Remove shopping cart sidebox from Account History Page

I want to remove the shopping cart sidebox from the account history page.

I have looked at other threads and in particular this one: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63813

So following that pattern I wanted to add something like this:

 if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history_info'){
$show_shopping_cart_box = false;
}

However that did not produce any results as the shopping cart side box still appears. Nor did it do anything if I changed to 'account_history' instead of 'account_history_info' nor if I used both statements.

Interestingly, however, if I do the following:

if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'account'){
$show_shopping_cart_box = false;
}

then the shopping cart sidebox disappears when going to the "My Account" link...however, it reappears when I then move to the account history pages...

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken

Forgot to mention that the file I am talking about modifying is: shopping_cart.php

You need to include each of the pages where you want that removed ...

if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'account' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history_info'){ 

NOTE: if you want to include the other sections of the My Account area, add them as well ...

Thanks...but maybe I am trying to block the shopping cart from the wrong page.

The page I want the shopping cart blocked from is the page where one views specific order information on a prior order. I thought that would be 'account_history_info' but if it is then for some reason this is still not working even though it works on the main account page and on the show all orders page. But when I click on "view" to see a specific order then the shopping cart sidebox still shows up.

Make sure that you are adding the new code in the right place ...

If I add the code:

if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'account' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history_info'){
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
}

above the existing code:

  if ($show_shopping_cart_box == true) {

I do not see the shopping cart sidebox when on those pages ...

That is where I am adding it... Here is the entire file:

switch (true) {
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '0'):
      $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '1'):
      if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0)) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    case (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_BOX_STATUS == '2'):
      if ( ( (isset($_SESSION['cart']) && $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) || (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && zen_user_has_gv_account($_SESSION['customer_id']) > 0) ) && ($_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) ) {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = true;
      } else {
        $show_shopping_cart_box = false;
      }
      break;
    }

	if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'account' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history' || $_GET['main_page'] == 'account_history_info'){

	
	$show_shopping_cart_box = false;

	
	
	}


  if ($show_shopping_cart_box == true) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_shopping_cart.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_shopping_cart.php');
    $title =  BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART;
    $title_link = false;
    $title_link = FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;

    require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
  }
?>

I think I need to try to install this in a completely fresh cart and then if it works see what may be causing it not to work in my cart.

Which file are you updating ... the original or your template and override file in:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/shopping_cart.php

the override file

I am not sure why this would not be working for you ... :unsure:
