"New This Month" in Shopping Cart...

[srleslie]

I've managed to quell the "New Products In [this month]" box, though I don't recall how I did it, but when I finally got my shopping cart set up, there it was again, when the cart was emptied!

Could someone save my eyeballs and tell me how to turn off the "New Products In [this month]" box in the shopping cart, as well as everywhere else?

I don't understand why I can't edit my posts; had to start a new thread.

The problem is: I have eliminated the "New Products For [this month]" box from appearing everywhere except when a customer deletes items from the shopping cart. Then the words "Your Shopping Cart is empty" appear, followed by the "What's New" box! I emptied the box by setting Maximum Products at 0, then got rid of the header text, "New Products For July," in english.php, so it doesn't look so bad, but I'm curious to know how the box snuck in in the first place.

You do not have to start new threads. If the timer has run out on editing you can post a reply to your own post.


I have merged your threads.

Thanks. How long does the timer run on editing?

7 minutes.

BTW- those center boxes have not had "switches" added to them yet. You will need to comment them out in your tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.

Hmm, tried that. Commented out the only line with "whats_new" in it and the cart crashed--wouldn't load on a "Syntax" error.

Thanks for the heads-up on the "switch" issue, though, saved me a lot of scrounging around. Shall leave as is, with an innocent looking empty header bar running across.

Yikes! I think I was having a totally blond moment!!! I am so sorry - there are switches to turn those off - they are hiding in Admin> Configuration> Stock.

[srleslie]

Hee hee. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't find needles in this stack of hay!

Lots of useful switches there. Why they're under "Stock" when they're all about shopping carts...ah well.
