Hi

I'd like to remove the text that says "Children's Categories" from the page. So far I can't see how to do it, can anyone assist?

The page in question is mvfdc.narromine.nsw.au where I have the parent category empty and two children's categories. It would be good to be able to hide all the stuff above the images.

Thanks in advance

Christina

Hi Christina,

Yes you can remove this code or change it.

You might also want to consider copying the default K2 theme to create your own sub theme for different categories.

Anyway, you need to modify the category.php file which is found in components/com_k2/templates/default.

For the Page Title, look around line 22:
params->get('pageclass_sfx')?>">

Remove/modify the second line.

For the Children Categories, remove/modify this line .
{h3} div class="itemListSubCategories">{/h3}

The code you need to modify is between the H3 tags.

Edit the file: ../components/com_k2/templates/default/Category.php.
remove the line 78:

I have done this and the Children Cat is not going away. Can you please help me?

It worked for me! If you have a custom template for any category or sub-category(ies), then you need to change that line in every instance of category.php

Hi,

I too found that the above fix didn't work but after much sniffing around found that if you have a template for the site (not a k2 template; for instance i am using a rocketthemes template) then you will find another copy of this file inside that template folder at -

'templates/"yourtemplate"/html/com_k2/templates/default/category.php'

Hope that helps you :)

Thanks guys - except now I am confused! Creating a new template should it be placed here
'templates/"yourtemplate"/html/com_k2/templates/default/category.php'

OR

/public_html/components/com_k2/templates

? thanks

Hi Christina

The com_K2 folder and files should automatically be created if you install K2 after your main template. It is in this folder you can change the category.php file ('templates/"yourtemplate"/html/com_k2/templates/default/category.php')

Cheers,
Morten

I had the same problem, and I just figured it out.........

My template (a RocketTheme template) has its own files for K2. Editing the file in .../components/com_k2/templates/default/ won't do anything. You need to go into your templates folder and make the same edit in .../templates/*your template*/html/com_k2/templates/default/category.php

There is a guide on K2Joom that covers this, click here.
