how to stop displaying one category link on Home page

I want link to one category not to display on home page along with other categories. (It can be searched and displayed in search results though) Simply visitors can't access this category from home page of linkssql.

Is there any way I can do it?

thanks.

Hi,

Mmm.. the problem with doing that, is the way the loop is done. What you would need to do, is pass in $category_loop into a global, then loop through - and "remove" the category you don't want showing, and then return it.

Trying to not really work today - but maybe I'll have a look for you next week, to see if I can come up with anything.

Cheers

Hi,

Please try this.

edit_cat_loop_home

Code:
sub { 

   my $category_loop = $_[0]; 
   my @category_loop; 
   foreach (@$category_loop){ 
	if ($_->{ID} == 1) { next ; } 
	push @category_loop, $_; 
   } 

   return { category_loop => \@category_loop } 

}

Simply change:

Code:
$_->{ID} == 1

..to the ID number. If you want to stop more than one category showing, just change to:

Code:
	if ($_->{ID} == 1 || $_->{ID} == 123 ) { next ; }

..etc.

Call with:

Code:
<%edit_cat_loop_home($category_loop)%>

(at the top of the home.html template)

I've tested this, and seems to work fine :)

Cheers
