show only the first 9 Categories on home page - possible? Modern Theme

[proclass]

I have more then 50  categories (per 3-4 Subcategory). On first(home) page need only 9-12  Categories.


For subcat (but don't work for main categories) :

Thank you for help

try this one

Locate these line in main.php

Code: [Select]

while ( osc_has_categories() ){

Replace the above line with this

Code: [Select]

while ( osc_has_categories() ){
if(osc_category_name()=="Vehicles"||osc_category_name()=="Real estate")
the above code shows only 2 categories fields(Vehicles,Real estate) and change code to show extra categories whatever you want

[proclass]

unfortunately don't work

If you only want to show a certain  number of categories, just set a variable up to count the number of categories being displayed. Then once you've reached your desired number of categories to display, stop.

Such as...

Code: [Select]

index = 0;
while ( osc_has_categories() && index < 12)
{
    ...
    ...
    index++;
}
Change '12' to however many categories you wish to show.

Hi jeller,

All you have to do is change line 57 $total_categories   = osc_count_categories() ; to this $total_categories   = 9 ; and then you will only have 9 categories loaded on the home page.
