Hiding unused sub cats

Hello David

Yes, open this file: wp-content\plugins\woocommerce-products-filter\views\html_types\checkbox.php, find function woof_draw_checkbox_childs – it is on the top of the file and write next code just after beginnning of the function:

if($term_id != 615){
return;
}

where 615 is term ID for BROADCAST

By the way – there is not possible with 1.1.3.1 so file wp-content\plugins\woocommerce-products-filter\views\html_types\checkbox.php shroud be changed to: https://www.woocommerce-filter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/checkbox.zip – unpack before use

Hi RM,

Thank you for this.

I’ll work with my developer and let you know how I get on.

Hello RM,

My developer whom you have also responded to had already implemented the code above but it’s not what I want.

My site: https://www.transmittersrus.com/

In the horizontal red bar along the top of the left hand menu you can see my five top level categories; BROADCAST, STUDIO, SOFTWARE, COMPONENTS & USED GEAR.

By default I have an expanded BROADCAST top level category in the left hand column.

If you click on the red band TLC tabs STUDIO, SOFTWARE, COMPONENTS & USED GEAR. you will see the left hand column list of sub categories change.

In the home page left hand column you will see the four ‘collapsed’ top level categories at the foot of the left hand menu.

If you click on any of them the ‘expanded’ BROADCAST list of sub categories above should collapse and be replaced by that new top level category sub cats list but as you can experience presently it does not work.

I would like it to work.

As I showed you in my previous mail the website https://www.broadcastwarehouse.com has a left hand menu with four top level categories. If you click on any of them, in the left hand column you will see they then display their respective sub categories while the remaining three top level categories collapse.

I hope I have explained clearly what I would like to happen functionality wise.

If you have any questions or are unsure of anything please just ask.

Thanks.

David

Hello David

If you click on any of them the ‘expanded’ BROADCAST list of sub categories above should collapse and be replaced by that new top level category sub cats list but as you can experience presently it does not work. – no, it is not behavior of the plugin!

Example of how it is, look on the plugin categories:
* https://www.demo.woocommerce-filter.com/
* https://www.demo.woocommerce-filter.com/product-category/clothing/
* https://www.demo.woocommerce-filter.com/product-category/clothing/man/
* https://www.demo.woocommerce-filter.com/product-category/clothing/man/pullover/

When you surfing trough cat pages you can see that product categories is shown as sub-cats of current page category! But if you stay on the shop page https://www.demo.woocommerce-filter.com/ you will see always all terms of Product Category taxonomy …

https://www.broadcastwarehouse.com/studio-&-audio/2/cat – here displayed just relevant categories for current pages – and how its done – not known for me

Here https://www.transmittersrus.com/ we working with searching plugin which shows relevant search variants and not simple links to subcategories which achieve is very simple using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/widget-logic/

If you want to show smth special on your cat pages:
* https://www.transmittersrus.com/product-category/rf-transmission/
* https://www.transmittersrus.com/product-category/studio-amp-audio/
* https://www.transmittersrus.com/product-category/radio-amp-tv-software/
you can use this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/widget-logic/ and https://www.woocommerce-filter.com/documentation/#!/section_3_1 and shortcode like: [woof tax_only='pa_color,pa_size' by_only='by_sku,by_author']

Hello RM,

Thank you for the reply.

Let me study your mail and I will get back to you.

Thanks again.

David
