mysmallbizu Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I know that the left hand menu is controlled by the header.tpl and have made changes to it... what I'd like to do is remove it for the order process. How/Where can I edit to remove the left hand menu from all the of the cart.php order steps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrat Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I would not recommend doing that. It is a very annoying practice to remove navigation links so that potential customers are imprisoned in your shopping cart with no escape possible. My own reaction were I a potential customer would be to leave your site as rapidly as possible and never return again. As a sales tactic it fails abysmally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own reaction were I a potential customer would be to leave your site as rapidly as possible and never return again. As a sales tactic it fails abysmally. You're not my potential customer You're sales suggestion is to give the potential customer lots of choices and options to select from so they can get confused and leave the sales process? Here's some books I've written if you'd like to learn more.. http://www.jamesmaduk.com/library/52secrets.pdf http://www.salestrainingforsmallbusiness.com http://www.facetofaceselling.com http://www.handleanyobjection.com Now I still need to remove the menu from the cart for first time buyers.. anyone know how to do that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Here ya go: Remember there is no link to get back to the main menu. On line 16 change the path to cart.php eg. If you have WHMCS in your root public_html use '/cart.php' If in a directory '/WHMCS_install_DIRECTORY_name/cart.php' This is the header.tpl from the portal theme <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD

Zorro67 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 FWIW, we've moved all our menus into "includes" files so we can turn each of them on & off for logged in customers, as well as have them appear on more specific pages. Better for upgrades too. If you want to leave a method to allow the customer to get back to menu main (should they really require it), you can add a link to the cart menu. It's just a mod of the breadcrumb nav in the cart header to show back to the main page :- {$LANG.globalyouarehere}: <a href="../" title="">Home</a> > {if $breadcrumbnav =='<a href="cart.php">Shopping Cart</a>'} <a href="/" title="">Support</a> > {/if}{$breadcrumbnav}</p> (note this works if your whmcs site is in a directory and isn't the primary site) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
