Magento 2 – How to Remove Sorting and Positioning Tools from Category Page

categorycategory-productsmagento2toolbar

How do I remove the sorting and positioning tools from the category page in frontend? Can I remove them in a way that I only disable them from one category?

Best Answer

You can remove it by overriding the following template

/vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/list/toolbar.phtml

and comment out the following code

   <?php if ($block->isExpanded()): ?>
            <?php include ($block->getTemplateFile('Magento_Catalog::product/list/toolbar/sorter.phtml')) ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

This will affect all categories.

To do it for a specific category. Create in your theme a custom_toolbar.phtml file like the original but with commented out the above code. Then go to the specific category in Magento admin, click on the tab Design and on the Layout Update XML add the following code

<referenceBlock name='product_list_toolbar'>
    <action method='setTemplate'>
        <argument name='template' xsi:type='string'>Magento_Catalog::product/list/custom_toolbar.phtml</argument>
    </action>
</referenceBlock>

Magento Category Products – Sorting Products in Parent Category by Subcategories and Position

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for months and I've finally figured out what the problem is.

You need to make sure that every single product category has it's parent categories ticked also. For some reason, any higher categories than the sub are just added to the end of the collection (if the anchor is set). Here's a script I've written and placed into the shell folder so that it can be run manually or via cron:

<?php

 * @package     Mage_Shell

 */

require_once 'abstract.php';

/**
 * Assign products to parent category
 *
 * @category    Mage
 * @package     Mage_Shell
 * @author      Liam McArthur <email-address@withdrawn.com>
 */
class Mage_Shell_Compiler extends Mage_Shell_Abstract {

    public function run() {

        $collection = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/product' )->getCollection()->addAttributeToSelect( '*' );

        foreach ( $collection as $product ) {

            $lastCategoryId = end( $product->getCategoryIds() );

            $category = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/category' )->load( $lastCategoryId );

            $ids = array();

            foreach ( $category->getParentCategories() as $parent ) {
                // Ignore root category
                if ( $parent->getId() != 2 ) {
                    $ids[] = $parent->getId();
                }
            }

            // Assign above categories to product
            $product->setCategoryIds( $ids );
            $product->save();
            echo $product->getSku() . " saved..." . PHP_EOL;

        }
    }

}

$shell = new Mage_Shell_Compiler();
$shell->run();

Magento – magento 2 : Remove catalog.leftnav from non anchored category page

i know this post is old, but i found a simple solution.

go to Backend > Products > Categories chose the category you want to remove catalog.leftnav from

then go to Design tab, inside Layout Update XML put <referenceContainer name="catalog.leftnav" remove="true"/>

this should remove catalog.leftnav from that category only.
