wish to remove both “compare products” and “shopping options”

shawnlesky Total Posts: 14 Joined: 2008-12-30 DuBois, PA Ignore user	How can I remove both “compare products” and “shopping options” from right/left navigation(s)? Also, how can I display the products in grid form on the homepage just as if they come up if you do, for example, a search? I’d like to know what code to display 9 products, 3, 3 and 3 on the front page just like it displays them as if you searched on something that would return 9+ results. Please advise. We’re looking for a developer to assist and we’re willing to pay them for related Magento problems that may arise in two separate carts we operate. , 814-541-9694 Please find me ASAP--time is very much of the essence on this project.

If You just need to remove sidebar box, edit design/frontend/YourThame/layout/catalog.xml and find `<reference name="right"> <block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/> <block type="core/template" name="right.permanent.callout" template="callouts/right_col.phtml"/> </reference>` change it to: `<reference name="right"> <!--<block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>--> <block type="core/template" name="right.permanent.callout" template="callouts/right_col.phtml"/> </reference>` As for ‘Shopping options’, to turn it off on search results page edit design/frontend/YourThame/layout/catalogsearch.xml and find `<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>` change it to `<!--<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>-->` to remove it from ‘normal’ category page, edit design/frontend/YourThame/layout/catalog.xml and find `<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>` and change it: `<!--<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>-->` I’d like to know what code to display 9 products, 3, 3 and 3 on the front page just like it displays them as if you searched on something that would return 9+ results. But which products? Do You have only 9 products in Your catalog? Or do You wish to present random/bestselling products?

What I was going to do. . . and I know there’s a better way, but I took a screenshot when in grid view, cut out the box and can then use image map html to code all the linked parts. I’d then run into where I find the url trigger to add to wishlist and add to compare. Ideally, we’d like to eliminate the compare feature THROUGHOUT, removing all compare links, the compare static blocks, etc., but if that proves more hassel than what it’s worth then I don’t know. In my opinion, it should be a feature you can turn off in the dashboard as easily as they make it so you can lose the community poll. How can I address the core team with such an idea? Back to the topic, I’d take 9 random or 9 best sellers or 9 whatever in grid format any way that it’d be easy, but again, nicer to choose them. Signature http://www.duboislive.com

Lots of things have been changed/moved in 1.4.1 and as a newbie to Magento, I’ve been having a heck of a time figuring it out as all the documentation, wikis and forums have old info that is different in 1.4.1… This makes the learning curve very frustrating. I’ve also noticed a lot of my issues that were similar to others I found in forums were unresolved… A bit disconcerting as I had heard only wonderful things about Magento from other devs… FWIW - just a newbie’s 2 cents…
