Look at the code mentioned again. It checks paternity atleast once... if a
department or subdept is no ones parent don't wrap it in a link.
Why would you have an empty dept anyway? If you don't have anything to put
in a department don't add it till you do.
And quit formatting your mail with rtf or html... it makes some of us
twitch... then again, we twitched when images were added to hyper-text.

Hello Michael;
I have been working with freetrade for about 3 months now and am having a
great deal of luck getting it working. When i do have a question I look
through all the code first and then through the mailing list archive, only
as a last result do I ask for help. I am not a programmer, but am trying
hard to become one. I have usually found this group to be supportive and
helpfulI have gone out and purchased Leon's book and use it alot.
I don't know what you mean when you say "You were just given help on how to
prevent an empty shopping cart from showing up." Yours is the first
response I have recieved about this query and not very helpful I might add.
The status bar display nothing about what page or screen you are on. And
the source shows nothing about the missing and/or blank screen. I have
spent a number of hours looking for the answer to this problem with no luck.

Shawn,
You were just given help on how to prevent an empty shopping cart from
showing up. You can look at the source (or the status line of your browser)
to determine which screen module is being called when you click on a
department. You should be able to rub those two sticks together to get a
fire. It seems to me (my opinion only) that you want to be spoon-fed
everything. You've been working with FreeTrade long enough that you should
be able to figure this out. This is very basic. Put a message in saying
"Sorry, no items..."
If you are not a programmer (or don't aspire to be one) you picked the wrong
e-commerce solution. FreeTrade is a 'get your hands dirty' solution.
I don't want to discourage you from asking questions. I want to discourage
you from asking questions before try to solve the problem yourself.

Subject: [FreeTrade] Empty categories and blank screens
Hi;
Does anyone know how to prevent the blank screen that seems to always
accompany an empty category? I find it very unelegant that ahen a customer
views an empty category they are taken to a blank screen. Any way around
this?
Shawn
