ParticipantHi Steve
Is it possible to hide categories from displaying on a listing’s card in the same way we can hide categories in the sidebar of the directory? Our members tag themselves under 5 different category groups in their member form in the backend. However, we only want to display 2 of these category groups in the front end. That is working great for the sidebar hierarchy by using the widget settings.
However, in a member’s listing, all entries from all 5 category groups are still shown. Is it possible to somehow restrict these as well so that I can match what is in the sidebar?
Thanks!

Hmmm… good question actually. Let me look in the code real quick…

Yes, but not perfectly…
You can hook into the
cn_entry_output_category_itemfilter and check for a “permitted” category ID and if one is not found return an empty string. Something like this:add_filter( 'cn_entry_output_category_item', 'cn_remove_entry_output_category_item', 10, 6 ); function cn_remove_entry_output_category_item( $html, $category, $count, $i, $atts, $entry ) { if ( in_array( $category->term_id, array( x, y ) ) ) { return $html; } return ''; }Change
xandyin the code snippet to the two category ID/s that you want to be displayed. Al other will be tossed.Now, I said this is not perfect… You’ll end up with “extra” commas where the categories should have been displayed — I think. If you do, the next update, I added extra logic, jujst now to make sure that will not happen.
Hope this helps!

Probably a stupid question but this goes into the card.php file within the cmp folder, correct?
Just wondering though whether this code would separate out the categories by parent group or does it still leave them all mixed up together like in the current list?
If separating out would require a customisation job, then can you please mail me a quote for this as it is definitely what the client is looking for prior to going live to ensure that the card’s content is aligned with the search options in the left sidebar. Basically, we would look for the categories to be listed in groups, with the category group name first and then followed by the children selected by the relevant member in that group, then preferably a paragraph break (but line break at minimum) followed by the next category group name and children.
Would that be possible? Thanks for your advice and help as always.
08/29/2016 at 9:37 am #388090ParticipantSorry, forgot to say that I don’t mean the original card.php file but the relevant override file.

re: Probably a stupid question but this goes into the card.php file within the cmp folder, correct?
No, you would add this as a new snippet using the Code Snippets plugin.
re: Just wondering though whether this code would separate out the categories by parent group or does it still leave them all mixed up together like in the current list?
No, this does nothing to group by parent, only display the category (by ID) which you do want to be displayed.
re: If separating out would require a customisation job
Yes, to group by parent, this would require custom work to the template.
re: can you please mail me a quote for this
Sure! Could you toss together a quick mockup of how you would like this presented first? I’m thinking you want something like this, but want to be certain (category names just for presentation, not accuracy :) ).

08/29/2016 at 3:21 pm #388108ParticipantOh, I’m a plonker about the Code Snippet plugin – of course!!
With regards to the mock-up, what you have suggested there is exactly what I am looking for. Preferably with a paragraph separator between categories rather than line-break – if at all possible. And perhaps the parent categories could be in bold?

08/29/2016 at 3:22 pm #388109ParticipantParagraph separator less important if we can make the parent categories bold (if I can do that myself with CSS that’s fine too).
08/29/2016 at 5:23 pm #388122Keymaster@ Carolin
One separator is just as easily done as they other, same with the bold. I just emailed you a quote. I can lean on existing code so I can do this relatively quickly and therefore inexpensively.
08/30/2016 at 3:12 am #388180ParticipantThanks, Steven. Let’s go ahead with that quote.
