Excluding Boxes On Checkout Pages

[douglaswalker]

Hi Guys
I am on Bootstrap and i am trying to workout the best way to exclude certain boxes on the checkout pages. For instance I don't need to show the review box on checkout_shipping, checkout_payment etc. 
Just trying to reduce customers getting distracted when they are down to the business of paying.
 
This is  code i have in the reviews box template with the code (thanks to this forum) to exclude it on index.php but not product listing.

How could i amend this to exclude checkout pages.

 

Or another idea

 

Exclude the whole left column on checkout pages to keep distraction to a minimum.

 

Example code 

<?php
  if ( (!strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'index.php')) || (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'index.php') && isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) || isset($_GET['cPath']) ) )  { ?>

<div class="panel panel-custom">
  <div class="panel-heading panel-heading-custom"><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('reviews.php'); ?>"><?php echo MODULE_BOXES_REVIEWS_BOX_TITLE; ?></a></div>
  <div class="panel-body"><?php echo $reviews_box_contents; ?></div>
</div>

<?php
  }
?>

All help appreciated

 

Doug

Doug take a look at how it is done in (eg) the currencies box ...

[douglaswalker]

Ok will check it out

[douglaswalker]

Ok so this is what I did and it appears to have worked..

 

@@burt thanks for the treasure hunt clue.

 

This is my bm_specials box altered to not appear on any file_name which has the word checkout.

 

How does this look to you guys...

function execute() {
      global $PHP_SELF, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $languages_id, $currencies, $oscTemplate;
 
 if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') {


   if ($random_product = tep_random_select("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price from products p, products_description pd, specials s where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = s.products_id and pd.products_id = s.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and s.status = '1' order by s.specials_date_added desc limit " . MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_SPECIALS)) {
     
 ob_start();
        include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'boxes/templates/specials.php');
        $data = ob_get_clean();
        $oscTemplate->addBlock($data, $this->group);
      }
    }
}

So I added 

$PHP_SELF,

 

to

function execute() {
global $PHP_SELF, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $languages_id, $currencies, $oscTemplate;

 

and then

if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') {

 

then added a closing

}

 

All seems to work fine. I will experiment with other boxes.

This is all in an effort to clear away unneeded boxes etc during checkout.

That looks correct Doug :thumbsup:

 

just need to tidy it up

    function execute() {
      global $PHP_SELF, $HTTP_GET_VARS, $languages_id, $currencies, $oscTemplate;

      if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
        if ($random_product = tep_random_select("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price from products p, products_description pd, specials s where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = s.products_id and pd.products_id = s.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and s.status = '1' order by s.specials_date_added desc limit " . MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_SPECIALS)) {
          ob_start();
          include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'boxes/templates/specials.php');
          $data = ob_get_clean();
          $oscTemplate->addBlock($data, $this->group);
        }
      }
    }

@@douglaswalker,

 

There is a more generic and easier approach which has been already posted somewhere else. It also works for any content module:

    function isEnabled() {
    	global $PHP_SELF;
    	if(substr($PHP_SELF, 0, 8) == 'checkout') {
    		$this->enabled = false;
    	} else {
    		return $this->enabled;
    	}
    }

[douglaswalker]

Many thanks guys

So which is the most efficient do you think?

 

 

Was just testing and 

@@raiwa your version is certainly easier to drop in. Easier to not miss a brace.

 

Thanks so much

Doug :thumbsup:

    }

 

 

Yes, this is another way but $this->enabled is being returned in the above statement when the condition is true

should be:

    function isEnabled() {
    	global $PHP_SELF;
    	if(substr($PHP_SELF, 0, 8) == 'checkout') {
    	    $this->enabled = false;
    	}
  	return $this->enabled;
    }

[douglaswalker]

so the else is un-needed?

[auzStar]

correct

 

the value of $this->enabled is being changed then returned

[douglaswalker]

So I suppose this is the way to have the box only appear on the checkout pages.

Please correct if this is wrong. :blush:

function isEnabled() {
global $PHP_SELF;
    	if(substr($PHP_SELF, 0, 8) == 'checkout') {
      return $this->enabled;
    }
}

Hi Doug,

 

to show only in checkout pages:

    function isEnabled() {
    	global $PHP_SELF;
    	if(substr($PHP_SELF, 0, 8) != 'checkout') {
    	    $this->enabled = false;
    	}
  	return $this->enabled;
    }

so if it's not at the checkout, the box gets disabled (only shows during checkout, assuming the box is enabled in admin)

 

cheers

[douglaswalker]

Thank-you once again.
