You can try to edit the tpl module in question and do the following:

 

{if $smarty.get.id_category == 'X'}
code_module
{/if}

Yeah that works!

Does anyone know if something has changed in PrestaShop Version 1.5? I cannot get the code to work. I add {if $smarty.get.id_category == 'X'} to the top of the TPL file and {/if} at the bottom but it does not cause the module to hide - the module continues to display on every category and every page.

 

I did turn on Force Compile and turned off the Cache.

 

Thanks very much for any help!

Hi JM,

Which file did you try to change exactly to get the result? Is there maybe an overriding file of it elsewhere which is used instead?

 

(Just double check: Did you change the 'X' into the category ID number of the category you want to make it show?)

 

My 2 cents,

pascal

Thank you for replying. I changed the TPL file. I am not sure if there is an overriding file - is there somehow I can find out? Yes I did change the X - I tried '4'.

 

Thanks again!
