Hello.

How to totally remove "manufacturer" from admin & products? I just don't need this field in store. So i would like to remove from admin, so i wouldn't need to select it when adding new product. Also i don't need to show "manufacturer" field in product description page.

Thanks.

There's no NEED to add a manufacturer to a product so the admin area isnt really a crucial change
As for the product template, simply open

Code: Select all

/catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/product.php
and remove the following

Code: Select all

              <?php if ($manufacturer) { ?>
              <tr>
                <td><b><?php echo $text_manufacturer; ?></b></td>
                <td><a href="<?php echo str_replace('&', '&', $manufacturers); ?>"><?php echo $manufacturer; ?></a></td>
              </tr>
              <?php } ?>

we should not touch the files in the default template.

You should create your theme following this

http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... path=43_44

and then create a file under your

theme_name/template/common/manufacture.tpl and leave the file empty
