I did a search and saw an older thread mentioning returns cannot be disabled without modifying the code manually.

Does anyone know if there is an extension for this? I sell digital downloads and need to remove it, but am not comfortable editing the code.

Since the only link to the returns page is in the footer, the easiest way is to edit the template file. In "catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/footer.tpl" find (line 14):

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li>
and delete it.

Uhh, yeah. Missed those.

In "catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/account.tpl" delete line 27.

And in "catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/order_info.tpl" at line 97, remove:

Code: Select all

<option value="return"><?php echo $text_return; ?></option>
Also, in "catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/account.tpl", delete line 18.

Removing these links is not enough. It will still go to the return page if the actual link is typed.
Along with the steps mention above, you need to remove the files completely delete return.php from the controller and the return.tpl from the template folder.
Only then you will stop the return approach from your store.

all this modification shows there is a need for a disabling feature to be built in. Each time one upgrades versions you have to go back and do this again.

I want to remove the product return option from the Account pages

I've followed Fido-x's suggestion..
In "catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/account.tpl" delete line 27.

And in "catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/order_info.tpl" at line 97, remove:

Code: Select all
<option value="return"><?php echo $text_return; ?></option>
That works fine, but now the only option remaining in the drop down menu on the account/order/info page is "add to cart" (for customers who want to reorder something they've ordered previously). As there's only one option it would make more sense to have this as a button rather than a drop down. How would I do this?

using v1.5.1.3 on local host

+1 vote for allowing this to be disabled; for sites that deal exclusively with digital products it'd certainly make things a lot easier than having to modify all those files each time a new version is released...

My client doesn't accept returns. Is there any way to disable this returns feature without modifying the above?

For others who are trying to accomplish the same thing as me. This is what I did.

I create a returns page under the information pages and put a "-1" to the sort order so it is not displayed from the frontend. The SEO keyword for the returns page is returns.

Then, I edit catalog/controller/account/return.php file so it redirects to the returns page above.

Code: Select all

<?php
   header( 'Location: http://yourdomainname.com/returns' ) ;
?>

To fix the single option in the menu, find:

Code: Select all

      <div class="right"><?php echo $text_action; ?>
        <select name="action" onchange="$('#order').submit();">
          <option value="" selected="selected"><?php echo $text_selected; ?></option>
          <option value="reorder"><?php echo $text_reorder; ?></option>
          <option value="return"><?php echo $text_return; ?></option>
        </select>
      </div>
and replace with:

Code: Select all

      <div class="right">                           
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="reorder" />
        <a onclick="$('#order').submit();" class="button"><span><?php echo $text_reorder; ?></span></a>
      </div>
You'll then have a single button that just says "Add to cart"

Please follow the below step if you are using v1.5.2.1, to hide out return completely.

catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/footer.tpl" find (line 14):
<!-- <li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li> -->

catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/account.tpl" comment out line 30.
<!-- <li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li> -->

catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/order_info.tpl
Comment out tds -> line 58, 74, 85, 97 (comment example <!-- <td> ..... </td> -->)

catalog\view\theme\default\template\module\account.tpl
Comment out td line 17 - > <!-- <li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li> -->

Let me know if you need more help.

Rather than commenting them out, I'd suggest deleting them (and keeping a copy before hand, in case you decide to re-enable it for any reason). By commenting it out, the code will still be generated and sent to the customer/visitor, but their browser will not show it. By deleting it completely then the customer will never see it at all and the page will be smaller as a result.

Also, make sure you've disabled it by doing some of the other steps from earlier messages, or else someone who knows the URL will be able to go to it directly because the functionality will still be there.

Why on earth is it still not possible to turn this return thing off from the admin? Running Version 1.5.3.1 and it's still a pain in the neck to remove it :(

I am a newbie to OCart and totally agree !!! There needs to be a button somewhere to turn Returns On and Off. I assume this has been added to the Feature Request section. :)

Not only turn it off but also have the option to insert a page that explains that returns are not accepted. And options for when only certain categories can't be returned such as accepting returns of shoes but not underwear.
