Hope this helps and have a good day!

thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you mentioned but the template seemed to have some problems after. You mentioned in the steps that this is for JM Mesolite but I am using JM Morganite. Does it make a difference?

When I went to copy the catalog folder to "app\design\frontend\default\jm_morganitetemplate " the folder already existed. Do I over write the contents?

Dear websner!

Sorry for my mistake, I was wrong that you wanted to remove compare for mesolite theme. This is the correct instruction for you in removing compare function in jm morganite:

Code:

Code:

<block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>

comment it, it will become:

Code:

<!--<block type="core/template" before="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/>-->

-- Open "app\design\frontend\default\jm_morganitetemplate \ catalog\product\list.phtml", Remove this code:

PHP Code:

<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?>
                            <li><span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>" class="link-compare"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a></li>
                        <?php endif; ?>


About line 77 to 80 and 117 to 119.
-- Copy "addto.phpml" from "app\design\frontend\base\defaulttemplate\catalog \product\view\" to "app\design\frontend\default\jm_morganitetemplate \ catalog\product\view\"
-- Open "app\design\frontend\default\jm_morganitetemplate \ catalog\product\view\addto.phpml", remove this code:

PHP Code:

<?php if($_compareUrl=$this->helper('catalog/product_compare')->getAddUrl($_product) ): ?>
    <li><span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>" class="link-compare"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

Sorry again for this inconvenience.

that did the trick, thank you!

Hello, one more question regarding this topic. Now that I have removed ‘add to wishlist’ and ‘add to compare’, but ‘add items to cart’ box shows the word ‘OR’. Where do I remove that?

Dear Websner!

Welcome back! How you been?

Regarding your question, please change in:

app\design\frontend\base\defaulttemplate\catalog \product\view.phtml for product detail and app\design\frontend\base\defaulttemplate\catalog \product\list.phtml for product list.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi, thank you. That worked, I’m all set.
