Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

By default X-Cart 5 shows all product weights and inventory quantities. I would like to hide this from the storefront. Anyone know how this can be done? Is there a module or somewhere in the template files I can hide the code that displays these values?

Re: Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

there may be a better way, but this worked for me

to hide the weight, using custom skins module

copy skins\default\en\product\details\common_attributes \common.product-attributes.weight.tpl

to skins\custom_skin\default\en\product\details\commo n_attributes\common.product-attributes.weight.tpl

and comment out the template code


I'm not using inventory, so I'd guess for inventory maybe do the same with this template

skins\default\en\product\details\parts\common.stoc k.tpl

Thank you. I was able to hide the product quantities through the template files.

You can also do it with custom css in the back of xcart with


This way you don't have to modify any files, which makes upgrading a little easier.

Hanypa,

Your way works, but that hides the product description too. I'm interersted in only hiding the Weight & SKU.

Perhaps a combination of Custom Skin and your CSS?

Or is there a way to build a Module to do this?

Try this instead:

There is no need in editing templats.
Just add this to 'Custom CSS':

This did not work for me with version 5.2.13.

Also, the weight also appears in the cart, and I'd like to hide it there as well. Any idea how to do that?

Idk what to tell you, I just upgraded the site and mine is working fine.

Re: Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

It works now. Not sure what was the problem. But the shopping cart still shows weight. How do I hide it from there as well?

Re: Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

The weight is displayed by this template file:
skins/default/en/shopping_cart/parts/item.info.weight.tpl

If you check the file, it has the @ListChild directive that says that the template must be shown in the "cart.item.info" list. So, to removing the template from that list should be enough to hide the weight in the shopping cart.

I haven't tested the following code, but creating a custom module and adding the following method to your Main.php (or doing the same for Custom Skin module) should work:

This is how I hide stock quantities - I don't want my competitors knowing how much inventory I keep.

1) Look&Feel>>Webmaster mode

2) Edit Template: /default/en/product/details/stock/body.tpl

Comment out the quantity tag using {** *} here is the template:

{* vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et: *}

Re: Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

What about hiding JUST the weight and keeping the SKU?
Would this work?
.product-details .extra-fields { display: weight; }

Re: Hiding product weights and inventory quantities
 

If you use a custom module to provide your site changes, it's quite easy to then apply your "own version" of the relevant twig files, which in this thread's main discussion cases would be:

/skins/**your-custom-module**/customer/product/details/stock/body.twig for stock levels

/skins/**your-custom-module**/customer/product/details/common_attributes/common.product-attributes.weight.twig for weights

And if you needed to modify the sku display, that's here too:

/skins/**your-custom-module**/customer/product/details/common_attributes/common.product-attributes.sku.twig
