Remove SKU from checkout pages

jkirkpatrick · #1 03-14-2005, 04:18 PM

Hello,

I'd like to remove the SKU that is displayed along with the name for each product during the checkout process. Since I don't mention the SKU any other place on the site I think it will confuse customers.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

Start with skin1/customer/main/cart_totals.tpl

Look for something like this:

Code:

<TD>{$lng.lbl_sku}</TD>

If you don't want the SKU label heading to appear, then either replace {$lng.lbl_sku} with a or delete that line completely.

Then a little further on in the same file look for:

Code:

<TD>{$products[prod_num].productcode}</TD>

Again as above either replace {$products[prod_num].productcode} with a or delete that line completely.

Note: if you choose to delete on either one, you must do it in both places, otherwise your table/cart columns will not align correctly.

Hello,

I copied cart_totals.tpl in to Word and did a search and no where in that document is anything to do with the SKU. I think I may have already removed it from there.

Where I'm having a problem getting rid of it is in the summary at the top of the checkout pages. It has the SKU and the product name together with a period in between them. They're both hyperlinked to the product listing.

Based on my playing around I'm pretty sure the answer lies in this code:

Code:

{if $products[prod_num].productcode}{$products[prod_num].productcode}{else}#{$products[prod_num].productid}{/if}. {$products[prod_num].product|truncate:"30":"...":true}

Is that possible? Does anyone know how to remove the SKU from above?

Thanks,
Jennifer

hooter, not sure if you had the wrong template or if they have changed it for the new version, but you advice is correct, its just that you will find these lines of code in the cart_contents.tpl

Jennifer,

Yes, you are right:

customer/main/cart_details.tpl

Replace:

Code:

{if $products[prod_num].productcode}{$products[prod_num].productcode}{else}#{$products[prod_num].productid}{/if}. {$products[prod_num].product|truncate:"30":"...":true}

With this:

Code:

{$products[prod_num].product|truncate:"30":"...":true}

@mffowler,

I'm not sure if your code worked properly for Jennifer, but it worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much.

After doing this, I realized there was a good reason for me to show the SKU after I added more products. Is there a good way to show:

SKU | Manufacturer | Product Name

?

Thanks again.

Cart Admin -> Languages -> pick your language to edit -> select labels as topic -> use "sku" as filter -> edit to suit your needs
