hideCategories

hideCategories is a specialized contribution that allows the admin to declare categories (and all products within) as "hidden", to one degree or another.

Folders can either be hidden from the main menu (sidebox and main page) or you can go a step further and hide them from All Products, New Products, Featured Products, Advanced Search, and Best Sellers as well.

This module was designed for a very specific purpose, so its usefulness in your situation is up to you to determine. Whether or not this is of any use to your store is completely up to you to find out. hideCategories was developed by the original author with the purpose of using it for "custom packages"... ie: having custom one-off products or packages that are intended for a specific person and not the general surfing public.

Features
=========
* You can declare a category as:
o Normal
+ Products display as normal
o Hidden from menus
+ The "Hidden from menus" option means the categories side box and index listing page won't list that category for public viewing. However, the category behaves normally other than that (products within ARE listed in the "All Products" link and are available through search, etc).
o Hidden (Direct-link only)
+ The "Hidden (Direct-link only)" option hides your hidden categories from searches and the "All", "Featured" and "New" listings as well as search results. This is similar to disabling the product/category except that it can still be seen if the customer has a direct link to the products URL.
* Your choice is made in the normal categories admin page when you EDIT a product.

Limitations
============
* Many DEFAULT Zen Cart listings, menus, and pages are included -- so "as is" this module should cover MOST store configurations. However, there may be listings, menus, or pages from other mods that the hidden status may not be applied where you might expect otherwise.
* If there are places where you need to hide a product which is not included in this module, you can (and SHOULD) take a look at the files in this module to help guide you in how to add the hidden functionality to other lists, menus, etc.
* Hidden products/categories are only hidden from the following sideboxes:
o Categories
o BestSellers
o What's New
* The "specials" menu link or sidebox will not be hidden. However, this should not pose any real issues with using this module since truthfully there is no reason I can think of where a shopowner would add a hidden product to their store specials.
