"Select" which categories to show

[dzoxen]

Hi there, I would like to show only these three categories, and I have more, but need to show on index only these three, actually, only links to these. Can I customize like that?

 

Can I use this code: 

 

<ul class="tree {if $isDhtml}dhtml{/if}">

{foreach from=$blockCategTree.children item=child name=blockCategTree}

{if $smarty.foreach.blockCategTree.last}

{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child last='true'}

{else}

{include file="$branche_tpl_path" node=$child}

{/if}

{/foreach}

</ul>

 

and if I could check it with id of category? I'd love to make it happen, and don't have much time for this, because I need to finish with this css shortly..

 

I'd appreciate any kind of guidance and help of any kind. 
Thank You in advance

you can check it in category_tree_branch.tpl with node.id - this is and id of category, you can use if conditions there

 

{if $node.id==3}

display

{/if}

I did that, and I understand that the $node.children are subcategories, and I need number of products here, can I get them if category is not set?

[vekia]

you mean number of products associated with category with id $node.id ?

[dzoxen]

Yes, I need number of products associated with category, can I have that number? Am I right about $node.children? Are those subcategories?
