I too would like to know how to remove the newsletter checkbox.

[prosto]

in account_detais.php Find this

<?php echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER; ?>

and comment it out

 

then right below find this

if ($is_read_only == true) {

   if ($account['customers_newsletter'] == '1') {

     echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_YES;

   } else {

     echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_NO;

   }

 } elseif ($processed == true) {

   if ($newsletter == '1') {

     echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_YES;

   } else {

     echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_NO;

   }

   echo tep_draw_hidden_field('newsletter');  

 } else {

   echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('newsletter', $newsletter_array, $account['customers_newsletter']) . ' ' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT;

 }

 

and comment the whole thing out.

 

Worked for me

In my version of OSC (2.2 - MS2), the code recommended to change in account_details.php is actually in the admin/customers.php file

 

 

To remove other instances of it (i.e., in the My Account screens and such) you will need also to edit catalog/account.php by commenting out (//--) the lines below as I have done around line 481

 

<td class="main"><?php //-- echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER; ?></td>

<td class="main"><?php //-- echo tep_draw_checkbox_field('newsletter', '1') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>

 

 

and catalog/account.php around line 212

 

<?php //-- echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'arrow_green.gif') . ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_NEWSLETTERS, '', 'SSL') . '">' . EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS_NEWSLETTERS . '</a>'; ?>

I found the appropriate code to comment out.. but perhaps I am commenting it out incorrectly?

 

This is what I did:

//<?php echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER; ?>

 

and...

 

//if ($is_read_only == true) {

 

if ($account['customers_newsletter'] == '1') {

 

echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_YES;

 

} else {

 

echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_NO;

 

}

 

} elseif ($processed == true) {

 

if ($newsletter == '1') {

 

echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_YES;

 

} else {

 

echo ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_NO;

 

}

 

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('newsletter');

 

} else {

 

echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('newsletter', $newsletter_array, $account['customers_newsletter']) . ' ' . ENTRY_NEWSLETTER_TEXT;

 

}

 

Should I have commented out anything else?
