[1.5]remove counter next to product in category menu

[i2Paq]

Hi guys im struggling to find out the correct way to describe this so i can really find anything relating to what im searching.
I basically just want to remove the little number that is next to the category in the menu bar so for example if there is one product in the category then it has (1) next to it.
I cant seem to find any settings in the control panel for it but then again i might just be blind.
Im using 1.5 btw.
thanks for any help in advance.

If I am right, you just want your customers to see the categories in the dropdown menu without the quantities in brackets i.e. (2) ?
You can do this by altering one line of code in the catalog/controller/header.php file.
Find the following line of code (around line 200) . . .

Code: Select all

                  'name'  => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',

& change it to this . . .

Code: Select all

                  'name'  => $child['name'],// . ' (' . $product_total . ')',

This will still show your categories but without the qty (2)
To change it back, simply delete these 3 characters . . .

Code: Select all

,//

that show after ['name']

Thanks for the tip! and if you want to edit the one in the category module, the file is in catalog/controller/module/category.php

I have been searching and not able to find anything which works

above example does not work for me

On main page when we see category with total products I want to remove those qty with bracket
any solution?

Undo the previous changes and upload this vqmod i made to get rid of the product count in all areas.

!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!
I've updated this file to reduce load times and some other minor improvements.
Please see this thread for the latest version:

remove counter next to product in category menu

The solution of "harryo40" above guides to the right direction but you have to fulfill changes on other three points, in other two scripts!!!

The whole solution:

First change:

Open category.php with your preferred editor on => catalog/controller/module/category.php

Go to the line 48: 'name' => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')'
Change it to: 'name' => $child['name'],// . ' (' . $product_total . ')'

Go to line 62: 'name' => $category['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
Change it to: 'name' => $category['name'],// . ' (' . $product_total . ')',



Second change:

Open category.php on => catalog/controller/product/category.php

Go to line 137: 'name' => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')'
Change it to: 'name' => $result['name'],// . ' (' . $product_total . ')'


Third change:

Open category.php on => catalog/controller/common/header.php

Go to line: 'name' => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
Change it to: 'name' => $child['name'],// . ' (' . $product_total . ')',

Thanks to "harryo40" for his IDEA


Hope it helps...

I have created a vqmod for this but when searching for the string:

Code: Select all

'name' => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')'

it returns no result

when I search for: (mind the extra space between 'name' and =>)

Code: Select all

'name'  => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')'

I do get a hit.

Although I like the way of being able to make changes without touching core files this method seems very error prone to me especially with regard to spaces (like mentioned above).

I am using opencart 1.5.1.3.
