Removing number of listings in home.tpl.php

[SkGold]

On my Calgary Real Estate section in the categories table under the last category (rentals) I want to remove number of listings. I need to do it because I just want to use the link to other section. But in this case the number of listings all the time will be zero.

The problem is, that I want to remove number of listings only under this category, and leave them under any other category. I am guessing that it could be done with {if} {else} statements, however I can not figure out how to do this.

Is it possible?

Any help appreciated.

The best way that I can think of is by modifying the home template file and locate the {html_table_adv section. Then replace it with this:

{section name=tr loop=$data step=$cols}
                <tr>
                    {section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
                    <td valign="top">
                    {if $data[td]<>""}
                        {$data[td].start_link}<img src="{$data[td].image}" border="0" alt="{$data[td].name}" /></a> 
                        {$data[td].start_link}<strong>{$data[td].name}</strong></a>    {if $data['td'].name!="Looking for Rental Property? Click here."} ({$data[td].total}) {/if}
                    {/if}
                     
                    </td>
                    <td>
                    {/section}
                </tr>
            {/section}

Thanks Eric,
However when I did the change I got error:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in home.tpl.php line 17]: syntax error: unidentified token '['td'].name!="Looking' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1396) in /home/.../public_html/realestate/includes/classes/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Just to make sure I changed this:

PHP Code:

{html_table_adv loop=$data cols=$cols table_attr='width="100%"'}
    [[start_link]]<img src='[[image]]' border='0' alt='[[name]]' /></a>&nbsp;[[start_link]]<strong>[[name]]</strong></a>
    ([[total]])
    <br />
[[subcats]]
{/html_table_adv} 


To this:

PHP Code:

{section name=tr loop=$data step=$cols}
                <tr>
                    {section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
                    <td valign="top">
                    {if $data[td]<>""}
                        {$data[td].start_link}<img src="{$data[td].image}" border="0" alt="{$data[td].name}" /></a>&nbsp;
                        {$data[td].start_link}<strong>{$data[td].name}</strong></a>    {if $data['td'].name!="Looking for Rental Property? Click here."} ({$data[td].total}) {/if}
                    {/if}
                    &nbsp;
                    </td>
                    <td>
                    {/section}
                </tr>
            {/section}

I was kind of afraid of that when I posted it.

However can you get the category id and replace the if statement with this:

{if $data['td'].id!=6} ({$data[td].total}) {/if}

Where 6 is the id of the category.

Thanks Eric, however still getting error:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in home.tpl.php line 17]: syntax error: unidentified token '['td'].id!=246' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1396) in /home/....../public_html/realestate/includes/classes/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

I was looking for ID by using {debug} and got this:

5 => Array (8)
id => 246
name => Looking for Rental Property?<br>Click...
image => templates/realestate/images/folder.gif
description => empty
cLink => http://rent.allaboutcalgary.com
subcats => <div class="small">...</div>
start_link => <a href="http://rent.allaboutcalgary....
total => 0

Then in home.tpl.php I put this code:

{section name=tr loop=$data step=$cols}
<tr>
{section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
<td valign="top">
{if $data[td]<>""}
{$data[td].start_link}<img src="{$data[td].image}" border="0" alt="{$data[td].name}" /></a> 
{$data[td].start_link}<strong>{$data[td].name}</strong></a> {if $data['td'].id!=246} ({$data[td].total}) {/if}
{/if}
 
</td>
<td>
{/section}
</tr>
{/section}

I tried it again still same error. Eric do you have any other thoughts?

[Eric Barnes]

Here some other things to try.

 {if $data['td'].id != 246}

 {if $data['td'].id != "246"}

{if $data['td'].id neq 246}

I think it may need the extra spaces I added.

[SkGold]

I tried everything suggested plus some other variations with spaces and no spaces. No luck, still the same error.

[SkGold]

Eric fixed it. If somebody interested here is the right code for this. It is also don�t need apostrophes around [td].
Thanks a lot Eric.

{if $data[td].id != "246"}
