Disable add listing in Category

[Oslo]

Hello,

How can let seller to must select a category to continue adding listing.

Because I have sector Auto, when somebody click on Auto, direct they continue to adding listing without choose car name.
Or in demo here if you wanna add a listing, if just click on Book, you can continue to add listing without select sub-category, but I wanna they must select the category, I don't wanna they just click on Book and continue adding listing without selecting Accessories, Audiobooks, Children

You need to lock the top level categories for those which have sub levels. Go to admin choose category for example auto, click to edit it, there should be option to lock it

Admin Panel > categories > edit (Books) - field "Lock the category" - yes and no options.
Please check it.

I deleted the "lock" image from gallery.png when i wanted it gone.

Just open gallery.png in a paint program and delete the part of the image that look like the lock

Already did it, still show it.

I deleted also gallery.png on server just for test it, still show on, and Refreshed system.

Hello all,

if you want remove 'lock' icon from locked categories you should do it in css.
Please go to ftp://templates>>your_template>>css>>style.css and find line div.tree ul li.locked > a, div.tree ul li.locked > label and in this style remove background: .....;
if you use rtl type for your site you should go to ftp://templates>>your_template>>css>>rtl.css and find same style here: div.tree ul li.locked > a, div.tree ul li.locked > label and in background you should white none
background: none;

it's solution for add listing page.
