[SOLVED] How to comment out fields on backend

[PSdilemma]

Hi everyone,

 

I have been searching the forum but couldn't find answer.

I am on PS 1.5.4.1. In the backend under the price tab I would like  to remove the "Pre-tax retail price" and "Tax rule" fields. In the prices.tpl I have commented the related codes but I get a blank page when I click the price tab and even can't move to other tab. Even just commenting the "Pre-tax retail price" causing the same problem.

I must be doing something wrong.

I have tried both methodes:

{* COMMENT *} and <!-- COMMENT -->

 

This is an example for commenting the "Pre-tax retail price":

{* <tr>
        <td class="col-left">
            {include file="controllers/products/multishop/checkbox.tpl" field="price" type="price"}
            <label>{l s='Pre-tax retail price:'}</label>
        </td>
        <td style="padding-bottom:5px;">
            <input type="hidden"  id="priceTEReal" name="price" value="{toolsConvertPrice price=$product->price}" />
            {$currency->prefix}<input size="11" maxlength="14" id="priceTE" name="price_displayed" type="text" value="[spam-filter]toolsConvertPrice price=$product->price}|string_format:'%.2f'}" onchange="noComma('priceTE'); $('#priceTEReal').val(this.value);" onkeyup="$('#priceType').val('TE'); $('#priceTEReal').val(this.value.replace(/,/g, '.')); if (isArrowKey(event)) return; calcPriceTI();" />{$currency->suffix}
            <p class="preference_description">{l s='The pre-tax retail price to sell this product'}</p>
        </td>
    </tr> *}

 

What else should I do?

 

Thanks

Thank you Vekia for your reply.

I have turned on the error reporting but I see nothing. It doesn't show any error

I have attached a file to show how it looks when I click on prices.

The way I am turning on the error reporting is via the file defines.inc.php

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

@ini_set('display_errors', 'on');  I have turned on the similar two instances.

ok i checked it, it's because these fields are necessary for prestashop back office.

without these fields prestashop displays javascript errors:

 

what to do?

if I were you, i will add there <tr style="display:none;"/>

Thank you Vekia.

That did the trick.

I have replaced the <tr> with <tr style="display:none;">  (without the forward slash)

No comment require in this case.
