Top header phone number Disable or Change to Email

straightlight wrote:The following example will be used for the default template.

In your catalog/view/theme/<your_theme>/template/common/header.tpl file,

find:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>

The $telephone is the variable that defines the contact number.

In your catalog/controller/common/header.php file,

find:

Code: Select all

$data['telephone'] = $this->config->get('config_telephone');

add below:

Code: Select all

$data['email'] = $this->config->get('config_email');

You can now use: $email into your header template file.

$data['email'] = $this->config->get('config_email');

Notice: Undefined variable: email in /catalog/view/theme/zerone/template/common/header.tpl on line 51

In catalog/view/theme/YOUR_THEME/template/common/header.tpl find

Code: Select all

        <li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>

Add after

Code: Select all

<li><a href="mailto:YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS?"><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $email; ?></span></a></li>

Change YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS to the email address you wish to use

If you want to remove the telephone number then just comment it out in header.tpl like this

Code: Select all

<!--<li><a href="<?php echo $contact; ?>"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md"><?php echo $telephone; ?></span></li>-->

Hope this helps
