Hide 'subcategories'

[Gonzalop]

Hello I am using Beez 20, I set in a menu item to show the category in a blog format in order to see the content of the category. The thing is that i have sub-categories in this category and appear the title : 'Sub-categories' I cannot find how to hide this, someone know?

Thank you very much

[xurxinho]

i've got the same problem

[AbdRahim]

me too. I Just want to see a list of categories and no subcategories until I click in the category. This way I can view a short list of subcategories in one category. Right now the page is filled with all of the categories and their subcategories.

You can set the number of levels that show:
Menu item > Category options > Subcategory levels (select desired outcome, i.e none)

Hi There,

Please how can I remove that Subcatogories Title in the Category List Menu?

Code: Select all

<h3>
			Sub-categorias		</h3>

Please check the screen shot.

Thank you

[cmsj]

Please how can I remove that Subcatogories Title in the Category List Menu?

Category manager> Options> Category> Subcategory Levels (set this to 0).

Thanks. But that will also stop showing the subgategories.

I would like to remove just the Title: Subgategories.

Have the same problem, want to get rid of subcategory title not the subcategory list.

In the options there is no setting to remove subcategory title, there is however a setting to remove category title. And also there is no way to input 0 as someone has suggested, you only have None, All, 1,2,3,4,5.

A little bit annoying, should be easy to solve, but it is not.

[technoboyuk]

Found a solution elsewhere, might help others until a better solution comes along.

How to hide Subcategory Title

Edit language/en-GB/en-GB.ini

find on line 195

JGLOBAL_SUBCATEGORIES=”Subcategories”

replace with

JGLOBAL_SUBCATEGORIES=””

Another way to achieve same result is to edit language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini

and add this line

JGLOBAL_SUBCATEGORIES=””


Worked for me

Cheers

iv followed the above instructions but the change isnt showing on my website

[technoboyuk]

Assuming you have also changed options in article manager regarding subcategories then it might be you need to clear cache.

I did have problems with the last one (override) just use the Edit language/en-GB/en-GB.ini and it should work, that is all I did.

Ensure you don't remove the line completely, only remove the word Subcategories

Cheers

This is an easy fix, although it doesn't remove it from the source code, it does remove it from the display.

In your template css file, add this rule:

Code: Select all

div.cat-children h3 
{
	display:none;
}

The subcategory text will no longer display.

Sometimes we miss the simplest solutions. Glad I could help!

This worked very well for me. Thanks for the help!
Does anyone know how to hid the link list aswell?

[keb1965]

The only problem with that is that the attributes of the subcategory div remain on the screen to be seen. By using the CSS fix above, the entire div is rendered invisisble.

I create patch for solved this.

[LukeDouglas]

The CSS code is the way to go to resolve this. If you hack any of the underlying Joomla code, it may be overwritten by future updates. I use the Gantry framework and have mycustomstyles.css file so even a template update will not break my changes.

Is the only way to hide 'subcategories' by making changes to code?

It is bad, very bad to hack code, period. Use CSS to simply 'hide' the container. You can do this in a mycustomstyle.css in the 'css' directory. If you are not familiar with this process, read this forum post as it rocks: http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index. ... =viewtopic

You will need to determine the container class or ID by inspecting the webpage. I use Firebug with my Firefox. Once you find the class or ID, simply add it to your mycustomstyle.css.

Here's an example. Let's say your DIV container class name is 'subcat'. Then add this to your mycustomstyle.css sheet:

Code: Select all

.subcat > div {
height: 0px;
overflow:hidden;
}

If this doesn't work, then try this:

Code: Select all

.subcat > div {
height: 0px !important;
overflow:hidden !important;
}

Basically, we are setting the height of the container to 0px so that any content causes an overflow and then the overflow will be hidden, thus hiding the content.

When I create a new website with Joomla and Gantry, the first thing I do after installing my Gantry template is to add this custom style setup. I do it for all of my sites and it works just fine.

[victord]

On j25 Go to Menu Manager»Choose the category Blog Menu you want to change»On the right click on Category Options»on Subcategory Levels choose None

It worked for me.

[A Guy]

Code: Select all

div.cat-children h3
{
   display:none;
}

Won't this fix also remove all h3 tag displays from showing? For instance I am pretty certain that some extensions use h3 tags to display certain text.

[Per Yngve Berg]

No, unless they have the h3 in a div with class cat-children.

[jsgdmbnhl]

Is there any particular spot that the code should be added (main layout, header, showcase, etc)? I am using the RocketTheme Afterburner template.

[jsgdmbnhl]

I am able to hide menus and subcategories.

[Archangel Michael]

The CSS solution is the best here. However I find it only marginally acceptable. Editing a CSS or Core files is not a real solution for THIS issue. The real solution is to have the option to not display "Subcategories" at all. It is a description that the site visitor probably cares little to nothing about and therefore it detracts from the page.

I've edited the CSS to hide it, however the real solution is to give the option from that menu.

Subcategories Description: Hide, Show, Global.

IN my case, we have a Category called "Newsletter" each Subcategory is Month/Year label. I don't want "Subcategory" appearing on the page, just a list of the newsletters available. Changing the setting to 0 shows none of the newsletters, and 1 simply is the "Subcategory" heading followed by the Newsletter Titles. YUCK.

I saw the fix submitted back in Feb to the code, and am wondering why it hasn't yet been reviewed/edited and added to the tree.

I suspect these forums are not read very often by the development team. You should probably post a suggestion to https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgr ... ev-general

[dgreenspan52]

The CSS fix works for display, but does anyone know a way to remove the <h3>Subcategories</h3> from source code?

Thanks!

Why do you not use the archive for this?
