Removing Joomla 1.5 Web Link Category and Hit Counts

Joomla 1.5.9 leaves out a control parameter to avoid showing the “how many do you want to display” select dropdown when displaying a Web Link category.

To get rid of the Display # dropdown:

Go to components/com_weblink/category/tmpl/default_items.php

Remove

echo JText::_(‘Display Num’) .’ ’;
echo $this->pagination->getLimitBox();

To get rid of the category counts:

Go to components/com_weblinks/views/category/tmpl/default.php

Remove

 
<span class=”small”>
(<?php echo $category->numlinks;?>)
</span>

There’s also no way to remove the category counts from the Web Link category listing.

To remove the category counts:

In components/com_weblinks/views/categories/tmpl/default.php

Find

<a href=”<?php echo $category->link; ?>” class=”category<?php echo $this->params->get( ‘pageclass_sfx’ ); ?>”>
<?php echo $this->escape($category->title);?></a>

After that remove:

&nbsp;
<span class=”small”>
(<?php echo $category->numlinks;?>)
</span>

Even if you turn off hits in the menu item pointing to the Web Links the hits will display anyway. Perhaps due to cache, I’m not sure, the system ignores the Table Headings set to Hide parameter in the menu item pointing to the Web Link category.

To remove the table permanently (the administrator menu parameters will now not work at all though):

Go to Go to components/com_weblink/category/tmpl/default_items.php:

Find:

<?php if ( $this->params->def( ‘show_headings’, 1 ) ) : ?>

Change this to:

<?php if (false) : ?>

Find:

<?php if ( $this->params->get( ‘show_link_hits’ ) ) : ?>
Change this to:

<?php if (false) : ?>

The Joomla CMS file system should be, for the most part, 755 directory and 644 file permissions. FTP doesn’t handle recursive chmod very well. This is a shout out to FlashFXP ftp client for allowing the user to separately chmod file and directory permissions.
