[Solved] How to deactivate sort option ?

[Rhobur]

I'd like to get rid of the sort dropdown box which appear on top of each category products listing, it cannot be used anyway since my primary products are on demand only. How can I do that ?

You need to change the theme file /themes/yoursitetheme/category.tpl file.
You need to comment out one line. See below

Before change

   {if $products}
           {include file=$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl}
           {include file=$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl products=$products}
           {include file=$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl}

After change

   {if $products}
           {*include file=$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl*}
           {include file=$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl products=$products}
           {include file=$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl}

Thanks for replying, did that but dropdown is still there; anything I can do ?

[shokinro]

I tried that on my site and it works fine.
http://expresscheckout.dyndns.org:8080/shop1360/category.php?id_category=3

then try to remove the line embraced with {* *}.
Make sure you are changed the right file under the theme folder you are using.

I don't understand, deleted the line completely from theme/category.tpl, cleared the cache and still no luck; I see that at your site the solution
worked but at mine nothing, this is an example Caprice-Shop

[shokinro]

it seems that you are using 3rd party customized theme, I am not sure how the code is changed and arranged.
If you could send me the catergory.tpl file or upload it to this thread as attachment, I can take a look.

You probably have the smarty cache enabled. Turn it off, browse the category page and then you can turn it on again.

Thank you shokinro and whitelighter, you were right, the smarty cache was emptied but after I've deleted the content of smarty/compile the dropdown dissapeared; it seems that everyday i have something to learn from. Thanks again guys for your time and especially shokinro for the initial solution !
