[SOLVED] product is not visible in categories

[GingerDesign]

hi im going crazy here trying to get one product visible in more categories.

 I did link them when I created the product and it shows up on the home page but not in the categories I linked it to. Not even one... Hope somebody can help me with that.

try this:

back office-->advanced parms-->performance-->cache-->Clear Smarty Cache &  Autoload cache

[GingerDesign]

thanks for the help... I tried your suggestion but my products still only show up on the home page ... ??? 

Im kinda frustrated with this whole shop... I love the look of prestashop but its just to much of a hassle I think I go back to zen cart...

maybe post links to where the product should display, i.e.  categories...and the product on the home page

 

and we can take a look...

[GingerDesign]

this is the front where the product is : http://www.scrapbookdynasty.com/shop/

and here the link where it should be: http://www.scrapbookdynasty.com/shop/content/category/22-dollar-deals 

and here: http://www.scrapbookdynasty.com/shop/content/category/10-tagger-size

 

thanks for taking a look at it

you've got some problems with permissions settings.

please verify chmods for directories and files.

 

what permissions you use now?

[GingerDesign]

LOL no I didn't have any problems with permissions settings.... I had deleted the prestashop because I was so frustrated and mad .. then I installed it again and took a look at the categories before I cleaned out the presets... I got it going the way i like to have it... 

the only thing bugging me now is when the parent category opens up I have the subcategories listed with empty pictures ... is there a way to get rid of this?

Or to take the link out off the Parentcategory, so it surfs as a button who opens up subcategories???

 

my shop is now at: http://www.scrapbookdynasty.com/

if you want to remove subcategories remove this code:
 

		{if isset($subcategories)}
		<!-- Subcategories -->
		<div id="subcategories">
			<p class="subcategory-heading">{l s='Subcategories'}</p>
			<ul class="clearfix">
			{foreach from=$subcategories item=subcategory}
				<li>
                	<div class="subcategory-image">
						<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$subcategory.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="img">
						{if $subcategory.id_image}
							<img class="replace-2x" src="{$link->getCatImageLink($subcategory.link_rewrite, $subcategory.id_image, 'medium_default')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
						{else}
							<img class="replace-2x" src="{$img_cat_dir}default-medium_default.jpg" alt="" width="{$mediumSize.width}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" />
						{/if}
					</a>
                   	</div>
					<h5><a class="subcategory-name" href="{$link->getCategoryLink($subcategory.id_category, $subcategory.link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{$subcategory.name|truncate:25:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'|truncate:350}</a></h5>
					{if $subcategory.description}
						<div class="cat_desc">{$subcategory.description}</div>
					{/if}
				</li>
			{/foreach}
			</ul>
		</div>
		{/if}

from category.tpl file located in your theme dir (themes/default-bootstrap/category.tpl)

 

i said abou permissions, because when i tried to access your website i saw 403 forbidden error - this is related to permissions

Thanks for the answer...

hmmm...  I cant open the tpl file the file-manager online, so I downloaded it and DW turned it into css file and the code i looks like this: should I delete all that???

 

#subcategories {

  border-top: 1px solid #d6d4d4;

  padding: 15px 0 0px 0; }

  #subcategories p.subcategory-heading {

    font-weight: bold;

    color: #333333;

    margin: 0 0 15px 0; }

  #subcategories ul {

    margin: 0 0 0 -20px; }

    #subcategories ul li {

      float: left;

      width: 145px;

      margin: 0 0 13px 33px;

      text-align: center;

      height: 202px; }

      #subcategories ul li .subcategory-image {

        padding: 0 0 8px 0; }

        #subcategories ul li .subcategory-image a {

          display: block;

          padding: 9px;

          border: 1px solid #d6d4d4; }

          #subcategories ul li .subcategory-image a img {

            max-width: 100%;

            vertical-align: top; }

      #subcategories ul li .subcategory-name {

        font: 600 18px/22px "Open Sans", sans-serif;

        color: #555454;

        text-transform: uppercase; }

        #subcategories ul li .subcategory-name:hover {

          color: #515151; }

      #subcategories ul li .cat_desc {

        display: none; }

      #subcategories ul li:hover .subcategory-image a {

        border: 5px solid #333333;

        padding: 5px; }
