Please help - need to remove GV feature

[stando]

I did not still find the way how to remove GV (gift voucher) feature from MS2-MAX.
I don't need this feature, so I don't want customers to get any special coupons. (system automatically generates link in "Welcome to store..." email which adds GV in amount of 10 to the cart) - this is the thing I need to remove. BTW, is there a way (I believe it is) how to remove GV completely?

Thanx for every reply.

There is no need to "remove it" - just don't use it....

Many people use or plan to use GV or coupons - as such it has been added to the MS2-MAX. If you want to remove code - you could try and edit the files - but chances are you may miss something and brake the whole site or remove something that need to be there.

To turn off the new signup "incentive" Voucher... change the following file: add_ccgvdc_application_top.php

Look for and change:

// Set the amount of a Gift Voucher that the new signup will receive, set to 0 for none
define('NEW_SIGNUP_GIFT_VOUCHER_AMOUNT', '10');
//
// Set the coupon ID that will be sent by email to a new signup, if no id is set then no email
define('NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON', '3');


change to:
define('NEW_SIGNUP_GIFT_VOUCHER_AMOUNT', '0');
define('NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON', '');


This will disable the NEW customer give voucher and all emails for it.

Also Delete/remove the gift coupons off your product listing.

Good Luck

I tried to simply "delete" gv module in admin->modules->order total, but allways, that GV was included in the email.

Then I downloaded ccgv-510b and used changes from there in file create_account.php in my create account.php and also deleted all coupon_ tables and addes some data to configuration table. AND? There is no more link to GV in sent emails
I don't 100% know if the way I used was neccessary, but it helpes.

But I believe yours is "simplier and better", because I work on osc just couple of days...

But I think I am getting into it

THX AGAIN.

If you would have made the changes above (coupon set to zero and turn off email) it should have disabled the "incentive" offer and in the future you could have just turn on this back on and/or start using the coupon/voucher option at any time.

Note: Removing blocks of code or files is not suggested unless you remove and RESTORE any and ALL files/lines that was changed. Often (as you saw - may not work correctly or do what you wanted)

If you want a bare bones then you should use the MS2 release. However since many people want alot of features/mods - many are complicated to add together or don't understand how top use PHP - that is why MAX came out.

Glad you got it to what you wanted at the end


Good Luck

Right I have just noticed if you leave site for a bit say 5 minutes site is available again

But if you try and login or register a new user it goes again message is this:

1146 - Table 'elwyn_maxtest.TABLE_COUPON_GV_CUSTOMER' doesn't exist

select amount from TABLE_COUPON_GV_CUSTOMER where customer_id = '5'

[TEP STOP]

Any thoughts plz.

Yes - you removed (or did not install) the table .... Reinstall the table in phpMyAdmin or reload the sample DB file.
