Hi Everyone,

 

I appreciate any help, my question is I am developing a very small site of only 35 items, and I don't want to have categories but for the main page to only display these 35 items is this possible? Is there maybe a contrib for it?

 

Thanks,

Matt

Hmmm... I posted a reply to this but it did not appear. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a duplicate. Anyway...

 

Products can be added uncategorized. In Admin go to Catalog and add your products without creating or entering any category. If you have created a category, you can leave it or remove it.

 

Uncategorized products can be linked to directly. You may want to edit catalog/includes/languages/yourlanguage/index.php to have a table of thumbnails with direct links to products. (Obviously substitute your actual language for "yourlanguage" in the above path.) This would be one user-friendly way to get to the product info pages.

 

You may want to remove the categories box from the left column. Edit catalog/includes/column_left.php and rem out the categories box. Or you could replace that with a box listing the uncategorized products.

 

For a really quick solution, make a single category called "Products" (or whatever you want to call it). Place all your products into that category. Then edit the heading title of the categories box to say something less silly for this purpose than "Categories" or even delete the heading title. To do this edit the define "BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES" in catalog/includes/languages/english.php (or whatever language.php. To delete the heading title, set the value to a set of empty quotes, i.e., ''.
