Hi,

I have a client that is wanting to remove the category and subcategory links that appear on each product page. I have remove the words "Our Products:" but not sure how to remove the links.

Any ideas?

Alex

I think you're asking about the Category Breadcrumbs....

Which file you'll need to edit depends on which layout you're using.

Two Column Layout, with image on the right (viewPrdC.asp)
Two Column Layout, with image on the left (viewPrdL.asp)
One Column Layout, with image in the middle (viewPrdO.asp)

Open the appropriate file and search for the following and comment it out:

pcs_CategoryTree

Hi Rotokirby,

I tried your suggestion but the link still appeared.

According to the display settings, we have a 2 column layout with image on right so I commented out the "pcs_CategoryTree" in viewPrdC.asp but with no difference.

Any other ideas?

If you go to http://www.chiminea.com.au/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=3 - http://www.chiminea.com.au/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=3 you will see that the link for Cast Iron Outdoor Fireplace is not necessary as it links back to itself.

Any idea how to get rid of it?

Hi,
Yes :
In viewCategories.asp look for the following :


        '*******************************
        ' Show current category info
        '*******************************
        ' Show BreadCrumbs - current category name and location - If subcategory z %>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <h1><%=pCategoryName%></h1>
                <div class="pcPageNav">
                <% 
                response.write dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewCat_P_2")
                response.write strBreadCrumb
                intIdCategory=pIdCategory

                '// Load category discount icon
                %>

and comment out the two response.write lines.

HTH,
Hamish

Hi Alex,
FYI and for others who may read this - a great way to track things like this down is by starting from the variable in the languages file that changes either the string you are interested in, or one near it & then search for that variable in the file(s).

In this case a scan for viewcat_P_2 reveals matches in viewCategories.asp and viewPrdCode.asp.
