Category active but hidden

[weloveperfume.co.uk]

Hi is there a way of having a category active but hidden, as I just want to have a link to it but not showing in the left box, I have looked everywhere in the backend but cant seem to find how to do it.

I have tried turning the display off but that just make the category inactive. :-S

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

You can certainly make a category inactive but include the products within that category as related items to other products, as I have done this myself.

It was exactly what i wanted to do. I've just found this solution :

Edit the file "category.tpl" (in the theme directory) and remove these line :

line 5 : {if $category->active}

line 45 : {else}
line 46 :

{l s='This category is currently unavailable.'}

line 47 : {/if}

Now all inactive categories will be hidden BUT still available.
