Question modifying configureproduct.tpl to remove NS1 and NS2 questions

[encieno]

Hi I'm trying to modify the dedicated server/VM order form, and have modified the configureproduct.tpl in order to remove NS options. I've done that and it works, except when you fill out the form and try to submit it, it returns and says " You must enter a prefix for both nameservers"... I can't figure out where that's checking it out. Anyone have an idea?

 

Thanks

You can't remove the fields entirely. What you'll need to do is make then hidden input fields instead. Something like the following:

 

Existing:

{if $productinfo.type eq "server"}
<tr><td colspan="2"><strong>{$LANG.cartconfigserver}</strong></td></tr>
<tr class="orderheadingrow"><td colspan="2"></td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow1"><td>{$LANG.serverhostname}</td><td><input type="text" name="hostname" size="15" value="{$server.hostname}" /> eg. server1(.yourdomain.com)</td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow2"><td>{$LANG.serverns1prefix}</td><td><input type="text" name="ns1prefix" size="10" value="{$server.ns1prefix}" /> eg. ns1(.yourdomain.com)</td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow1"><td>{$LANG.serverns2prefix}</td><td><input type="text" name="ns2prefix" size="10" value="{$server.ns2prefix}" /> eg. ns2(.yourdomain.com)</td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow2"><td>{$LANG.serverrootpw}</td><td><input type="password" name="rootpw" size="20" value="{$server.rootpw}" /></td></tr>
<tr class="orderheadingrow"><td colspan="2"></td></tr>
<tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
{/if}

 

Suggestion:

{if $productinfo.type eq "server"}
<tr><td colspan="2"><strong>{$LANG.cartconfigserver}</strong></td></tr>
<tr class="orderheadingrow"><td colspan="2"></td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow1"><td>{$LANG.serverhostname}</td><td><input type="text" name="hostname" size="15" value="{$server.hostname}" /> eg. server1(.yourdomain.com)
<input type="hidden" name="ns1prefix" value="ns1" />
<input type="hidden" name="ns2prefix" value="ns2" />
</td></tr>
<tr class="orderrow2"><td>{$LANG.serverrootpw}</td><td><input type="password" name="rootpw" size="20" value="{$server.rootpw}" /></td></tr>
<tr class="orderheadingrow"><td colspan="2"></td></tr>
<tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
{/if}

Damn, didn't even think of that, ha. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have any idea why NS1 and NS2 Prefix exist for dedicated/vps servers? That's the most unusual thing I've ever seen....

Hi all,

 

Just thought I would follow on from this. We didnt want the whole of that table showing which included Domain, Name Servers and Root Password. You can't remove it and you can't just change the product type as it throws up validation errors when you submit the form even though the fields aren't showing. Anyway, we simply did the following and it solves the problem, no fields showing and no validation issues.

 

Old:

   <tr>
     <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
         <tr>
           <td width="150" class="fieldarea">Hostname:</td>
           <td><input type="text" name="hostname" size="15" value="" />
             eg. server1(.yourdomain.com)</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td width="150" class="fieldarea">NS1 Prefix:</td>
           <td><input type="text" name="ns1prefix" size="10" value="" />
             eg. ns1(.yourdomain.com)</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td width="150" class="fieldarea">NS2 Prefix:</td>
           <td><input type="text" name="ns2prefix" size="10" value="" />
             eg. ns2(.yourdomain.com)</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td width="150" class="fieldarea">Root Password:</td>
           <td><input type="password" name="rootpw" size="20" value="" /></td>
         </tr>
       </table></td>
   </tr>

 

New:

<tr><td>
<input type="hidden" name="hostname" size="1" value="N/A" />
<input type="hidden" name="ns1prefix" size="1" value="N/A" />
<input type="hidden" name="ns2prefix" size="1" value="N/A" />
<input type="hidden" name="rootpw" size="2" value="N/A" />
</td></tr>

 

Anyway, hope its of help and if you have any questions then please give me a shout.

Kind regards,
