How to remove dropdown of a top category

ThemeBurn Support › Forums › OpenCart Themes › Shoppica OpenCart Theme › How to remove dropdown of a top category

This topic has been marked as not resolved.

I want to make one of my categories unable to show a drowdown menu for his subcategories.

Is this possible? :)

Hi,

Unfortunately, for the moment only top level categories could be hidden from the main menu e.g.

We may consider adding this, as an option for future versions.

Ah okey I see!

Is it possible that after I hide the category I just add an link in one of the files pointing to that exact category?

That works all the way until I realized I don’t get the text on the link translated if a user change the language. >.<

But it could work anyway. But is there no way of hiding the Information page?

In the next update it would be great if this is an option :)

I don't want to mess up to much so I might just use the regular categories with the dropdown.

will it be alright if I just add <?php /* at the beginning of the file and */ ?> right before my custom link?

Won’t be a problem. Doing so will comment everything before your menu. Just be sure, not to have nested php comments.

Thanks alot for your help! :)

I did what I think you asked me to do. But I get an error message:

Notice: Undefined property: Document::$category_color_name in

/home/chickise/public_html/catalog/view/theme/shoppica/template/module/shoppica_information_menu.tpl on line 36

This is my code in shoppica_information_menu.tp around line 36, where the link is on line 36:


<!-- use this if you want to add another custom menu -->
<li id="custom_menu_id">
  <a href="/color" style="margin-left:0px;"><?php echo $this->document->category_color_name; ?></a>
<li>

This is my translation in catalog/language/swedish/module/shoppica.php:

// Main Menu
$_['shoppica_menu_inside']      = 'Inside %s';
$_['shoppica_menu_brands']      = '%s Märken';
$_['shoppica_menu_information'] = 'Information';
$_['category_color_name']    = 'Färger!';

Thanks again for your help! And I am sorry as I am a bit rookie on the subject. But I can’t see what I did wrong.

Ah, I changed the entire “shoppica_text_your_variable” I left the shoppica in the beginning and it works :)

Thanks alot for the help with both the category AND translation!
