We are developing a module in magento to display categories to customers on front. These categories will be shown in tree structure as same as displayed in product edit form in admin panel.
So, to implement this, we have followed the same logic as followed on product edit form in admin panel and able to display all categories in same way as displaying in product edit form.
Now, we want to disable few categories in this tree structure on the basis of category ids which will be select by admin in admin panel. So that customer could not check/uncheck these categories but see in disabled mode.
We have tried many logics and then searched a lot to know, how can be disable categories in category tree on the basis of category ids but nothing found?
Can anyone help us to how can be resolve this problem?
Waiting for solution

I have a magento store with various categories one inside another (subcategory). My problem is that when we enter in the admin to manage categories in the category tree on the left, the categories or subcategories don't appear. Only appear to creat the "new root category" but doesn't work... So.. it's impossible add or see the category/subcategory tree. Anybody can help me?
Check the 'store view' drop down in the top left of the 'Manage Categories' page. I'd be clicking on all the views to see which one had the category tree in it.
If you still can't find the category tree then it might be a data problem with the category set up.
Can you give more information about the history:Did this all work and then one day the categories just disappeared? Have you been using bulk import tools? Does the front-end of your site function normally?
A screen shot might help.
Also please inspect the Magento and web-server error logs to see if there is any error information.
I am new to CS-cart and trying to set this up for my multi-vendor e-commerce shop.(and I am not a programmer)
So here's my problem, I don't want products to be displayed on any category pages.
This is the flow I am looking to have
Grid of main categories (on homepage)> List of sub category> Associated Sub category> and then products.
I'll assume you are on the latest release of Cs-cart (v.4.x.x), as you did not mention it.
You can control wether you want to show products from subcategories or not through the global setting option "Show products from subcategories of the selected category" that you'll find on the Settings/General menu of your admin area. See the screenshot:
I hope that helps you!
I have 1 magento installation with 2 websites. i want to set a subcategory from website 1 as rootcategory of website 2.
and i don't know the id of the category, because this is local and has to work on production with other categories. So i can't set the id of the wanted category in code.
it must be adjustable in the backend.
in system->manage stores-> select a store
here you can set the rootcategory but there are no subcategories available.
is the only solution to build a module to select the id of the category?
copy
app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Resource/Category/Collection.php
to
app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Resource/Category/Collection.php
update around line 414
$this->addLevelFilter(1);
to
$this->addLevelFilter(2);
What this will do is when you go into System -> Manage Stores and click on the Store Name.
It lets you set the Root Category. This dropdown will now not only display the root categories but also the level 2 categories. It's perfectly fine to use a subcategory as the root category in a certain store.
This is really beneficial if you're running a corporate site and then a bunch of branded sub-sites but you don't want to manage a million different duplicate categories.
I understand what it is you're trying to do but not why. Are you trying to display specific categories for each Store View? You don't have to worry about Root Category to solve this.
I'll assume you're using a newer version of Magento Community Edition 1.5+.
Leave the category for both Store Views set to the same Root Category
(default is Default Category)
Go to Catalog > Manage Categories.
For each website you will need to enable/disable each subcategory to
build a custom catalog from the Root Category.
Above the category listings you can switch which Store View you need to customize. Leave this set as "All Store Views" and customize which subcategories you want or don't want for Website 1.
To do this just click on the specific category > General Information tab and set the Is Active to Yes or No. Disabled categories will grey out.
Once completed switch to the Store View of the other website "Website 2" and select a category that will be different than the default.
Now, to the right of the various fields you will see a checkbox (checked by default) labeled Use Default Value.
Uncheck the Use Default Value checkbox beside the Is Active field and toggle it to yes/no.
Save Category.
Now when you view each store you will see that the catalog is different.
Does this solve your issue?
I have multi website, multi stored Magento shop, and I have a need to make some products available in one store_view, but not available in the other, where both store_views are part of the same store and website.
All my products are configurable with simple products attached to them. Only way I could think of solving this is registering a new product attribute through which I control where each product goes. That works great for the catalog and lists of products, but I have huge problems with single product view and choosing the configurable product options.
I can't seem to find where in Magento core those option are generated, so I could override that and strict some options for each store view. Basically, I need to know where is this
generated. My last resort would be managing this through AJAX, but there is already a lot of AJAX code and calls in that page that it would be confusing.
Any help or tip would be very appreciated.
I am pretty sure that the way above is not working because the attribute enable/disable product has impact at website level and not store or store view!
So if you do like tomakun says the product will be disabled at the whole website and not just for the store view you choose first!
I have the same problem that I want to assign different products all to one website but to different stores.
So far I just found the solution above to change the visibility at store view level.
But I think this not the optimal solution. It should be possible to disable a product on store level!
This feature is already available by default in Magento.
For bulk enabling/disabling products for a particular store view, do the following:
Go to your Catalog > Products
Select a store view above the product list.
You are now viewing all products included in THIS store view.
Once you have the correct store view selected, select the products you want to Enable or Disable using the checkbox on the left.
Now, using the Actions dropdown menu on top right of the product list, choose 'Change Status', select 'Disabled' or 'Enabled' and hit the Submit button.
Doing this will Enable or Disable the selected products from the selected store view (step 2). This is good for bulk actions but you can also do the same for all products one by one:
Open your product, select the relevant store view on top left of the page. Then in the General Tab, you have status: Enabled or Disabled. Choose the option that you want to apply for the current store view and hit Save.
That's it!
I have gone to admin -> manage product -> product information page -> related products
Then I added a product that is related, and saved.
I went to that product and refreshed the page, but nothing changed. Why not?
Also, be sure to check that the product you're trying to see in 'Related Products' is not already in your cart. Magento has a default filter applied that removes items in the cart from the related products collection.
Solution:
Login to Admin
Go to System -> Index Management
Select All checkboxes
Select 'Reindex Data' from Actions selection list
Click Submit button
Reference: Magento Up-sells Cross-sells and Related products are not showing up
Related Products appear in product info page, in the right column.
Cross Sell items appear in the shopping cart.
Upsells for this product are items that your customers would ideally buy instead of the product they’re viewing.These appear on the product info page underneath the product description.
As a result, I understand that you would show products bottom of the product info page, you should choose upsells instead of related products.
If you want related products ( which I can misunderstanding you ) do following things :
Check related product status is enabled.
Check visibility status set "Catalog" or "Catalog Search"
If everything is fine, check the inventory of related products.Stock should be greater than 0.
Last thing, related products must be include a category. Click "categories" link to check and see if the product added in a category.
Click on the "Reset Filter" button on top of the related product listing. It will list all products in table. Or you can clear cache + reindex data.
I had the same issue. After some time ago, I found that the products are not made to be visible in the visibility section, and that the products are not set to be in any website.
Hope this is the answer, and should be, because if you set up everything right there is nothing that can make problems.
Make sure the product and related product are under the same website. This isn't apparent when adding the relating products.
One possible pitfall you can run into is that you use a template without a right column. In that case you have to use unsetChild and insert to move the related product block.
