sub grid category

Hi,

I cannot seem to find where I need to remove the sub category in grid form that shows on the subcategory pages with the sub category titles in version 4.20

Regards

Do you mean you only want lines and not a grid ?

This is in the category template

nopCommerce42\Presentation\Nop.Web\Views\Catalog\CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml

Hi garrie007,

if you want to remove the sub-category grid the easiest way is to hide it with some CSS like so:

.category-page .sub-category-grid {
     display: none;
}

However, the best and safest way would be to comment them out from the above-mentioned view file. But if you are using any theme it would be in the following location:

~ Presentation\Nop.Web\Themes\{ThemeName}\Views\Catalog\CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml

And the part you want to comment-out is the sub-category-grid wrapper with everything in it:

@*<div class="category-grid sub-category-grid">
...
</div>*@

Best Regards,
Valentin.

If you are working with source code then it will be good to comment out subcategory generating code from the source code/code behind. It will also increase the performance a little. As you do not need it at the front end then from the code behind no need to manipulate/generate the subcategory. To comment out the code you need to go to the Presentation==>Nop.Web==>Factories==>PrepareCategoryModel method and comment out the bellow code

            
var subCategoriesCacheKey = string.Format(NopModelCacheDefaults.CategorySubcategoriesKey,
                category.Id,
                pictureSize,
                string.Join(",", _workContext.CurrentCustomer.GetCustomerRoleIds()),
                _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id,
                _workContext.WorkingLanguage.Id,
                _webHelper.IsCurrentConnectionSecured());

            model.SubCategories = _cacheManager.Get(subCategoriesCacheKey, () =>
                _categoryService.GetAllCategoriesByParentCategoryId(category.Id)
                .Select(x =>
                {
                    var subCatModel = new CategoryModel.SubCategoryModel
                    {
                        Id = x.Id,
                        Name = _localizationService.GetLocalized(x, y => y.Name),
                        SeName = _urlRecordService.GetSeName(x),
                        Description = _localizationService.GetLocalized(x, y => y.Description)
                    };

                    //prepare picture model
                    var categoryPictureCacheKey = string.Format(NopModelCacheDefaults.CategoryPictureModelKey, x.Id, pictureSize, true, _workContext.WorkingLanguage.Id, _webHelper.IsCurrentConnectionSecured(), _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id);
                    subCatModel.PictureModel = _cacheManager.Get(categoryPictureCacheKey, () =>
                    {
                        var picture = _pictureService.GetPictureById(x.PictureId);
                        var pictureModel = new PictureModel
                        {
                            FullSizeImageUrl = _pictureService.GetPictureUrl(picture),
                            ImageUrl = _pictureService.GetPictureUrl(picture, pictureSize),
                            Title = string.Format(_localizationService.GetResource("Media.Category.ImageLinkTitleFormat"), subCatModel.Name),
                            AlternateText = string.Format(_localizationService.GetResource("Media.Category.ImageAlternateTextFormat"), subCatModel.Name)
                        };
                        return pictureModel;
                    });

                    return subCatModel;
                }).ToList());
