vQMod help to hide meta keywords fields

Quote

Post by andyexeter » Tue Jan 28, 2014 11:05 pm

I'm an experienced OpenCart developer but have only just started playing around with writing my own vQmods

I want to hide the meta keywords field from all admin forms. I wrote something up which after reading the scripting guide I now know won't work:

Code: Select all

<file path="admin/view/template/catalog/" name="*_form.tpl">
		<operation>
			<search position="replace" offset="-1" index="1"><![CDATA[<td><?php echo $entry_meta_keyword; ?>]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[<tr style="display:none;">]]></add>
		</operation>
</file>
Obviously negative offsets don't work, but I just want to replace the <tr> parent of all <td><?php echo $entry_meta_keyword; ?></td> with <tr style="display:none;"> in all form templates

Is there a way of doing this without using jQuery/JavaScript to manipulate the DOM?

I'm using vQMod version 2.4.1 and OpenCart version 1.5.6.1 - Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks, Andy

Andy

Try this out - working on my local server:

Code: Select all

<operation>
		<search position="ibefore"><![CDATA[
		<td><?php echo $entry_meta_keyword; ?></td>
		]]></search>

		<add><![CDATA[
		<tr style="display: none">
		]]></add>
	</operation>
The 'ibefore' attribute inserts the new line of code before the search line INSTEAD of the previous line.

HTH?

Thanks for your reply webvet. The code you provided does work in terms of hiding the meta keywords field but it does not replace the parent <tr> - The vqcache file now looks like:

Code: Select all

<tr>
    <tr style="display:none;"><td><?php echo $entry_meta_keyword; ?></td>
</tr>
This is basically the same as using the 'before' keyword except the new <tr> is displayed on the same line as the <td>

I'd really just like to replace the parent <tr> itself as I'm left with invalid markup now :(

Thanks again for the help

Sorry - it was too late when I replied... Didn't spot that extra <tr>!!!!

This seems to work for the product form, haven't tested it on any other pages but might be worth a try:

Code: Select all

<operation>
		<search position="replace" offset="3"><![CDATA[
		<td><textarea name="product_description[<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>][meta_description]" cols="40" rows="5"><?php echo isset($product_description[$language['language_id']]) ? $product_description[$language['language_id']]['meta_description'] : ''; ?></textarea></td>
]]></search>

		<add trim="true"><![CDATA[
		<td><textarea name="product_description[<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>][meta_description]" cols="40" rows="5"><?php echo isset($product_description[$language['language_id']]) ? $product_description[$language['language_id']]['meta_description'] : ''; ?></textarea></td>
		</tr>
		<tr style="display: none">
		<td><?php echo $entry_meta_keywords; ?></td>
		]]></add>
</operation>

Great idea using the meta_description field and replacing lines below! Works perfectly, thanks very much. I might try playing with a regex pattern to catch all if it doesn't work for other forms

Thanks again webvet I appreciate the help

For anybody that stumbles across this post here is the final working operation using a regular expression to hide the meta_keywords field on all forms:

Code: Select all

	<file path="admin/view/template/catalog/" name="*_form.tpl">
    <operation>
          <search position="replace" offset="3" regex="true"><![CDATA[~(<td><textarea.*name=".*\[meta_description\]".*)~]]></search>
          <add trim="true"><![CDATA[\1
          </tr>
          <tr style="display: none">
          <td></td>
          ]]></add>
    </operation>
	</file>
