Remove 'New Products for...' box


Guest

Recommended Posts

Which files do I edit to remove the 'New Products for...' box?

 

I've removed the box from the index page but I get the box in subcategory pages. Which file do I edit to remove these also?

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it does but unfortunately it only advises regarding column_left and column_right. These columns do not house the 'New Products for (current month)' box.

 

Does anyone out there know which file I edit to remove the box in question. I've already managed to get rid of it from the index page but when I access any category it appears at the bottom.

Monty,

 

:thumbsup: I personally like the Featured Products contribution which replaces the New Products for Month box with a Featured Products box (or whatever you decide to name it) that allows complete control over the items (or no items) in that box.

 

You said you already made the edits in the index file but I will list them just in case you missed something:

 

To remove the "new products for" box...

 

In index.php

 

 

1. About line 121 (for the category pages..)

 

Remove:

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

 

2. About line 313 (for the front page...)

 

Remove:

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

 

Hope you find this helpful,

Bill Kellum

Yes! Very much so! :thumbsup:

 

I had removed the code from around line 313 but had neglected to remove the code from around line 121. I never realised both paths were in the same file.... Doh! :lol:

 

Thanks Bill. I can stop going square-eyed and insane trying to find the answer.
