Hello all,

when there is no any product a category, i see “There are no products under this category” message, how can i remove this message, even there is no any product a category, i dont see any message the category, is it possible? thnx

You will probably have to remove the text from the language variable. I can’t see one with that specific text, but it is probably “text_no_products”. Just search your language variables for “no products”.

Tbirnseth’s solution would work just fine. Another solution would be to edit:



skins/your-skin/customer/views/categories/view.tpl



Just delete:


{$lang.text_no_products}





Near the bottom of the file.

Zapping it at the language variable level has the benefit of not having the change overwritten by a future upgrade. Why manage changes to standard templates when you don’t have to? I always prefer to find a non-conflict method if at all possible. But everyone has the method they are comfortable and familiar with.

I wasn’t trying to promote one way or the other. I was just saying that it could be done either way.



I agree, changing the language variable would be the better way.

It’s all good Brandon. Trouble is that the breadth of technical savvy here is so wide, it’s difficult to know the audience we’re responding to. I try (and I know you do to) to educate wherever possible. Kind of the teaching to fish versus giving them a fish.



Your alternative approach is great for some and your support of the forums is greatly appreciated and recognized.
