Hide subcategories on category page

[gstar]

I am trying to hide the subcategories on the category page that appear ontop of the list of products (grid or list) but all I found was this article. But I cannot find this module Theme Customizer for 1.7.8.3. Any other solution?

Search for ps_categorytree ( Category tree links ) in modules.

Change 4 to 2 or 1 and check it. ( clear cache if need it ).

Have tried 2 and 1 and cleared cache but it still shows all subcategories.

There's a switch in the default theme so yours may not have it as an option? I would look for a template called templates/catalog/_partials/subcategories.tpl (in the theme folder) and hope the theme at least follows the same convention as the classic theme....

I am using the classic theme.

Well it's in that file then.

{if !empty($subcategories)}
  {if (isset($display_subcategories) && $display_subcategories eq 1) || !isset($display_subcategories) }
    <div id="subcategories" class="card card-block">
      <h2 class="subcategory-heading">{l s='Subcategories' d='Shop.Theme.Category'}</h2>
    ...
  {/if}
{/if}

Not 100% sure where the variable display_subcategories is set and don't have the code to hand to check..... You could always just modify that second line to:

{if (isset($display_subcategories) && $display_subcategories eq 0) || !isset($display_subcategories) }

A bit of a hack but it would get it working until you solve the underlying problem....

Have set this to 0:

But subcategories are still showing...

Any other ideas?

Not what I expected

Try:

  {if (isset($display_subcategories) && $display_subcategories eq 0) || isset($display_subcategories) }

Not sure why the variable wouldn't be set at all!

Template files (should use child theme if classic)

/themes/classic/templates/catalog/listing/product_list.tpl

comment away around row 38 (bold text)

  <!-- {block name='subcategory_list'}
      {if isset($subcategories) && $subcategories|@count > 0}
        {include file='catalog/_partials/subcategories.tpl' subcategories=$subcategories}
      {/if}
    {/block}-->

Hope this solves your problem

Thank you so much for your reply. In between I found a solution - In V.1.7.8.7 - just empty the file themes/your-theme/_partials/subcategories.tpl.

Simpler change,:

{if !empty($subcategories) && 1 eq 2}

Basically adding the

&& 1 eq 2

makes the _partial/subcategories.tpl add nothing (never becomes true, and the subcategory is removed from the catalog as requested.
