Conditionnal display based on subcategory name

[INTJP]

Hi there, 

I want to hide a specific subcategory from my category page based on its name and not based on its id.

<ul class="subcategories-list" >
        {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
        
        {if $subcategory.id_category == 36}
       
         {*I want to hide this subcategory based on its name and not based on its id*}
  		{*this code works just fine but its uses the id, i need to use the name of the subcategory*}
  
       
            {else}
            
          <li>
                
                
            <div class="subcategory-image">
               
              <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
                {if !empty($subcategory.image.large.url)}
                  <img class="replace-2x" src="{$subcategory.image.large.url}" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" loading="lazy" width="141" height="180"/>
                {/if}
              </a>
            </div>

            <h5><a class="subcategory-name" href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|truncate:25:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</a></h5>
              {if $subcategory.description}
                <div class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description|unescape:'html' nofilter}</div>
              {/if}
          </li>
          
          {/if}
          
        {/foreach}

 

I've tried a few possibilities all of them failing : 

{if $subcategory.name == 'infos utiles'}

{if $subcategory.cat_name == 'infos utiles'}

 

Thanks 🙏

Hi,

{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>

      <ul class="subcategories-list">
        {foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
        {if $subcategory.name != 'infos utiles'}
          <li>
            <div class="subcategory-image">
              <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
                {if !empty($subcategory.image.large.url)}
                  <img class="replace-2x" src="{$subcategory.image.large.url}" alt="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" loading="lazy" width="141" height="180"/>
                {/if}
              </a>
            </div>

            <h5><a class="subcategory-name" href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|truncate:25:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</a></h5>
              {if $subcategory.description}
                <div class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description|unescape:'html' nofilter}</div>
              {/if}

Thank you but unfortunately this does not work...

May be there a need to trigger that function from the CategoryController.php file ? 

I am seeing that neither calling conditional category name does not work : {if $category.name == 'mycategoryname'} YOLOLOOLO {else} HIHIHIIHH {/if}

 

Would you have any idea how to override it to make it work ? 

Thanks.

Hi.

I tested the TPL and it works.
Can you upload your ENTIRE TPL file here?

Did you delete the cache in the performance settings?

Well I just pasted the whole code you gave me.

So I should have the same result than you but no...

I've emptied the cache via the performance page on the back office.

At the moment the only way I can hide this subcategory is by using its id.

Using the name does not work which is problematic because this subcategory name will be present in many others upcoming parent CategoryController.phpcategories and I'd rather not be getting into the code everytime a new one is created to insert the corresponding id.

If that matters I am in a multi-stores environment. 

Find attached the subcategoryies.tpl file.

Thanks a lot.

Are you using the default template or one with elementor?

Is there no space before or after the category name?

Can you share the link to the eshop?

Thanks, your last comment helped me a lot !!!

It is case sensitive !

In the BO the subcategory name was written : Infos utiles

-> with a capital I

while I was writing in the code : infos utiles

 

Many thanks for your time and help 😉
