You need to edit controller for category module

open catalog/controller/module/category.php in editor ( notepad++ or similar )

then find this (around line 48)

Code: Select all

    $children_data[] = array(
        'category_id' => $child['category_id'],
        'name'        => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
        'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id']) 
    );
and replace like this

Code: Select all

    $children_data[] = array(
        'category_id' => $child['category_id'],
        'name'        => $child['name'] ,
        'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id']) 
    );

If you need to remove same thing in header menu

you need to edit header.php in catalog/controller/common

so open catalog/controller/common/header.php file

and find

Code: Select all

     $children_data[] = array(
          'name'  => $child['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
          'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])       
     );
and replace with this

Code: Select all

     $children_data[] = array(
          'name'  => $child['name'] ,
          'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'] . '_' . $child['category_id'])       
     );
And that is all

Ok. Tried both of the above codes and it eliminate the Counts for Child Categories Only. The Header menu counts did eliminate as well.

So Category counts are still present in Parent Categories in Side Menu and also, Under "Refine your Search".

How to eliminate those as well?

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

    $this->data['categories'][] = array(
         'category_id' => $category['category_id'],
         'name'        => $category['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
         'children'    => $children_data,
         'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'])
   );
And replace with this

Code: Select all

    $this->data['categories'][] = array(

         'children'    => $children_data,
         'href'        => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $category['category_id'])

also note that if you are going to remove the category counts you should probably go ahead and remove or comment out the $product_total line because it is one of the slowest parts of the entire cart. No need to let it continue to run if you are not going to display it.

Cool. I just installed the vQmod file and it works. Thanks again.

edit: Spoke too soon. This mod does not really disable the Left menu Categories Counters as of right now :(

Hello

Go to catalog/controller/product/ and edit category.php file

find this ( its around line 136)

Code: Select all

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
    'name'  => $result['name'] . ' (' . $product_total . ')',
    'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)
);
and change to this

Code: Select all

$this->data['categories'][] = array(
    'name'  => $result['name'] ,
    'href'  => $this->url->link('product/category', 'path=' . $this->request->get['path'] . '_' . $result['category_id'] . $url)
);

that will remove product count from refine

if you need help let me know

regards

Hey thanks! It works perfect. I didn't know what file that code was on to edit. I knew it was similar to above, but didn't know where to look. Thanks again, i appreciate it.
