Hide/Empty categories?

[ohiobiz]

Is there any way to hide categories AND/OR don't show empty categories?

[Nick Collins]

Sure, you only need to disapprove these categories.

Thanks Nick.

Thanks Nick.
No problem ;)

Right, but in that case new links can not be suggested to the category that is in approval status. It would be nice to have that there is a category option to select when suggesting a link but that category should not be shown if empty (if there are no links). What file should be modified for this to work?

Hello
Just make some changes in includes/classes/esynCategory.php
find function getAllByParent
and code in this function
$sql .= "AND t1.`status` = 'active' ";
after this code add
$sql .= "AND t1.`num_all_listings` != '0'";

You also can play with it - to add this line in other functions (getNeighbours etc.) and see result.

Don't forget make backup of esynCategory.php :)

Oh sorry :)
In Omega version this file is DirCategory.php
