Hide Categories on frontpage?

[ikone1]

Hi how can i hide "Categories" on VM front page? same for Featured prod or Top ten..

thank you.

In VM-Configuration -> Templates set the "layout for your home page" to "default_products".
this should do the trick

Theres no "default_products" option. The only option i have is "default"

I don't want the top level categories to show on my frontpage ? Any idea ?

Thanks!

Make a copy of joomla_root/components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/tmpl/default.php and using a plain text editor either remove or comment out this line:

Code Select Expand


if ($this->categories) echo $this->loadTemplate('categories');


Save the file as, for example, default_nocats.php and ftp it into your Joomla template's html override directory ,  joomla_root/templates/(your joomla template)/html/com_virtuemart/virtuemart/      See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=90935.0

Then in VM configuration/Templates/VirtueMart Home Page Settings select your new override in "Layout for your home page"

Using the override means that the edit will not be overwritten by VirtueMart updates, although you should check if the original version code of that template changes during an update, in which case you recreate the override.
