Remove / Hide email address in Store information on the front office

[Tanatus]

Hi to everyone!

I'm thinking of removing / hiding my store email address from the PrestaShop 1.7 front office, from Store Information module.

How can I do it in the best way?

My aim is to hide my email from spamming bots. Especially if my customers will receive store emails from this email address, and probably respond to it.

Have no idea why PS developer team does not allow to hide or do not show my store email. I understand that in some countries this could be some sort of legislation requirement, but PS is an international CMS and such option should be included, IMHO.

Any ideas or recommendations are welcomed.

Hi Crezzur,

I cannot find the file www/themes/classic/modules/ps_contactinfo/ps_contactinfo.tpl

This path seems to be referring to PS 1.6 rather then PS 1.7

Any ideas? My PS version is 1.7.5.1

Thank you

[CedCommerce Team]

Hi, The file path is same for PS version 1.7.5.1 too. 
You can find the file in root_dir/themes/classic/modules/ps_contactinfo/ps_contactinfo.tpl.

Hi,

I finally found it, thank you. I think I was looking into the wrong folder.

However if you want to remove the email address from the contact-us form, the file to be updated is ps_contactinfo-rich.tpl and not ps_contactinfo.tpl. They both are in the same folder:

root_dir/themes/classic/modules/ps_contactinfo/ps_contactinfo.tpl for the footer

root_dir/themes/classic/modules/ps_contactinfo/ps_contactinfo-rich.tpl for the contact-us form

Please note that, in all cases where working with html, you can "comment out" rather than delete.  This makes reintroducing much simpler in the future and ensures that any future editor of the code can see what you have done.

Simply add

<!----

before

and

---->

after

 

This will leave the code in place but ensure it does not render.  If you are using a decent html editor (hint: notepad++) then you will see the colour change for the code you have commented out.


For this example I have

 

<!---- {if $contact_infos.email}
    <hr/>
    <div class="block">
      <div class="icon"><i class="material-icons">&#xE158;</i></div>
      <div class="data email">
        {l s='Email us:' d='Shop.Theme.Global'}<br/>
       </div>
       <a href="mailto:{$contact_infos.email}">{$contact_infos.email}</a>
    </div>
  {/if} ---->
