Disable "New products for MONTH" and Shipping

[buynetspace.com]

Hello,

 

New to the project, and so far I think I will be able to use it. I am running into some road blocks as I am offering services and not products...

 

I would like to disable the "New products for.." and shipping all together. I will have no need for shipping because I am not shipping anything. I tried commenting out lines in index.php like

 

// needed for the new products module shown below
$new_products_category_id = $current_category_id;

 

and the lines below it, but to no avail as it still shows on front page.

 

 

Any help is appriciated.

 

Thanks

this is how I did it and it seemed to work, I edited these files,

 

catalog\includes\languages\english\index.php

 

find

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

 

and just add "//" in front of define

 

catalog\index.php

 

find

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 

there should be two, and just add "//" in front of include

 

catalog\includes\filenames.php

 

find

define('FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW', 'products_new.php');

 

and once again, add "//" in front of define (you're catching on, right?)

 

now replace the corresponding files on your server and that should do it

 

cheers!

Oh, and for the shipping, I think you can just remove/uninstall any shipping modules in your admin control, should be under modules then shipping.
