Remove confusing "Empty cart" link to Virtuemart

[websnail]

No offense to the developers here but putting a link to Virtuemart in the mini-cart module is not going to be a welcome addition to a users e-commerce site as it immediately leads the potential customer off on a goose chase around this site instead of around the users store buying things

So, to turn off this little feature quick mod for you.

Open: components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/common/minicart.tpl.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

        <a href="http://virtuemart.net/" target="_blank">
        <img src="<?php echo $mm_action_url ?>components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/ps_image/menu_logo.gif" alt="VirtueMart" width="80" border="0" /></a>
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

        <!--  <a href="http://virtuemart.net/" target="_blank">
        <img src="<?php echo $mm_action_url ?>components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/ps_image/menu_logo.gif" alt="VirtueMart" width="80" border="0" />
        </a> -->
Just to note I'd never suggest removing any attribution code.. It just seems this wasn't perhaps the best plan.. and besides the logo is still there.


EDIT: Updated to remove unnecessary 2 tags and actually comment out the image.

You were missing out the comment out on the second line, so here's my fix:

<!--  <a href="http://virtuemart.net/" target="_blank">  -->
<!--   <img src="<?php echo $mm_action_url ?>components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/ps_image/menu_logo.gif" alt="VirtueMart" width="80" border="0" />  -->
<!--  </a> -->

This works - no more image.

Thanx Winfreepcs! This works!

Actually the mod was only to remove the link, not the image... but I've updated it accordingly.

All my considerations for both websnail and winfreepcs.
Thank you very much for this tip.

[anax]

Yes... many cheers to websnail and winfreepcs from me too. That kind of advertising to users isn't very useful, while I agree deserved credit should be shown.

[storm4u]

Another thanks to both! I enjoy this quite a bit!

[Janeta]

Thank you! Not very obvious how to do this otherwise ... crazy thing to put that logo there.

Hi,

What you guys are saying here makes perfect sense to me, but for some reason I just cant do it. In cpanel I replace the code with yours but it does'nt save. When I open the file again in notepad it just shows the original code. Why does it not save the modification? Yes, I'm new here, and I have no idea what to do next. Please help me out, I will honestly appreciate that... Thanx

If you are using cPanel you should make sure that the files you are trying to edit are owned by you, the user. If owned by Apache then you won't be able to edit, in which case you will need to CHOWN all files (CHange OWNersip) or get your host to do it.

.vmCartModule div a img {
