Hi,

 

I'm trying to hide empty subcategories (categories containing 0 items) but I can't seem to find this in the settings. I've searched the forum for this topic, but the solution was on a site that is no longer available (gworldz.com)

 

The page for which I want to hide the empty subcategories: www.hqgames.be/test/joomla/index.php/spellen

 

I've looked at the category.php code and I know I should hide the div with class 'subCategoryContainer'

 when "$subCategory->numOfItems" equals 0. Bit I am not familiar with php to accomplish this.

 

Can Anyone help me out?

 

thank you!

 

I don't have THE answer, but from what I've learned you need to do this:


Go the global parameters and set to hide categories
Do the same for Categories and sub categories because they are usually set to inherit from the higher category
Now for the Non-empty subcategories, set them to show individually

There is no global way to set empty to hide.

 

Happy K2 :)

You have to use an if statement in php in the categories template file...

So, what you were had to do is to go to /components/com_k2/templates/default/category.php, and find div with class 'subCategoryContainer' press "-" sign( that near the line numbers) on this line and write around this <div> if statement, So, you'll have next picture!

 


I've been using Notepad++

P.S.: Thank you all! I was solving the same problem and i'm very very new to Joomla and especially to K2

@ eminov    Nice Code!

It is difficult to find exactly what to look for and change in the category.php override file. It is also unclear if this code should simply be added, or if something should be changed instead.

 

Perhaps you can just post the code to search for, then paste the correction below that.

 

Thanks
