[SOLVED] How can I remove or hide the "Sort by" drop-down menu on the category page

[beyonceuk1]

Trying to remove the "Sort by" menu on the category page showing the list of products available. Also trying to remove the "There are # products" section. Tried commenting the product-sort.tpl and pagination.tpl files, and also removing the form sections on those - nothing working. I'm amending the default theme Prestashop 1.5.6.1

if you changed .tpl files and you don't see changes in your front office - it mean that your store uses "cached" version of these files.

try to clear shop cache and turn on force compilation (temporarily!)

Thanks! I'm now seeing my changes, but I still can't seem to hide those sections. The product sort section is now blank (no text) but the section bar is still there. The "There are # products" section just won't go away...

hello

 

please check category.tpl file

there is something like:

 

there is code like:
 

<div class="content_sortPagiBar">
				{include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl"}
				<div class="sortPagiBar clearfix">
					{include file="./product-sort.tpl"}
					{include file="./product-compare.tpl"}
					{include file="./nbr-product-page.tpl"}
				</div>
			</div>

this is what you're looking for

It looks like it, but it's not working. I've removed the line {include file="./product-sort.tpl"} but nothing has changed on the page

have you removed all available instances of this code? im asking because this code appears there 2 times.

and in addition, have you tried to clear smarty cache after that?

 

what theme you use?

[beyonceuk1]

Ah - I have it working now! Thanks!

 

Only thing I need to work out now is why there's a large white section at the bottom of the page when I'm in a main category page (before I've selected a sub category). Any ideas there?

[beyonceuk1]

Ignore that - seems to have gone now!
