It there a way remove the Subscribe function in the News list menu. I just want to display my news to everyone that visits my site. I have a separate mailing list that I use to send my customers news and updates. I think this news menu will be great to just display daily news. Thanks in advance for your help.

edit news.tpl and comment out this bit:

<form action="news.php" name="subscribeform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_lng" value="{$store_language}" />

<table>
<tr>
<td>
{$lng.lbl_your_email}
<br />
<input type="text" name="newsemail" size="16" />
<br />
{include file="buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

This is not working. the Subscribe function is still showing up. I guess i do not understand how to use the {* commented out code *}

In news.tpl, replace this:

<form action="news.php" name="subscribeform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_lng" value="{$store_language}" />

<table>
<tr>
<td>
{$lng.lbl_your_email}
<br />
<input type="text" name="newsemail" size="16" />
<br />
{include file="buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

with this:

{*
<form action="news.php" name="subscribeform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subscribe_lng" value="{$store_language}" />

<table>
<tr>
<td>
{$lng.lbl_your_email}
<br />
<input type="text" name="newsemail" size="16" />
<br />
{include file="buttons/subscribe_menu.tpl"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
*}

You may need to refresh your browser a few times and/or clear your template cache.

I forgot to tell you that I changed servers once again but now to EWD and I am happy. They are great for xcart. This change has made my life so much better. I tried many host too and so far in my book they are the best when it comes to service and support. They had my cart up and running in no time at all. Thanks for all the help.

Good to hear! I knew Emerson would set you straight.

Thank you, that worked this time. Thank you. Hey is is possible to disable the shipping and create my own flat rate options that the customer can choose. I do not like the shipping part of the cart. Most of my products are egoods but i do provide a service too. I do not know how to setup the services. I do not want them listed in the categories.

Yes, you can set up user-defined shipping methods and assign rates based on order total, weight, etc. Manual covers user-defined shipping pretty well actually.
