Remove Checkout Link from NavMain?

[saschwarz]

Hi,

Now that I've enabled PayPal I don't want the Checkout link to appear in the top menu because clicking it doesn't give the user the option to use PayPal. I'd rather users go through their shopping chart to checkout.

How can I configure ZenCart to not display the Checkout link?

Thanks,
Steve

What template are you using? Your URL?

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the classic template with only CSS styling changes. Right now I'm leaving the site in maintenance mode until I'm further along.

In includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php it looks like a link containing HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT is created as soon as there is at least one entry in the cart.

I tried defining HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT to the empty string but it still leaves too big a "target" for the user to accidentally mouse on next to the Shopping Cart link. So I guess I'll make a copy of tpl_header.php into my template and remove the link entirely.

Seems like others might want the Checkout link to go to the shopping cart page (index.php?main_page=shopping_cart) instead of to the generic index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping page (which doesn't include Google or PayPal checkout options if you have moneyorder payment option enabled).

Please let me know if there is a less intrusive way to configure this.
Thanks,
Steve

You are on the right track - however, you need to create and use a custom template or the changes you make will be wiped out when you upgrade.

I ran intd this same problem but I found the fix. You were on the right track I wanted to also get rid of the shopping cart link as well this is what I removed from /includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>

Also, remove this line as well if not it will repopulat eit with My account and login. This is getting rid of all header links so it has no reference to pull it from.

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
