Remove the "back to category" link

[mrmysterious]

Hello friends,

I would like to get rid of the link that allows the customer to get to the category view.
The idea is:

On my startpage I provide a menu that leads the customer directly to product details view and there is no need to get back to a category again (as I am selling only 1 product).
I've looked everywhere but can't find out where this link comes from.

Here the picture of product details and in yellow I have marked what has to vanish:

Hello

Create a new layout for /views/productdetails/default.php
Copy this file or edit Your default.php in Your template directory. Rename the file to, for example, no-return-link.php 

templates/your-template/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/no-return-link.php

Look for these lines:

Code Select Expand

<?php // Back To Category Button
if ($this->product->virtuemart_category_id) {
$catURL =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id='.$this->product->virtuemart_category_id, FALSE);
$categoryName = vmText::_($this->product->category_name) ;
} else {
$catURL =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart');
$categoryName = vmText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOP_HOME') ;
}
?>
<div class="back-to-category">
    <a href="<?php echo $catURL ?>" class="product-details" title="<?php echo $categoryName ?>"><?php echo vmText::sprintf('COM_VIRTUEMART_CATEGORY_BACK_TO',$categoryName) ?></a>
</div>

Either comment these lines out or erase them.

Then You can choose this product layout under the configuration for Your product category.

Thank you so much - it worked fine when deleting the lines.

First when I commented them out the link stayed visible with the comment signs visible too: /*....*/.
Very strange.

You must have added comments outside of PHP tags.

Hello
You probably put the comment in a HTML area not the PHP enclosed area, example

Code Select Expand


<?php
/* 
  $this_code_is_gone = TRUE) ;
*/
?>

Code Select Expand


/*
<?php
 $this_code_is_still_functional = TRUE;
?>
*/
