Magento

Hello,

can someone please tell me how to disable the shop by block in magento-1.6.1.0 , i tried editing view.phtml but did not work

much appreciated

in templates folders

blank this file
catalog/layer/view.phtml

or check xml that defines this block and remove that xml part.

That’s not the correct way to do it. In your custom theming package, you need to define the name of the block in your local.xml file within an unsetChild method.

Something like this:

HI,

This may help you

worked for me.
comment out the below lines in catalog.xml

<reference name="left">

<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>

</reference>

While the above post will work, if you ever upgrade your site, changes will be lost. Much better to make any xml updates in your theme’s local.xml file as this will remain upgrade-proof.
