Sending GV's From Customer to Customer

The demo FAQ installed when Zen Cart is installed says:

"To send a Gift Certificate you need to go to our Send Gift Certificate Page. You can find the link to this page in the Shopping Cart Box in the right hand column of each page."

I have been unable to find any such link on any of my pages. I haven't been able to find a "Send Gift Certificate" page anywhere either. I am just wondering how a customer would purchase a GV to send to another person. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a GV balance on your account?

Hello Ajeh,

I am at a loss... :( I would like to edit the information that is stated in that information box. First of all, I would like to disable the "send" button. Also, I wanted to change the text to omit the line that says "You may spend it or send it to someone else. To send click the button below."

Can you please give me a clue where I could edit these?

Thanks so much.

You cannot Send a GV in the Catalog unless you have a balance in your customer account ...

Either the Admin sends the customer a GV or the Customer buys a GV and the Admin releases the GV balance after confirming an Order and Payment has been recieved ...

Hello Ajeh,

Thanks for the quick response.. I'm sorry it seems my question was not really clear. Above is a link and also an attachment to a picture from my screen capture. This is inside my test account. I would just like to omit the highlighted parts in the box since I want to disable the "send" function.

Could you tell me which parts I need to edit for this? I tried the search function in the Tool Kit but it doesn't return anything.

I really appreciate any help on this..

In the tpl_account_default.php is the code that calls this GV for sending ...

If you want it off you have to disable it using your templates and overrides ...

If you just want it off the easiest way is to change:

// only show when there is a GV balance
  if ($customer_has_gv_balance ) {

To read:

// only show when there is a GV balance
  if (false && $customer_has_gv_balance ) {

Yatta! I did it! :clap:

I did not actually want to remove the whole box, just the parts that I've highlighted.

The files I modified for the text is:

.../includes/languages/english.php

Line #345: 
define('TEXT_SEND_OR_SPEND','You have a balance available in your ' . TEXT_GV_NAME . ' account. You may spend it or send it to someone else. To send click the button below.'); 

and to remove the 'send' button:

.../includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpdl_module_send_or_spend.php

I deleted the following:

Line #19:
<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_SEND, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SEND_A_GIFT_CERT , BUTTON_SEND_A_GIFT_CERT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Hope this can help others who want to do the same editing.
Many thanks to Ajeh for giving me a clue where to start! :clap:
