Removing Gift Certificate FAQ from sidebox in V1.3.8a

[ronlee67]

I just completed a v 1.3.8a clean install and want to remove "Gift Certificate FAQ" and "Discount Coupons" from the Information sidebox.

Several previous forum posts related to earlier ZenCart versions say to go to Admin->Modules->Order Total and de-install the related modules. I have verified that neither module was installed, yet the sidebox still lists these two items.

How do I remove these items from the Information sidebox in ZenCart 1.3.8a?

WIth a standard Zen 138, and the standard template you need to remove both of these modules to remove the links. If you have another template installed over the top of your store, you may need to check these template files. The two files to check are includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPALTE/information.php and includes/tempaltes/YOUR_TEMPLATES/sideboxes/tpl_information.php. These are the files which determine and show the information links.

Zen 138 performs the following checks as standard, to determine whether or not to display the links:
// only show GV FAQ when installed
if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS == 'true') {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_GV . '</a>';
}
// only show Discount Coupon FAQ when installed
if (DEFINE_DISCOUNT_COUPON_STATUS <= 1 && MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS == 'true') {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DISCOUNT_COUPON) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_DISCOUNT_COUPONS . '</a>';
}

Both of these constants: MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS and MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS only esist in the database if the modules are currently installed, and displaying in the admin under Modules >> Order Total with green dots.

Thanks for the very correct and concise response.

I am using the iC_AcadameV1.2 template, so following your guidance I did the following:

1. Created new directory: includes/modules/sideboxes/iC_AcadameV1.2/
   
2. Copied /includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php to
   /includes/modules/sideboxes/iC_AcademeV1.2/information.php
   
3. Created new directory: includes/templates/iC_AcadameV1.2/sideboxes/
   
4. Copied /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_information.php to /includes/templates/iC_AcademeV1.2/sideboxes/tpl_information.php

When done, my Information Sidebox now displays correctly.

Under Modules >> Order Total, you will need to remove the coupon and gift cert modules.

If you just want to remove the links, and leave the modules installed, you will need to edit includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPALTE/information.php and includes/tempaltes/YOUR_TEMPLATES/sideboxes/tpl_information.php accordingly.

Done that now and it works. Thanks for your help.
