V4 Cannor remove Homepage, Gift Certs from Categories Box

[Guest d4red3vil]

Hi...I'm trying to remove the following from the 'Categories' left hand box;

Homepage

Gift Certs

Sales

I have found where they are listed in categories.tpl and included top part with Homepage below. I remove this line

<li class="li-nav"><a href="index.php" title="{LANG_HOME}">{LANG_HOME}</a></li>

yet homepage still shows in Category box? I am 100% editing the correct category file in the correct skin directory as I have edited and sorted everything else.

PLEASE HELP

<!-- BEGIN: categories -->

<div class="LeftBox">

<div class="subHeading"><h3>{LANG_CATEGORY_TITLE}</h3></div>

<ul id="mainmenu-nav"> <!-- top nav list -->

<li class="li-nav"><a href="index.php" title="{LANG_HOME}">{LANG_HOME}</a></li>

<!-- BEGIN: a -->

<!-- BEGIN: ul_start --><ul class="ul-nav"> <!-- start sub nav list --> <!-- END: ul_start -->

<!-- BEGIN: li_start -->

<li class="li-nav"><!-- END: li_start --><a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId={DATA.cat_id}" title="{DATA.cat_name}">{DATA.cat_name} ({DATA.noProducts})</a><!-- BEGIN: li_end --></li>

<!-- END: li_end -->

<!-- BEGIN: ul_end --></ul></li>

I'm pretty sure that the only way to change this is via categories.inc.php.

Hi Andrea (Thanks for your response)

I only want to remove the Homepage option that gets listed at the TOP of the Categories listing so only my Products show. If I do what you suggest I think it will remove all my product categories no?

Best wishes

Hi Stee

So let me get this right you'd like to remove the *homepage link* within the category box right?

If that is the case then just delete this line

<li class="li-nav"> <a href="index.php" class="txtDefault">{LANG_HOME}</a></li>

and delete the rest

<!-- BEGIN: gift_certificates -->

<li class="li-nav"> <a href="index.php?_a=giftCert">{LANG_GIFT_CERTS}</a></li>

<!-- END: gift_certificates -->

<!-- BEGIN: sale -->

<li class="li-nav"> <a href="index.php?_a=viewCat&amp;catId=saleItems">{LANG_SALE_ITEMS}</a></li>

<!-- END: sale -->

that should do it.

Andrea :rolleyes:

Hi Stee

Oh dear, that is odd...which skin are you using?

Would you be able to provide a url?

also can you make sure that you clear out the *cache*

I don't mind helping, this is what the forums are all about .

Yes, clearing the store cache will fix the issue. During development better to disable SQL caching to avoid these types of issues... and re-enable it on store launch.

[Guest d4red3vil]

First off...Andrea your a gem. Thanks for your help and you can view my URL here www.dealerbuttons.co.uk/index.php but it's not live yet.

How do you clear or disable the SQL cache...Interestin :rolleyes:

thanks jeje

Ok depending on which browser you are using..... if Firefox which is what most designers/developers use then you'll need to go to Tools > Options > Privacy and clear out all your cookies.

As for your store, you'll need to log into

admin > General Settings > Enable debug output? set to NO

then go to

General Settings > Use SQL Query Caching (Recommended!) > set to NO

This should clear things up.

But if you want to change the name "Homepage" to something else, like "Home" instead.

Where do you do that? I can delete it but not change it.

The languages maybe crash or something like that?

Use the language system within Admin.

OK, so you can change the name there also? From Homepage to Home?

Cant find it ???? Please help!

You can do this by changing the {LANG_HOME}

to *Home* its probably the quickest way to do it so no language files are edited.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I have been looking for this too. I just found in the Admin > Modules > Languages area you can enter in alternate text for all kinds of stuff through the store. I changed Homepage to Home, plus changed Title of my Category box and Email box and a whole load of other stuff. worth exploring that area of admin.
