Magento

I would like to remove compare product and recently viewed boxes.

For compare box I suppose is on template/catalog/products/compare/sidebar.phtml

-Just removing all the lines??? 

For the recently viewed products box It’s been harder to find.
Is it a matter of removing specific lines from:  layout/ reports.xml ??

No knowledge of php neither too much css.

Thanx a lot if you could confirm by deleting this lines on told files
we will be able to not show those two boxes

delete the following two lines

in layout/reports.xml (line 27)

in layout/catalog.xml (line 53)

Thanks!!! Better and quicker answer could not be possible

You also need to remove the relevant line from customer.xml.

Can be tested by clicking on My account (assuming logged in).

When I did this it removed the recently view products box from the homepage, but it still shows up when I click on categories.  IE:

anyone know how to remove it from this area as well?

triality, the links you posted are password protected.. that being said, disable magento cache, clear your browser cache.. try again.

Could someone tell me where can I change this box title “Recently Compared Products” ?

To Disable “Recently Viewed Box” simply go on Admin Interface / Sistem/Advanced/Advanced and disable “Mage_Reports.”

That’s all.

For Compare Box still searching.

delete the following two lines

in layout/reports.xml (line 27)

<block type="reports/product_viewed" before="right.permanent.callout" name="right.reports.product.viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml" />

in layout/catalog.xml (line 53)

<block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>

I want to remove “compare products” on the homepage ONLY, so I delete this line in the file layout/catalog.xml:

<block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>

The problem is when I am in the categories of products, “compare products” is also deleted !!!

Hi

Thank you for the solution to removing the compare products box.

However I still have one problem. On the products themselves when listed in a category, below the actual thumbnail/picture you have the option to “Add to Compare “ or “Add to Wishlist’.

Is there an easy way (preferably just commenting out some xml code), to remove the *Add to Compare* link?

Thank you in advance.

I have same problem. I removed all boxes ( compare ) but still show in product display and category the option. ..link to compare. Wonder where I could find those to remove.

Will disabling “Mage_Reports” affect anything other than the “Recently Viewed Products” Box?

Client does not want the compare feature on the site, anywhere. How can I disable it without hacking in case she changes her mind?

My problem is that I want to show the recently viewed items on my site but have not got a clue how to make it available so any pointers would be appreciated.
