Hide subcategories in Category page at Prestashop 8.1.1 (Solved)

[beluafi.ilustracion]

I would like to hide the subcategories that appear on the category pages. Not the tree that appears on the left margin but the other list that comes out in the central body. In fact, I would like to hide everything that appears between the header and the products.

I have been looking for several hours and all the solutions that appear to me are for old versions of Prestashop and it is possible that none of the solutions that I have found work for me. I am using 8.1.1.

Thank you!

Hi,

You need to search for code in the categories tpl file which shows the results of sub-categories in the listing page, then need to comment code in the tpl file of categories products listing.

I found below forum post useful. The post has a solution for 1.7, I think it will work for version 8 as well as the new version has old version code and some enhancements.

Hi.

Did you mean to hide the subcategories as crossed out?

./themes/your_theme/templates/catalog/listing/product-list.tpl

(The placement of the subcategory block may be different, depending on your template)

Find and comment:

An asterisk is added after the first character { and before the last character }

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

In that case, it is necessary to clear the cache and recompile the template.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

But how do I do it just for specific sub categories.

[ps8modules]

Hi.

In your case, you need to modify the file ./themes/your_theme/templates/catalog/_partials/subcategories.tpl

[ps8modules]

 

Hi.

Sample modification ./themes/your_theme/templates/catalog/_partials/subcategories.tpl

array(5, 7) = a list of category IDs that you do not want to display

Can you copy your code as we can see it please ?

Bonjour,

 

on peut écrire en français.

ce qui est bizarre c'est que la description de la catégorie est gérée dans un autre fichier ...(dans templates/catalog/_partials/category-header.tpl)

 

je commence à avoir les yeux qui se croisent...

mon code product-list.tpl

Normalement en commentant ainsi :

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

Cela devrait fonctionner. Vérifiez que vous ne vous trompez pas dans la mise en place du commentaire.

Bonjour,

 

même avec cette façon de commenter, toujours le même résultat. J'utilise le theme enfant child classic de base généré par prestashop. Ce qui est vraiment bizarre c'est qu'il suffit que je crée une copie du fichier product-list.tpl dans ce theme enfant (templates/catalog/_partials/listing/product-list.tpl pour que cela fasse "disparaître le texte de description de la catégorie.

[Divine]

Ah c'est peut-être qu'il ne parvient plus à trouver le fichier qui contient la description.
Avez-vous essayé de placer également le fichier "category-header.tpl" dans le thème enfant ?

[Press ta chope]

merci pour votre réponse, oui j'ai bien le category-header.tpl dans templates/catalog/_partials de mon theme enfant...

[Divine]

Alors je ne vois pas trop ce qui pourrait bloquer là comme ça. Vous pouvez m'envoyer un accès en MP si vous voulez, je jetterai un oeil dès que j'aurai un moment.

[Press ta chope]

Bonjour,

pour être plus précis, je viens de remarquer que la description apparaît lorsque l'on active un filtre, mais au chargement de la page, par défaut elle n'apparaît pas...
