can't make new prods go away by editing index.php

[bbw]

I'm trying to edit my includes/languages/english/index.php file and everything is good except I cannot make that table/box with all the "new products" go a way. I have commented out what I thought was the correct line(s), and then removed these three lines, all of which I don't need.

 

/*

define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');

define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');

define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

*/

 

I'm using StS (simple page template) but I don't know if the problem is related to this, or if I'm just editing the wrong file, or in the wrong way.

 

A link to see:

Thanks

all you are doing when you comment those out is the defines which say new products . . . .

 

if you want to remove what you are talking about , you will need to start in the catalog/index.php

I see now - that makes more sense!

What whould I take out? I'm not having any luck with guessing since I'm just learning this cart's guts AND php in general. I took a couple of stabs at what I tought it would be, but it hasn't worked with what I've removed.

Thanks very much!!

I could really use some help on what to edit out of the catalog/index.php file to get rid of the new products box. Anyone?

Thanks!

I have the answer for you, since I had to do this today as well.

 

First Backup your index.php file

 

find

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

There are 2 instances of this, YOU MUST FIND THE SECOND ONE

 

Remove the SECOND instance of it....just hit delete.

 

Upload the new file and refresh, DONE!

In case you want to put it back there someday, and alternative would be to comment it out, like this:

 

<td><?php // include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

Thanks for that tip as well. Although I'm obsessive about backing up, and I keep .txt files with everything I "remove" just in case, I also keep tips like this, JUST IN CASE! Thanks!!!
