remove categories mod and help mod from cart
 

I am trying to eliminate the categories mod and help mod from appearing on the main menu and any other pages that they may show up on but I can't find where its located.

In the admin I tried editing my setting in "general settings" and "modules" but nothing happened. Don't know what to do?

Modules? Do you mean the menus?

Yea..sorry about that. How to remove menue(s)?

Open up customer/home.tpl and comment them out. Categories is categories.tpl and help is help.tpl.

thanks Ryan

question, how do you comment it out?
Thanks man

I tried

/*

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.23 2004/06/24 09:53:29 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="`$fancycategories_config.modules_path`/fancy_categories.tpl"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$categories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

{/section}
{else} {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<FONT class="CategoriesList">{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</FONT>

{/section}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }


*/

but nothing happens?

No, you need to open up home.tpl, not categories.tpl. In home.tpl, replace this:

{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }

with this:

{*
{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
*}

Do the same for the help.tpl include.

thanks so much man.

Was this the only way to do this? Thanks for the help.

For the help menu, is their a way for me to remove the box bg and just have the text links?

Yep, that is the only way.

If you want to remove the box around the help menu, open up help.tpl and remove these pieces of code:

On the top headder of my main cart page I see 3 navigation buttons "Home, Shopping Cart and Contact Us" Those have what looks like a background image. How do I remove the background for those buttons and just keep the text?

Hi,

Open the file

skin1/customer/tab.tpl and do the modification as you wish.

mmoskva - No offence here but if you are going to be editing your templates like that it will pay you to visit smarty.php.net and do some reading on the template system that X-Cart uses...
