[solved] How to remove Subcategories Header Image

[Kat84]

Hello,

 

I would like to remove the wide header image from my subcategories, is this possible and if it is, how can I do this? I do want to keep the small subcategories images though.... So it's only the wide header image that I want removed.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

[vekia]

it is possible but we must know:

1. what prestashop version you use
   
2. you use default template?
   

[Kat84]

I'm sorry! I use the newest 1.5.4.1 and I use a theme that I bought, so not the default theme....

[vekia]

so if it is possible - please paste here contents of the category.tpl file located in your theme directory.

 

you can aslo try with this:

 

open the category.tpl file, you've got there (probably - because it's a non-default theme) something like:

 

{if $scenes}
   <!-- Scenes -->
   {include file="$tpl_dir./scenes.tpl" scenes=$scenes}
  {else}
   <!-- Category image -->
   {if $category->id_image}
   <div class="align_center">
 <img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage" width="{$categorySize.width}" height="{$categorySize.height}" />
   </div>
   {/if}
  {/if}

 

you can remove it - or add comments, before code add {* and after the code add *}

Ok, I got the category.tpl from my theme's folder, it looks like this:

[vekia]

remove or comment this:

 

   {if $category->id_image}
	 <img src="{$link->getCatImageLink($category->link_rewrite, $category->id_image, 'category_default')}" alt="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$category->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" id="categoryImage"/>
   {/if}

 

remember, that sometimes it's necessary to turn force compilation on (under the preferences > performance tab in BO), because without it - changes may not appear

[Kat84]

It's working!! Thank you so so much for this

[vekia]

you're welcome

 

now i can mark this thread as solved

 

if you've got any questions related to this case - feel free to continue discussion here

 

regards

[Kat84]

Thank you

Does anyone know if this is available in 1.6 without changing the TPL files?  I've done a ton of programming in PrestaShop over the last two years, and I can appreciate the ability to leave the default theme as-is.  If it's not possible from a configuration standpoint, does anyone know why you'd ever want "No Image Available" or the "?" image?

[Kingstar]

ATTENTION:

 

There wouldn't be any use to modify your template files any longer. PrestaShop Team finally listened! Look, there's a button to toggle subcategories ON/OFF, and I mean, not the subcategories on your entire website but only the subcategories with the annoying "no image available" pictures that are listed right before your product listing! You'll still be able to see your subcategories from the category column and sort your products from those.

To disable or turn your subcategories off, simply go to PREFERENCES>>Themes>>Theme configurator. Alternatively, you can arrive at the same spot using MODULES>>Theme configurator>>Configure. On the Settings, you'll find "Display subcategories". Simply change it to NO. Or you can leave it at YES. (Check the attached image.)

 

 

It is worth mentioning to note that I just upgraded to 1.6.0.9. I don't know if this is a new feature or whether it had been there in all previous versions and we'd just been blind to it. One thing is certain; PrestaShop's subcategory is now what I'd call a FEATURE! Until now, it has been a stubborn and very annoying bug.

Hello

Hope that some one sees my question. 

I have the same version of prestashop AND I have also checked NO to displaying subcategories, BUT I still see the Image not available on my subcategories pages. So it doesn't work for me. 

 

Can anyone tell me why? 

 

Best - Mette

Thanks, Kingstar. Works very well. Just what I wanted !

so if it is possible - please paste here contents of the category.tpl file located in your theme directory.

Unable to display Subcategories images plz help me. i have been already uploaded images in Category thumbnail. Prestashop 1.6.1.4

 

[Mcrico82]

Hi,

 

I have a question about 

 

-> Category Cover Image

-> Category thumbnail

 

I tried to put image at Category thumbnail and when i go inside the category at front-end, the image for the subcategories are not showed.

But if I upload image at Category Cover Image it's showing at Category Cover Image and Category thumbnail

 

My question is: How can I show only the picture at Category thumbnail? Cause if I upload one image for Category thumbnail it's not showing  - Front-end "No image available"

 

Thanks

 

Marcelo

Hello,

I would like to remove all the subcategories blocks (text & images) in category page and remove the wide header image from my subcategories. I use the latest version 1.6.1.6, and use the default theme.

 

Thanks in advance.

[vekia]

this is how you can do it: remove subcategories list from category page in PrestaShop 1.6.1.6

[zakki7]

Thanks for your reply.

 

I did that and selected value NO and saved, but every time it automatically goes back to value YES.

I deleted/edited some code from my templete file before to remove the images from subcategeries blocks, so only display text in the blocks now.

 

Maybe me deleting/altering the template file before, the theme configurator option for hiding 'display subcategories' doesn't work anymore?

 

Thanks.
