Hide ' Specials for January ' on mainpage

[mrwang]

How do i get rid of the box labled ' Specials For January ' located on the bottom of the main page?

There is a file called "index_default.tpl.php" in the content folder of whichever template you're using.

Find the bit of code that reads:
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?>

and change it to:
<?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?>

Make sure the double forward slash marks (//) are after the "<?php" - this will comment out just that one bit of code (without removing it in the event you want to put it back eventually).

If you also want to get rid of the New for January box, do this:

Just go to your "new_products.php" file, which is located in /includes/modules and replace the ENTIRE code there with this code. You should not leave ANY of the old code in the file:

<?php
/*

<!-- new_products //-->


<?php
/* $info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS,
strftime('%B')));

new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents);

if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id ==
'0') ) {
$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price,
p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id where products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . 
MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);
} else {
$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " .

$row = 0;
$col = 0;
$info_box_contents = array();
while ($new_products = tep_db_fetch_array($new_products_query)) {
$new_products['products_name'] = 
tep_get_products_name($new_products['products_id']);
$info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'center',

tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])));

Hi Vinces,

Thanks your response helped me to get rid of "New Products". I need to hide "Specials" as well.

I can't see any code as you mentioned in index_default.tpl.php file.

Please help, I am stuck

Thanks a ton

Do the same thing to this line in index_default.tpl.php

<td><br><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?></td>

<td><br><?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?></td>

Hi ..

These codes don't appear in index_default.tph.php I have no clue why I don't have them in my file. I was looking for any other means to disable "specials" if there was any.

Thanks

[prosam]

Really? Weird. That should be in there. What template are you using? Look at the index_default.tpl.php in the other template folders and see if it is in there.

[cygnus]

Yes I found it. Also was able to diable News Feed

Thanks a lot

[cygnus]

errr ... I meant "disable"
