Remove Send to a Friend
 

Hi!

I am using X-Cart 4.0.19 and I'd like to remove the Send to a friend option from my detailed product view pages. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks!

Open up customer/main/product.tpl and remove or comment out this line of code:

{include file="customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl" }

UPDATE: in General settings > Appearance options

turn off

The section 'Send to friend' on the Product details page is enabled.:

Hi nick,
It's no problem to remove the code, but we no longer have to do that. It is in the admin under General Settings. See this video :

Re: Remove Send to a Friend
 

Thank you so much you have been a great deal of help. I have another ?

When i generate a html catalog of all pages and products the css formating and java script only stays active for like one day, is there anyway that i can keep it permanent. Its the pages i want google to pick up and index but the formating will not stay active.

Re: Remove Send to a Friend
 

Do not use the html catalog - this is a relic from 15 years ago and not needed at all. Use either the build in Clean URLs or CDSEO

Re: Remove Send to a Friend
 

dont the search engines like the clean html better than the dynamic .php files?

Re: Remove Send to a Friend
 

Nick,

Steve's right. 90% of the time there is no need for the html catalog. These days Google can read dynamic content just as well as static. I have found Sites that don't use Clean UrLs ranking higher than ones that do.

SEO isn't as complicated as it used to be, but it is harder IMO. It takes real dedication to get a new site ranked high.

Using Clean URL's Google won't be able to distinguish that the page is not plain html.

Hope that helps,

-Mike
