How to disable authentication?

Anonymous · #1 05-11-2003, 08:48 AM

I don't need authentication. Is there a setting in the Administration system to disable showing this?

More info please. Version number would be a plus. I'm sure this is an easy question to answer.

Sorry, adpboss. I was distracted between reading your post and replying to it. Forgot the "more info" part.

I'm more than willing to give all needed info.

I just installed X-Cart using the 2-column design. I'm referring to the customer authentication section in the navigation menu. I won't be having customer accounts, so it's not needed. I looked in Administration but didn't see a setting to disable customer authentication; though it may be there and I may have missed it.

i disabled it by going to /customer/home.tpl and commenting out the following.

Code:

{*
{if $login eq "" }
{ include file="auth.tpl" }
{else}
{ include file="authbox.tpl" }
{/if}

*}

just underneath that, you can also comment out the powered by x-cart logo stuff

i'm new, but i think this is the way to do it......

Thanks, miketeam.

I did see that. I'm brand new to X-Cart so I'm not sure which components can be turned off through settings and which require code changes. I see many components listed in Administration\Modules, but not all. Hence my uncertainty.

I'll comment out that code.

Will I also need to comment out the code for the Help and News navigation sections? I don't see them in Modules.

yup, both news and help are in that same file

as i'm becoming more familiar with the admin structure, it does seem that some options have an easy button to turn on/off, others are buried in template code.

plus, i'm still getting used to the debug console - not as smooth as i'd like.....

oh well, i love the cart though......

Thanks, thundernugs.

Yes, I'm most most impressed by the cart. After going through 2 others previously I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

I'm customizing my site completely. I had already created my site using JSP, and am now replacing the JSP and integrating the site design with X-Cart. It's a tricky job.
