"There are no products" of category with subcategories

[donnie1992]

Hi,

Im basically have a small issue regarding the displaying of categorys.

I have a category with several Sub-categories wich have the products in them.

The main category does not have any products. 

If i look at the category page on the front end it displays the error:

"There are no products"

I looked online an i found this fix:

 

Solution 2.
Make some changes make above "There are no products." only appear when the category is empty and also there is no sub-category.

Please make change at file /themes/yourtheme/category.tpl

Replace this line
{if $nb_products == 0}{l s='There are no products.'}

with following 4 lines

{if $nb_products == 0}
{if !isset($subcategories)}
{l s='There are no products.'}
{/if}

But unfortunatly the code in 1.5.x changed so it's no longer there.

Any idea on how to change it?

It's now in the category-count.tpl I believe.

 

Edit: Just tried it and it worked fine.

What do you mean?

How can i remove the count on just that category?

The category count code seems to check if the category has a id of 1 wich im guessing means it checks if it's a main category, wich i enabled. but it still shows that there are no products,.

open file category-count.tpl

there is a code:

{if $category->id == 1 OR $nb_products == 0}
	{l s='There are no products in  this category'}
{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}

change it to:

{if $category->id == 1 OR $nb_products == 0}
    {if !isset($subcategories)}
	{l s='There are no products in  this category'}
    {/if}
{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}

SOLUTION IN THE BOTTOM

 

This is a cheap fix

 

We want that it counts all the products in subcategories.

I bought this template 

 

http://www.templatemonster.com/prestashop-themes/45052.html

 

It counts on 1.5.4 all. It said "There are 1700 products" and they appear on the bottom of the web.

 

But 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 doesn't count

as far as i know everything depends on your products configuration.

product have to be associated with category to be counted there.

by default system doesn't count products in subcategories if products aren't attached to "main" category too.

I have discovered it. Thank you for your help.

 

When you activate block layered, you can select view subcategory products on category. That is the trick.

I have activaded and desactivated, it not was a problem of versions in prestashop

open file category-count.tpl

there is a code:

{if $category->id == 1 OR $nb_products == 0}
	{l s='There are no products in  this category'}
{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}

change it to:

{if $category->id == 1 OR $nb_products == 0}
    {if !isset($subcategories)}
	{l s='There are no products in  this category'}
    {/if}
{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}
