i really need help hiding empty categories

[technoboy]

my store have alot of empty subcategories, i dont want to delete them because they have inactive products inside which will be activated and inactivated from time to time.

i found this contrib

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/...arch,no+catego

but i was lost on the part where this contribution configures index.php
I couldnt find the codes anywhere

it says on the instruction

//////////////////////////////////////
In your index pages that show the category and its subcategories
(index_nested.php for most)
Under
    while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) {
add
      if(tep_count_products_in_category($categories['categories_id'])){

And add the closing } near the 'while' }
//////////////////////////////////////

Please help

index_nested.tpl.php - it's in the content directory of your template (if not listed it will be in /templates/fallback/content/ )

I am having trouble reading that file. Can I get another clue on how to shut down the empty categories, both in the index_nested page and the Categories box?

Thanks,
K

this is the only way to hide em as ive searched everywhere

it helped me hide from index page, unfortunately in category infobox the empty subcategories is invisible but theres still empty space in their respective place, both the default and dhtml modification is affected. so what i did was i hid all subcategory alltogether
