Removing footer links (Specials, New products, Top sellers)

[KraDors]

Hello.

 

I want to remove the Specials, New products, Top sellers links from my footer.

 

How can I do that?

 

In the cms editor, I only can disable the whole footer, but not disable a single link.

 

Thanks

In the end of modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl you can see the code that displays these links.

Try commenting out the code you don't want, ie

{*
	{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}<li class="first_item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop.php')}" title="{l s='Specials' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Specials' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>{/if}
	<li class="{if $PS_CATALOG_MODE}first_{/if}item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('new-products.php')}" title="{l s='New products' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='New products' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>
	{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}<li class="item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('best-sales.php')}" title="{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>{/if}
	{if $display_stores_footer}<li class="item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('stores.php')}" title="{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>{/if}
*}
	<li class="first_item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact-form.php', true)}" title="{l s='Contact us' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Contact us' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>

Note that I changed class from "item" to "first_item" for the (new) first link (to remove the pipe |).

I would like to remove Specials and Top sellers, and have tried to delete the following two lines, but nothing has changed:

 

{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}<li class="first_item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop.php')}" title="{l s='Specials' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Specials' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>{/if}

 

{if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}<li class="item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('best-sales.php')}" title="{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Top sellers' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>{/if}

 

Any ideas what I can do?

 

Many Thanks

Did you turn off cache etc in BO (Preferences, Performance, Force Compile: YES + Cache: NO)?

Ahh, yes that has solved it. Thank you! There is a message in the BO saying that Cache should be turned on though.

 

The only issue now is that there's a | symbol to the left. of the footer links. Do you know which bit of the file I need to delete to remove this?

[mohsart]

"Note that I changed class from "item" to "first_item" for the (new) first link (to remove the pipe |)."

"first_item" should be the first and "last_item" last to get the pipes right.

Once it looks OK, turn cache back on and force compile back off, or you will have avery slow site :-)

I have this in the tpl file:

 

 

<!-- MODULE Block footer -->

<ul class="block_various_links" id="block_various_links_footer">

<li class="{if $PS_CATALOG_MODE}first_{/if}item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('new-products.php')}" title="{l s='New products' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='New products' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>

<li class="item"><a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact-form.php', true)}" title="{l s='Contact us' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Contact us' mod='blockcms'}</a></li>

{foreach from=$cmslinks item=cmslink}

{if $cmslink.meta_title != ''}

<li class="item"><a href="{$cmslink.link|addslashes}" title="{$cmslink.meta_title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$cmslink.meta_title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></li>

{/if}

 

{/foreach}

</ul>

<!-- /MODULE Block footer -->

{/if}

 

I tried to change the bit highlighted to first_item, removing the {/if} but I just ended up without a website.

 

Sorry for all the questions.

 

Many Thanks

[mohsart]

You're at the wrong place

<li class="item"> -> <li class="first_item"> for the first instance of <li class="item">

 

/Mats

[mohsart]

Eh, sorry.

replace

<li class="{if $PS_CATALOG_MODE}first_{/if}item">

with

<li class="first_item">

dunno what happens if not in $PS_CATALOG_MODE though...

Excellent, I replaced the line above and it worked.

 

Thank you.

I am having the same issue getting rid of those links in the footer including specials, new products, top sellers and our stores. I made sure of the settings with cache and deleted the files from modules/blockcms/blockcms.tpl but still they show. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Also, I don't understand why this section can't be built into the backend of this cart. It seems like such an obvious thing.

Hellos,

My Specials,new product, store links are not working while in URL rewrite,

This page is not available .

any one got that issue?

 

thanks

[ricky11]

Very surprised that their is no way to do this in BO, why is it to do very simple CMS things we need to edit TPL files? this should be in the cmsblock, can someone explain why they decided to leave it out?

[vekia]

hello

 

prestashop is an opensource software. Everyone of us, simple merchants, programmers, ps lovers and everyone else have got possibility to develop features and include them to the official release (via github)

 

it looks like not everyone were interested to develop this feature, i suppose (and it's only my opinion) due to the fact, that modification of tpl file is much easier than modification of module core to develop feature like that.
