Remove listing of categories on section page

lauren40883 · 13.08.2004, 00:27

Hello. I need to edit the way my content is displayed. I would like to know if it is possible to NOT display the list of categories on the main section page. I have links to these categories in my main menu and would rather not show them on the section content page.

This must be possible through a hack. I am just not sure where and what file to hack. Maybe components/com_content/content.html.php?? I am not sure.

Has anyone else tried to do this or something similar?

Please help!! Please!

Sorry I'm abit confused, if you dont list any categories in teh Section List page, than the page doesnt list anything.

In 4.5.1 Beta 4 you now have much greater control of visible elements, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Could you maybe make a screenshot of what you mean and point to the relevant area

Hi lauren40883,

the solution for 4.5 (1.0.9) - didn't try with 4.5.1Beta4:
Delete at the end of function showContentList () {} in components/com_content_content.html.php line 142 up to 171 (may be it's a bit different in your file):

PHP Code:

 
        <?php

        if (count( $categories ) > 1 || (count( $categories ) < 2 && count( $items ) < 1)) {

            foreach ($categories as $row) {

                if ($catid == $row->id) {

// ...

                            <a href="<?php echo sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_registration&amp;task=register"); ?>">

                            ( <?php echo _E_REGISTERED; ?> )</a>

                        <?php

                        } ?>

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                <?php

                }

            }

        }

      ?>

Still dont understand why you dont want to display any categories in the section page.

Wouldnt that mean you have nothing to display??

My understandig was -> lauren40883 intends, that the user should use the main menu (and only the menu) to navigate and open the categories.

Why not?

yes dotnet you are right. I want the user to use the main menu to navigate through the different categories in the section.

and stingrey, there will still be something to display on the page. I am showing the description for that section in the main body of my page. and will have the links to the categories in the main menu.

ok I will try out the solution you posted now dotnet and let you know how it goes. thanks!
