[solved] Force Compile v1.5.4

[Shular]

I commented out the date of birth in the authentication.tpl for the default theme to remove that option for the customer account creation. In performance I have force compile selected.Under that cache is disabled. After uploading the modified file and refreshing the page, I still see the Date of Birth question.

 

It seems that force compile is not enough to make the change. What needs to be done?

Look again there is more then one instance of Date of birth as one page check out and standard 5 step are both included.

Thank you, I found the additional Date of Birth and commented that out and uploaded the tpl. It still shows on the customer creation page.

Clear your smarty cache and compile folder located ../cache/smarty/ leave any index.php files you may find.

Reload the page and see if it still appears.

I just cleared ..cache/smarty/cache except the index.php. There was nothing with a recent date in that folder. It did not force the change.

 

Thanks

Are you sure you commented them out correctly <!-- code -->.

Try just deleting the lines as you can always upload the file from the unzipped folder on your computer if things go wrong.

 

The 2 location are around line 221 and 397, both are coded the same and should look like below when commented out correctly.

 

 

 

<!-- <p class="select">

<span>{l s='Date of Birth'}</span>

<select id="days" name="days">

<option value="">-</option>

{foreach from=$days item=day}

<option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>

{/foreach}

</select>

{*

{l s='January'}

{l s='February'}

{l s='March'}

{l s='April'}

{l s='May'}

{l s='June'}

{l s='July'}

{l s='August'}

{l s='September'}

{l s='October'}

{l s='November'}

{l s='December'}

*}

<select id="months" name="months">

<option value="">-</option>

{foreach from=$months key=k item=month}

<option value="{$k}" {if ($sl_month == $k)} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s=$month} </option>

{/foreach}

</select>

<select id="years" name="years">

<option value="">-</option>

{foreach from=$years item=year}

<option value="{$year}" {if ($sl_year == $year)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$year}  </option>

{/foreach}

</select>

</p> -->

Yes you were correct - I read in another place to use /* */

 

When I changed it to the regular HTML comment it worked. Thank you for your patience.
