I don't want the category hidden from customers in general, just from a particular menu I have on the site- this way I can create a couple of different expanding menus for different types of things.

I did a quick test on my local server and it appears to be exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you!!! I love these forums!!!!

The below code removed an item from the menu on my site. I’musing ProductCart v2.75g12a16. Without getting too deep into the matter, I wouldthink that you might run into many other issues around your site. The menu item(s) wouldstill appear on ‘generating a static site index’… the search results wouldstill display items in the hidden categories.. etc etc. etc.

Find the file “inc_catsmenuA.asp” in the /pc/ folder

Go to line 109

I wanted to remove category 3 so I changed line 109 fromthis:

query="select idcategory,categorydesc from categorieswhere idParentCategory=1 and idCategory>1 and iBTOhide=0 " &pcv_strTemp & " ORDER BY priority, categoryDesc ASC"

to this:

query="select idcategory,categorydesc from categorieswhere idParentCategory=1 and idCategory<>3 and idCategory>1 andiBTOhide=0 " & pcv_strTemp & " ORDER BY priority,categoryDesc ASC"

to remove category 3 and 7 you could try:

query="select idcategory,categorydesc from categorieswhere idParentCategory=1 and idCategory<>3 and idCategory<>7 andidCategory>1 and iBTOhide=0 " & pcv_strTemp & " ORDER BYpriority, categoryDesc ASC"

you might also want to check the latest version of ProductCart. Maybe it addresses your issues? also, if any database techies can see a reason NOT to use the above code please speak up!

hope it helps

nothing

I did try that.

Unfortunately, if I use the hide catagory option, and I place a link to this specific catagory in another area, when you click on it you receive an error message that the catagory does not exist.

Can you use the "Hide Category" feature?
