Virtuemart: a hack to hide empty categories

For users of Virtuemart. In

This hack shows how we have overcome a typical limitation of most popular E-commerce for the CMS Joomla.

You can see the results on the site

www.autovenneri.com

created by us. Issue: The category pages contain a list of all their sub-categories each showing the number of products, even if it is zero.

Solution: on root of our Joomla site (with Virtuemart 1.1.x installed) open the file

/ / components / virtuemart / themes / [theme used] / common / categoryChildlist.php

and look for the line containing the code: foreach ($ categories as $ category) {
if ($ icle == 1) {/ / this is an indicator wether a row needs to be Opened or not

echo "\\ n";}

?>
grafting the code below in red

foreach ($ categories as $ category) {

if (($ category ['number_of_products']) == "(0)") continuous, / / \u200b\u200bhack

if ($ icle == 1) {/ / this is an indicator wether a row needs to be Opened or not
echo "\\ n";}

?>

This simple condition that prevents content from being displayed without the categories, using the command "continue" inside the foreach loop that generates the Table of category names.
