Simple mod that hides empty categories on front-end

Tested on 1.5.x

uksb_hide_empty_categories.xml: (2.78 KiB) Downloaded 865 times

This mod is currently not compatible with the following mods

remove category counts

Hi,

Super idea.

I have Accordion Menu installed. Any chance to use it for that mod?

Not sure what or how the accordion menu is.

However, if you look at the code in the vqmod xml, it should be quite self explanatory on what you need to do.

It basically uses conditional statements to see if category count is greater than zero.

+1 for update to work with hidden category counts.

I removed the count by removing

Code: Select all: . ' (' . $product_total . ')'

from three locations of the mod.

Looks like its still working okay.

And thanks uksitebuilder, great mod. One less job for the client.

I am using 1.5.4 and the mod hides some of my categories that do have products in it. They are all parent categories where only the sub categories have products in them. I have another mod that shows all the product in the parent that is in the sub categories, but even after removing that the problem persists.

Is this maybe incompatible with 1.5.4?
