Hey guys I have spent hours reading people trying all kinds of different methods of how to properly remove the Add to Compare code and links from your magento site. What is the proper way to do it with the JM Sulfur template?
I have been able to just change the CSS code to say display none on the add-to-box but I would like to follow the following how to (to actually get rid of the code as well):
http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/…on-in-magento/
However I cannot find certain files such as the:
app/design/frontend/default/Your Theme name/template/catalog/product/view/addto.phtml
Does that file just not exist anymore or is that only because this is the JM_Sulfure template?
Any answers to these questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did not find somewhere in Magento Admin to help for this. However, you can try it manually.
There are 3 files you need to modify in order to remove "Add to Compare" feature
../app/design/frontend/default/jm_sulfur/template/catalog/product/list.phtml
../app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view/addto.phtml
../app/design/frontend/default/jm_sulfur/template/catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml
Here we go!
Open file
../app/design/frontend/default/jm_sulfur/template/catalog/product/list.phtml
Search and remove: [This will remove the "Add to Compare" from products "List" view]
PHP Code:
<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?>
<span class="pipe">|</span>
<a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a>
<?php endif;?>
then search and remove: [This will remove the "Add to Compare" from products "Grid" view]
PHP Code:
<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?><br/>
<a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
Open file
../app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/view/addto.phtml
Search and remove: [This will remove the "Add to Compare" from products details]
PHP Code:
<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->helper('catalog/product_compare')->getAddUrl($_product) ): ?>
<li><span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
And now, if you do not want to show the "Compare Products" at the side bar, just delete the following file content:
../app/design/frontend/default/jm_sulfur/template/catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml
Additional step:
There is an "OR" between "Add to Wishlist" and "Add to Compare" from product detail page. If you don’t want it to appear, open file
../app/design/frontend/default/jm_sulfur/template/catalog/product/view.phtml
then search and remove the following line:
PHP Code:
<span class="add-or"><?php echo $this->__('OR') ?></span>
Done!
Best description I have read on the net so far. thanks -- peter
