Fast and Easy remove add-to-cart buttons

by John on Oct.21, 2009, under Hints/Tips/Hacks

This little alteration was taken from the Prestashop forums and all credit goes to user aksolotl.

quick and easy add to cart

Upload the files into your prestashop installation, the .js file goes into your /js/ folder and the .tpl file goes into your theme folder overwriting the old header.tpl file.

The add-on uses javascript to remove all the add-to-cart buttons from your site.

Alter Prestashop to UK address format (1.3.1)

by John on Oct.18, 2009, under Hints/Tips/Hacks

This is an alternation to the base code that will alter all instances of the address apart from PDF) to the UK format rather than the French format.

You will need to upload the files into the same folders .

The version without dropdown counties menu will need you to create a new mysql field in your database, so some coding knowledge will be needed.  This version will present a blank entry field for counties rather than the dropdown pre filled list.

PLEASE NOTE: Backup your files first BEFORE uploading the altered files.

Please read the read.me file for instructions on altering your sql database.

UK address format 1.2.4 with states dropdown menu

UK address format 1.2.4 without counties dropdown

UK address format 1.3.1

Removing “powered by Prestashop”

by John on Aug.02, 2009, under Hints/Tips/Hacks

Don’t want the prestashop credit link on site?

To remove the credit from the footer area all you need to do is edit the variouslinks.tpl file. This is located in the modules/blockvariouslinks folder. Remove the line of code near the bottom of the file that relates to the link, and then save the file and reupload to your server.

To remove the credit link from the emails you will need to edit each email template individually. These are located in two different folders. Firstly /mails/yourlanguage, modules/mailalerts/mail/yourlanguage.

The link code is located at the bottom of each file.
