[solved] Removing or changing "There are no products." in empty category

[sscardefield]

PrestaShop 1.5.3

 

I am trying to remove or change the "There are no products." that shows up at the top of empty categories. First I manually edited category_count.tpl and changed "There are no products." to "Please select a category below." as you can see here:

 

{if $category->id == 1 OR $nb_products == 0}
{l s='Please select a category below.'}
{else}
{if $nb_products == 1}
 {l s='There is %d product.' sprintf=$nb_products}
{else}
 {l s='There are %d products.' sprintf=$nb_products}
{/if}
{/if}

 

That made no difference, Next I went into the Translations in the BO for my current theme/language to change it there (after figuring out how to fix the pesky php max_input_vars error). As you can see below, the translation is already set to "Please select a category below." so it obviously just pulls that translation from the category_count.tpl.

 

 

I have tried changing this with Smarty Force Compilation on and off (not sure if that even makes a difference). I have spent hours reading through posts and have gotten no where. Everybody says just edit the translation. Well as you can see the translation is already set and it still doesn't work. Anybody got any ideas?

Good morning,

 

Just type what you want to say in the pink text field and click save. I have just done this on ps 1.5.1.3 and it works, see attached

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.

 

I tried that as well with the same result, no change. Sorry, I should have included that in my original post as well.

As I have just said on your other post, you have tried force compile etc

Yes, I have tried with Force compilation on and off.

I feel embarrased reporting this, but I was in the wrong theme.

 

I have like 10 themes loaded, all with weird random generated names from the theme creator I used for my site, so I had gotten confused on which one was currently loaded.

hehe it's common problem, you should always edit overrides in themes/your_theme/ directory :-)

To remove "There are no products" in Prestashop 1.6.1.4 edit global.css file from default-bootstrap

.page-heading span.heading-counter {display:none;}

Thank you. I'm wondering why PS just doesn't add this simple feautre in Back Office... best if configurable for any different category...

for 1.7.8 is there a setting somewhere in BO? I'd have thought it was pretty common to only use sub cats for products, though I might be wrong.

Anyway I used .page-not-found {display:none;} which does the trick.
