Do not want certain boxes to show up during checkout

[Gemini05]

I have created 2 new boxes on my oscommerce site, but do not want them to appear on the shopping cart page, or during the checkout process. How can I have them appear while customers are browsing the site, but not in the shopping cart?

Hmmm, you could try making a copy of the page that contains the boxes, renaming it, comment out those boxes in the new page and then editing all the pages that you don't want those boxes to show on to pull up the new copied page instead of the original page.

 

For example:

column_left.php has the new boxes. Copy it, name it column_left_cart.php. Comment out the extra boxes on it and save it. Edit the main shopping_cart.php file to include column_left_cart.php instead of the original column_left.php. Go look and see if it worked. If it did, keep up the changes through the checkout process.
