remove special instructions

[ebaobao]

is there a setting on admin or do we still have to use this option?

tpl_checkout_payment_default.php
tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php

and move them to my custom overrides directory.

the code i changed was as follows:

tpl_checkout_payment_default.php:

Comment out lines 178 - 182

<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '3'); ?>
</fieldset>

tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php:

Comment out lines 117 - 120

<fieldset class="shipping" id="comments">
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '3'); ?>
</fieldset>

There is not an admin switch. Just remove the section of code from the templates and put the changed copies in your overrides.

Hi Kim,
I manage to remove them from the payment and shipping templates, but can you tell me which part of the code in the checkout_confirm template to comment out? I'm new to php and don't want to mess up commenting out the wrong code.
Thanks!

In my template it was around lines 91 ->96

<!--
<h2 id="checkoutConfirmDefaultHeadingComments"><?php echo HEADING_ORDER_COMMENTS; ?></h2>
<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo  '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_EDIT_SMALL, BUTTON_EDIT_SMALL_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<div><?php echo (empty($order->info['comments']) ? NO_COMMENTS_TEXT : nl2br(zen_output_string_protected($order->info['comments'])) . zen_draw_hidden_field('comments', $order->info['comments'])); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Hi, I'm also trying to remove the special instructions box completely, but I'm a bit lost. I cannot find a file called tpl_checkout_payment_default.php

I found the other one but lines 117-20 dont look like you describe. Please help!

It's now lines 200-203

<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_COMMENTS; ?></legend>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('comments', '45', '3'); ?>
</fieldset>


tpl_checkout_payment_default is in includes/templates/template_default/templates and after you edit it, it goes in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates

Hi thanks, I was just about to reply and say not to worry as i'd figured it out. But thank you

I'm now finding lots of little niggling things I need to fix i.e removing a payment radio button option from the checkout, can not find this in the forums but have started a thread hopefully someone out there can help....
