How to remove 'sort by - grid - list'

[Heatherbell]

Setting up a new CE Phoenix BS4 shop.

Want to maintain current grid view of products but want to completely remove the 'sort by - grid - list' container from pages.

Any ideas gratefully received.

That should do it - I'm pretty sure that was the same in Frozen.  I'm not sure if that would have unintended consequences though.

OK, leave it with me - will test and come up with solution.

hoping for an answer.

I turned off the HT module as described above, this created an output of "grid", but with the list content...

to combat that, make a new file called "ggi.php", with this content;

class hook_shop_siteWide_ggi {
  var $ggi = null;
	  function listen_injectSiteEnd() {
    $this->ggi .= <<<eod
<script>
$('#products .item').removeClass('l-g-i').addClass('g-g-i');
</script>
eod;
    return $this->ggi;
  }
}

and upload into /includes/hooks/shop/siteWide/

@burt Just implemented your code, works fine - but maybe you misunderstand, in my original question at top of page (if you can wade through the politics) "want to completely remove the 'sort by - grid - list' container from pages."

I want that whole container to disappear, sort by and everything.

@Heatherbell

Is this what you want?

To completely remove the entire 'Sort By / List / Grid / Manufactures' container?

To do this required a lot of editing of the /includes/modules/product_listing.php file. @burt may have a way to do this without core changes, but if not, are you willing to do core changes?

@ArtcoInc Many thanks for your reply - that is exactly what I want - always easier said than done! Core changes now seem to be frowned upon but I am willing to do anything (up to a point :))

[burt]

OK, I did miss that...

You've a couple of options, note that I have not tried any of them so syntax may be a little out - but it should give you ideas;

A.  remove the code by amending core code (note that is nothing "bad" about core code changes, I just advise to do it as little as possible and then to try to remember what you did for future reference). 
- remove this block of code: 
https://github.com/gburton/Responsive-osCommerce/blob/master/includes/modules/product_listing.php#L40-L103

B. hide that same block of code using .css
- add this to user.css:  
div.alert-filters { display: none !important; }

C. hide that same block of code using javascript
- add this to that ggi.php that I had you create earlier in the thread: 
$('div.alert-filters').hide();

As mentioned, syntax may be out but gives the general idea.  Of the three, I'd likely do it in the .css if it was me.

@burt Thank you so much for taking the time for this - you are a gem!

The user.css addition worked like a charm!

You could also put something like this in the .css (for reminder);

/* removes grid/list entirely, see www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/493639-how-to-remove-sort-by-grid-list */
div.alert-filters { display: none !important; }

@burt @Heatherbell

What I had done essentially was option A (I commented it out instead of actually deleting it). But, IMHO, option B would be a better way to do it.

@burt !

Great advice - I am an idiot and I need to adopt this practice for everything I do from now on, especially with my shiny new Phoenix!
