Turning off "This product was added to our catalog on..."

I've turned this option off in a couple of different places in the admin (New Listing, Featured Listing, All Listing) but it still shows. Any idea what I missed?

Thanks!

Catalog --> Product Types --> click on the product type (ie General, etc.) there's an option in there you can turn it on or off.

HTH,

Mo,
Admin Panel --> Catalog --> Product Types --> click on the product type (ie General, etc.) there's an option in there you can turn it on or off.

Hi,

How do I remove from product info page "This product was added to our catalog..."

I didn't find the option for the same in Admin->Configuration->Product Info

Do I have to comment it in the template "tpl_product_info_display.php"?

Thanks

Did you look in the Catalog ... Product Type ... EDIT LAYOUT ... and try the:

Show Date Added
Display Date Added on Product Info 0= off 1= on

Most text can be edited in the file(s) that it appears in

This is

define('TEXT_DATE_ADDED', 'This product was added to our catalog on %s.'); 

You can make it

define('TEXT_DATE_ADDED', '');

Do not omit the pair of single quotes

Best to use the switch as Ajeh has pointed out

@Ajeh, yes, the option exists there, I could turn it off. Thanks

@Cobra, Thanks for the prompt reply.

I turned off "Product was added to our catalog ...." from product listing but it still is appearing on each listing. Am I missing something? Another option that I missed? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Have a safe and happy new year.

Thanks to someone else who had this problem, I found his solution and it worked for me.

So let us know what it was, in case someone else experiences this... :smile:

find tpl_product_info_display.php and delete

 <!--bof Product date added/available-->
<?php
  if ($products_date_available > date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_date_available == 1) {
?>
  <p id="productDateAvailable" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE, zen_date_long($products_date_available)); ?></p>
<?php
    }
  } else {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_date_added == 1) {
?>
      <p id="productDateAdded" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, zen_date_long($products_date_added)); ?></p>
<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_date_added
  }
?>
<!--eof Product date added/available -->

then put it back in your CUSTOM template folder

Hmmmm

Hacking in this manner may achieve the desired result, but is just masking the real issue.

When a CORE FUNCTION does not work as it was designed to work, it is quite important to find out WHY it is not working. When a FUNCTION is faulty, it can mean that something is broken that shouldn't be broken... and maybe OTHER FUNCTIONS are also not operating properly.

By simply deleting some lines of code, you are preventing the DISPLAY of the data, but you are not addressing the MAIN REASON why is was not behaving as it should have done.

I am having the same problem with the new version 1.5.5A

Do I need to delete code or is there a fix for this? Thank you.

No need to mess with code (unless the person who designed your template has changed built-in Zen Cart behavior).

I'm "assuming" that you're talking about "normal" products, i.e. those displayed using the main_page=product_info page:

1. Log into your admin
2. Click Catalog->Product Types
3. Click the "Edit Layout" button that's associated with the ***Product - General ***type.
4. Change the configuration value for Show Date Added from 1 to 0
