Where is "Our Stores" and "Specials" located in admin?

[scorptech]

Hi,

I've just upgrade to beta 4 10 and I'm still trying to find and remove the links "Our Stores" under the "information" block and "Specials" on the footer.

I can't move on and setup the site until I find out where these are located and removed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Scorptech

PS. When I upgraded I got an error and I view the log file. Does anyone know where this is kept?

You can find "Specials block" in section "Pricing & Promotion"
You can find "Stores block" in section of "Front Office Features"

[scorptech]

Thanks but I've uninstalled both of these modules and they are still showing. "Our Stores" on the information module menu and "specials" on the footer menu.

I've looked through the backend but I cannot find where or how to remove them.

Thanks

You can remove the links at the configure screen of following modules, you should be able to find those links in the modules tab.

Info block
Footer Link block

[scorptech]

Yes, you would think that but it deosn't show up in the CMS module/information. It has me tearing my hair out (and I don't have a lot to pull out!). I can't move on with Prestashop until I find out where these two items are.

I'm hoping the Prestashop support guys or other users can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Your remove "Our Store" and "Specials" links from footer at following file.

YourSiteRoot/modules/blockcms.tpl

just search for "our store" or "specials", remove the 4 lines.

[scorptech]

Hi,

Thanks for the info. This might be a stupid question, but why do you need to edit the code to remove links?

surely there must be an option in the admin screen to remove these without having to edit the code??

Hi scorptech,

The Information block you see in the store's front-end is the CMS Block under the Front Office Features section in the Modules Tab of Back Office.

Once you find it:

1. Click "Configure"
2. Look for "CMS blocks configuration" box at the top, click on icon to edit
3. Select "No" radio button for "Display Stores" option.
4. Save

That will remove the "Stores" link from the Information block.

To remove Stores link from Footer:

1. Click on "Tools" >> "Stores" tabs
2. Look for "Parameters" box
3. Save

I'll try to figure out how to remove other links from the footer withour modifying codes.

As for your question, no it's not stupid. I'd say it's a good example of bad usability design.
It isn't a good, smooth, no-brainer, non tech-savvy User Interface. Lots of areas where improvements can be made.

How wonder can it be if it's something like Blogger - just configure and drag the modules to the different layout areas. WYSIWYG sort of UI. That way, when users change themes and need to modify the layout, it will be MUCH easier.

[shokinro]

Thanks calisyoda for sharing the information.

And scorptech you are right. But I am not the development team member. I was just like you try to figure out where to make the changes and didn't find. I don't know my my admin page is French only.

[scorptech]

Thank guys for your help. I'm a Joomla person so I agree with being able to move modules around.

I had another look at the CMS Block and here is where the option was for anyone else that has this problem (I hate it when people solve the problem and don't tell other people how they did it). So here it is:-

Removing "Our Stores" from the left "Information" Block

1) Goto the "Modules" tab
2) Open up "Front Office Features"
3) Find the "CMS Block" and click on the "Configure" option
4) You will see an option called "List of Left CMS Blocks".
5) There is a block name called "Informations"
6) Click on the edit icon under the "Actions" category
7) Where it says "Display Stores", select disable.

Job done!

I just have to find out how to remove the specials link on the footer? any idea's?

Scorptech

[Kelvin Koh]

Scorptech,

You can remove the specials link in the footer from the CMS Block too.

The option to to do that is in the 2nd section Footer's various links Configuration, which is below the List of Left CMS Blocks.

Un-check the option and all the footer links will disappear. Not the perfect solution if you want to keep the rest of the footer links though.

[scorptech]

Thanks, calisyoda.

Yes I hoping to just remove the "specials" link and leave the rest. What I can't understand is, these are very basic requests and requirements and it seems so difficult to find them and, if you can, remove them.

I have a feeling that if a product has a "specials" tag, then it will show up until you remove this and it may go away but it's only a theory.

Does anyone else have any idea's on removing the "Specials" link in the footer without editing the code?

Regards

Alan

Scorptech got it!
Thanks! I also was a little confused about this one link.

Thank you "shokinro". Your instruction was really helpful and I could easily change the footer link names by following your instructions.
Have a good one

Some links like "Our stores" in footer are not appear in back office.
Usually you can find your footer links in the following tab:
Back office->Tools-->CMS
But in your case you need to open the related file which you uploaded in your hosting.
1-First Go to your FTP and open your prestashop folder
2-Open modules folder.
3-copy blockcms.tpl file into your system
4-Try to open this file with notepad, dream weaver or any other related software to see the file content
5-You will find all links that you couldn't see Back office in CMS and then you can rename or delete any of them
6- save your file and uploaded again into the same place that you downloaded before and rewrite the previous file

Done
Have a good one

I tried following the steps for removing the "Our Stores" footer, and while the lines of code are no longer there, the footer still is.

Here is what I removed:

{if $cms_title.display_store}getPageLink('stores.php')}" title="{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}{/if}

and

{if $display_stores_footer}getPageLink('stores.php')}" title="{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}">{l s='Our stores' mod='blockcms'}{/if}

Still no luck. Do I have to re-load my website from the admin panel or something?

[GryphonArmoury]

KentRichuk,

PERFECT. Thanks so much for making this easy.

module/blockcms/blockcms.php remove line 699, which happens to be 'display_stores_footer' => Configuration::get('PS_STORES_DISPLAY_FOOTER')
will complete remove it from the footer.

It shouldn't have to be so darn difficult to make such a minor change. There are clearly pros and cons to version 1.4. Yes there are tons of newely added features but most of them people don't use and therefore are forced to remove code, just as this one. I personally believe upgrades should make your prestashop have less maintenance but so far, it's even with version 1.2, from a maintenance standpoint, for example and maybe even has more maintenance to take care of now. :-/

thanks KentRichuk, your post worked perfectly.

The question i have is why does the link even work once the module has been disabled or removed? im trying to fix a glitch with specials page but cant do it if i cannot find the file itself.

[FEQ]

To remove the 'Stores' link from the footer information block in Presta 1.5, go to Preferences->Store Contacts and deselect the 'display in footer' option.

 

This works without having to edit the template files.

1) I succeded to disable "Our Stores" in the footer from back-office

2) I disabled "Our Stores" line from Left block - "Information" editing module Block CMS in the back office

 

3) but "Our Stores" still persuited me in my Left block bellow Information part.

    I killed it forever, when I erased all information from file /themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockstore/blockstore.tpl

 

 it is still partly available if user calls: www.mystore.com/stores

[bcolflesh]

In 1.6.0.8, from the Back Office, go to Modules > "CMS block" - edit the Information block, change the "Add link to Store Locator" slider to "no" and Save.

[begasewing]

Does anyone know how  to edit the Information Section at the bottom of the page?
