Hi

I'd like to hide the Options Title on my product detail page if there are no options available for the product. I've been able to locate the code related to this in product.tpl and customer_options.tpl however, I am not able to construct the if statement needed to do this (my knowledge of code is limited).

Since I have only one product with options (gift wrapping), to show the options title on each product detail page seems needless.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

I got step 1 of this done, first take out:

<tr><td colspan=2>
<font class=ProductDetailsTitle>{$lng.lbl_options}</font>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class=Line height="1" colspan=2>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td></tr>

from customer/main/product.tpl

and put it in skin1/modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl

put it on top of the beginning of the section loop so it looks like this:

<tr><td colspan=2>
<font class=ProductDetailsTitle>{$lng.lbl_options}</font>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class=Line height="1" colspan=2>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td></tr>
{section name=product_option loop=$product_options}

Doing this will only display the Options header if the customer_options.tpl is called.

The problem is, even if there are no product options, the customer_options.tpl will always be called and still display the Options header because of this code in product.tpl:

{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne ""}
{ include file="modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl"}
{/if}

If you check the Product Options module to be active in your admin section, the header will always show unless someone can come up with another if statement, like if product options greater than 0 or something, then show customer_options.tpl[/code]

Hi Xcell,

I appreciate your respone. I was able to get this figured out a few days ago. In my case the only product in our inventory with the need for options is gift wrapping. What I ended up doing is this;

In skin1/customer/main/product.tpl around line 51,

I replaced this;
{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne ""}
{ include file="modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl"}

with this;
{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne "" and $product.productcode eq "ZWRAP"}
{ include file="modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl"}

It seems to work well but could be a problem for those who have alot of products with options.

Again, thanks for your help with this. I should have posted back to this thread when I figured out a solution.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your response, your solution gave me an idea to create a mod for users who need to hide the options header for more than one item.

First take out:

<tr><td colspan=2>
<font class=ProductDetailsTitle>{$lng.lbl_options}</font>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class=Line height="1" colspan=2>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</td></tr>

from skin1/customer/main/product.tpl

and then paste on top in skin1/modules/Product_Options/customer_options.tpl

Then, using phpmyadmin or xcarts patch/upgarde thingy; create a new field called od, type: char, lenght/values: 1, null: no
in the table xcart_products

then edit include/product_modify.php:

find the line

#
# Update product data
#
		db_query("update $sql_tbl[products]

and add: od='$od' after any of the queries, i put mine after brand='$brand'

then go to skin1/main/product_modify.tpl

and add this:

<tr> 
  <td class=ProductDetails height="11">Options Display</td>
  <td class=ProductDetails height="11">
  <select name=od>
	<option value='N' {if ($product.od eq 'N')} selected {/if}>{$lng.lbl_no}</option>
	<option value='Y' {if ($product.od eq 'Y')} selected {/if}>{$lng.lbl_yes}</option>
  </select> 
  </td>
</tr>

you can put this anywhere, it is for your use to mark the item to display the options or not, I put mine after the free shipping option.

then finally, go back to skin1/customer/main/product.tpl and change the line:

{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne ""}

to

{if $active_modules.Product_Options ne "" and $product.od eq "Y"} 

Instead of modifying each product, you should use the import function to change the od field. Now products that don't have product options will cease to display the Options header.

Haven't gotten a chance to test this mod, but I'm going to go ahead and move it over to the Custom mods and templates forum.

Thanks for sharing guys!

xcell67, that was most helpful. Only a few of my products have options, so this was perfect. Thank you very much!
