How do I omit product notifications box.

[toolcrazy]

I would like to omit the notification box from the product page and the checkbox from the checkout success page. I am going to sell a lot of one of a kind product and I don't think it is necessary.

 

Or even better yet is there a way to make notification box appear on only selected product pages. For instance, my one of a kind product won?t get the notification box, but the items I have several of will get it. I know this idea will be more involved because of the admin side needed, but maybe for a later release.

 

I am using Ian's OCS loaded v4 12/5/2002 with all updates.

 

Thanks for the wonderful forum,

Yeah, I too would like to know the answer to this question..

Well, I figure it out myself, or at least the omit part. Here is what I did;

 

Went to catalog/includes/column_right.php and comment out:

 

/* include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'product_notifications.php'); */

 

Twice, why? I don't know why they have it twice, and I stayed inside the curly brackets. I find this easier and less confusing. This gets rid of the box on the product pages.

 

Now to get rid of the check box on the checkout success page. I went to catalog/checkout_success.php and commented out this block of code,

 

/*

if ($global['global_product_notifications'] != '1') {

echo TEXT_NOTIFY_PRODUCTS . '<br><p class="productsNotifications">';

$products_displayed = array();

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products_array); $i<$n; $i++) {

if (!in_array($products_array[$i]['id'], $products_displayed)) {

echo tep_draw_checkbox_field('notify[]', $products_array[$i]['id']) . ' ' . $products_array[$i]['text'] . '<br>';

$products_displayed[] = $products_array[$i]['id'];

}

}

echo '</p>';

} else

*/

 

I never delete, commenting always leave me the option of adding it back in later.

 

Notice to all: I am not a programer. I do have a basic understanding of PHP, but not good enough to write code yet. If I am wrong on these changes, please let me know. I am still learning.

 

I am using OSCLoaded v4 12/5/02 with all patches.

I think you might have forgotten something...

 

in My Account (account.php) there is a button "Notifications"

you'll have to comment that out also...

 

cheers
