Remove Browse Controls When a Category Is Empty

[qwerty678]

Hello,
I want to hide the browse controls (manufacture, pagination etc) when the category has no products.

I try to change inside the template and inside the vm 3 the line

Code Select Expand

if$this->showproducts{ ?>

to

Code Select Expand

if(!empty($this->showproducts)){ ?>

But nothing happens.
Is there any other line that I have to change?

I'm using Vm3 and joomla 3.
Thank you.

if$this->showproducts{ ?>  is just the config setting

you would need something like

if ($this->showproducts && $this->products  ) { ?>

maybe .. something similar anyway

Code Select Expand


if (($this->showproducts) && (!empty($this->products))) {
