hello i'd like to remove some unnecessary tabs in admin product edit page. i want to remove customization, attachment, supplier tabs , but was unable to detect which file to edit. if anyone knows please help.

Thanks

[vekia]

well, it's not good idea, but if you want, you should give us information about what prestashop version you use

[sickshot]

oh sorry i forgot. version is 1.5.3.1

 

I know this is not a good idea but i really need to remove them

[sickshot]

hello

 

in controllers / AdminProductsController.php near line ~97 you've got:

 

$this->available_tabs = array('Quantities' => 6, 'Warehouses' => 14);
 if ($this->context->shop->getContext() != Shop::CONTEXT_GROUP)
  $this->available_tabs = array_merge($this->available_tabs, array(
   'Informations' => 0,
   'Pack' => 7,
   'VirtualProduct' => 8,
   'Prices' => 1,
   'Seo' => 2,
   'Associations' => 3,
   'Images' => 9,
   'Shipping' => 4,
   'Combinations' => 5,
   'Features' => 10,
   'Customization' => 11,
   'Attachments' => 12,
   'Suppliers' => 13,
  ));

 

try to manage the array elements, you will see how it works

I have done this in the past using css, for example:

 

#link-Suppliers {display:none;} to remove the suppliers tab I was not using.

If you need to do this for different admin access levels, then you need conditional PHP to test the employee profile.

[sickshot]

hello, sorry for late reply...

unfortunately I was unable to test this solution as the project was canceled. anyway Im sure me or someone else will find it usefull

What about the main tabs, how can we remove some of them wich we don't use (shipping for example)?

I want to simplify the system for the novice users.

 

Was a silly question. Sorry.

I've tried the same thing in Prestashop 1.6.0.6.

 

I've removed the following tabs that I don't use. By adding // in front of each tab name in controllers/admin  AdminProductsController.php

Suppliers.

Features

Attachments

Combinations

Shipping

 

I don't use any of these tabs in my store or any of their content, If you don't use the content of any of these tabs on any product in your store it should be safe to remove/hide, although it's not recommended.

I could not remove the "Customization" tab since I could not save the products due to "link rewrite" error. So I recommend keeping that tab even if you don't use it.

 

Did a basic test of product creations, copy, sale, front and back office and I see no problems.

 

        // @since 1.5 : translations for tabs
        $this->available_tabs_lang = array(
            'Informations' => $this->l('Information'),
            'Pack' => $this->l('Pack'),
            'VirtualProduct' => $this->l('Virtual Product'),
            'Prices' => $this->l('Prices'),
            'Seo' => $this->l('SEO'),
            'Images' => $this->l('Images'),
            'Associations' => $this->l('Associations'),
            // 'Shipping' => $this->l('Shipping'),
            // 'Combinations' => $this->l('Combinations'),
            // 'Features' => $this->l('Features'),
            'Customization' => $this->l('Customization'),
            // 'Attachments' => $this->l('Attachments'),
            'Quantities' => $this->l('Quantities'),
            // 'Suppliers' => $this->l('Suppliers'),
            'Warehouses' => $this->l('Warehouses'),
        );

        $this->available_tabs = array('Quantities' => 6, 'Warehouses' => 14);
        if ($this->context->shop->getContext() != Shop::CONTEXT_GROUP)
            $this->available_tabs = array_merge($this->available_tabs, array(
                'Informations' => 0,
                'Pack' => 7,
                'VirtualProduct' => 8,
                'Prices' => 1,
                'Seo' => 2,
                'Associations' => 3,
                'Images' => 9,
                //'Shipping' => 4,
                //'Combinations' => 5,
                //'Features' => 10,
                'Customization' => 11,
                //'Attachments' => 12,
                //'Suppliers' => 13,
            ));

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! It worked for me as well with commenting out thx =-)

 

[cyberespia]

Worked for me correctly, thank you very much!

What about hidding assocciations tab? I know it is necessary but it takes 15-30 seconds to load every time i save the product. For example if i want to add an specific price i have to wait to associations tab to load.

 

What i want to do is to disable the associations function and create a custom product to category associations script apart from product edition. When creating a product it will be assigned to a custom/hidden category and then i will move it to the correct one. 

 

I have about 10k categories and i know this is the main problem but while we create another category tree and assign our more than 250k products to them i think the commented above could be a solution.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks
