-> (122)

Cameras->

Case Modding->

Cases->

CD / DVD->

Cables & Tools (122)

Cameras

Case Modding

Cases

I'm running OSC v1.2 and Show Category Counts is not listed in my Admin>My Store. So I dug a little deeper and found that yes to change the code you must goto categories.php only to find that the code needing to be changed actually resides in the application_top file. Around line 148 change the

define('SHOW_COUNTS', 'true'); // show category count: true=Yes False=No

 define('USE_RECURSIVE_COUNT', 'true'); // recursive count: true=Yes False=No

 

to

define('SHOW_COUNTS', 'false'); // show category count: true=Yes False=No

 define('USE_RECURSIVE_COUNT', 'false'); // recursive count: true=Yes False=No

 

and that achieves the same result as the admin page. Still looking for the "->" so it can be removed...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have done this now!

 

I found the andswer in the file....

 

includesboxescategories.php file

 

find the line

   if (tep_has_category_subcategories($counter)) {

     $categories_string .= '->';

 

comment out as below...

   if (tep_has_category_subcategories($counter)) {

//      $categories_string .= '->';

 

This will stop the "->" from appearing!

 

so you get Category Item (###)

 

Perfect!
