Hide Categories without Ads

[markstanden]

Hello,

Is there any way to hide categories that have no ads on the category page? When a listing is added the category would then show. This would be a great feature.

thanks for any help

You should be able to do that at the template level.

Open home.tpl and find:
{if $data[td]<>""}

Replace with:
{if $data[td]<>"" && $data[td].total > 0}

Thanks Eric,

That sort of worked.. but it leaves gaps in the table where the categories with ads should have been, ill have a play with the code to see if i can get it working. Thanks

Thats because the table data tag is above the evaluation. You really want to evaluate if there are ads before you create the table data tag.

Have you had any luck with this?

v4 is really better than v3, a lot of things are possible now, I do have to change a lot of php files, however I first try to change tpl files before editing php files,

here is the solution you are asking

PHP Code:

<table width="100%">
            {section name=tr loop=$data step=$cols}
            {if $data[tr]<>"" && $data[tr].total > 0}
                <tr>
                    {section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
                    {if $data[td]<>"" && $data[td].total > 0}
                    <td valign="top">
                        {$data[td].start_link}<strong>{$data[td].name}</strong></a>
                        {if $data[td].total <> ''}
                        ({$data[td].total})
                        {/if}
                    &nbsp;
                    </td>
                    <td>
                    {/if}
                    {/section}
                </tr>
                {/if}
            {/section}
            </table>
