Print Button

[Greu]

Greatings

 

In the front office, a "print button" allows customers to print each product page.

 

Does anyone know how to desactivate this function and hide the print button ?

 

Feel welcome.

Hi Greu,

 

Print Button (or link) is found in /Themes/<your themes folder>/product.tpl

In version 1.5.3.1 you find this line (other version probably similar, search for "Print")

<li class="print"><a href="javascript:print();">{l s='Print'}</a></li>

 

Edit this line, comment it out, redirect to 'Sorry no printing allowed" page. Up to you

 

 

Hope this helped,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

 

Thanks for your guidance !

Sure, it helps !

 

If I have correctly understood your solution, erasing this line from the script will make the button inactive.

Or did you mean that I only need to change one parameter in this line and leave the line ?

In this case, which one ? Into which value ?

 

Will the button also disappear or is it necessary to change another script for that result ?

 

Now, I'm thinking that maybe would it be simpler to only erase the button and leave the printing function intact ?

Printing might be needed somewhere else in the shop, and I only want to not incitate customers to print product pages.

 

I will need to wait your answer before action.

 

Thanks.

Hmm, in my 1.5.3.1 default theme there's only a link, no button or so.

Can you provide me a link to your shop?

 

 

I expect you can just erase this line from the file. The function stays still intact, this here is only a call of this function so that the user can start the print process. By taking it out, you just prevent them to print :-)

I'm sorry Pascal, it is not online yet (did you mean that ?).

YESSSS !!

 

Is there a symbol in the script language that, if added at the beginning of a line, will turn it from instruction into comment ?

In case we need to go back later.

Comments: Sure there is:

 

Single lines, or from 'this point on the line till the end of the line', use:

// everything behind these slashes is ignored

 

For Block of code you can use

/*

The code I don't want to use

And this line neither

*/
