Virtuemart - Disable SKU

Been working on Joomla and VirtueMart lately :) On of the "customization" that people (client) always want is to disable or remove the SKU number from cart, or basket, or order details page.

Did a Google search a found out that there are quite a number of people out there offering solutions to remove SKU, but at a high price. Actually, you can hide the print of the SKU in the basket and order details page.


To disable SKU in "basket", find the file at

components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/basket/basket_b2c.html.php

Note: If you are using other customized theme, go to ../theme/<your-theme>/ instead.

Inside that file around like 23 you will find the header of the column print

_('PHPSHOP_CART_SKU') ?>

You can comment that or delete Usually, to be safe, I'll just comment it ( /* .......*/ ).

Then for the SKU code, around line 31, do the same thing, remove or comment it.


To disable SKU in "account order details" page, find the file at

components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/pages/
account.order_details.tpl.php

Then, find all the lines that contains "SKU" and delete/comment them out.



Hope this helps some of you out there. :)
