f002 Classic 9 Colors Template – How To Remove The Free Shipping Image

by Jeremy on April 22, 2009

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

It’s been a while since I last posted.

I’ve been working a lot with the f002 classic 9 colors template. How to remove the free shipping image and customer support image (in the hard code) has frustrated me off and on for quite a while now. I’ts not hard, but each time I begin working on the template, I forget and have to relearn all over again. Hopefully these instructions will be to your benefit as much as they are for mine.

Removing the images

Find the following file: catalog.xml

Located in: public_html/app/design/frontend/default/f002/layout/catalog.xml

Delete the “Call Us Toll Free” image:

Ctrl+F for “col_left_callout-1″
You will find a line of code that looks like this:

<block type=”core/template” after=”-” name=”left.permanent.callout-1″ template=”callouts/left_col.phtml”>

                <action method=”setImgSrc”><src>images/media/col_left_callout-1.jpg</src></action>

                <action method=”setImgAlt” translate=”alt” module=”catalog”><alt>Our customer service is available 24/7. Call us at (800) DEMO-NUMBER.</alt></action>

                <action method=”setLinkUrl”><url>checkout/cart</url></action>

            </block>

This code is the default “call us toll free” image. Delete it.

Delete the “Free Shipping” image:
Ctrl + F for 

 
<block type=”core/template” after=”-” name=”left.permanent.callout-2″ template=”callouts/left_col.phtml”>

                <action method=”setImgSrc”><src>images/media/col_left_callout-2.jpg</src></action>

                <action method=”setImgAlt” translate=”alt” module=”catalog”><alt>Our customer service is available 24/7. Call us at (800) DEMO-NUMBER.</alt></action>

                <action method=”setLinkUrl”><url>checkout/cart</url></action>

            </block>
 

This code is the default “Free Shipping” image. Delete it.

An alternative to deleting these images is to simply replace them using your own custom image.

Pretty straightforward.

Good luck and don’t hesitate to let me know if you need help!

Thanx for this mini-tut :)

What i miss is the language-switch with the flags in the f002-template. How can it be activated?

i am searching for a fast method, to have for every website an own f002 structure to get the pics to the right language. have you some ideas for an easy way, if one exists? :-) thanks

In f002 how do you rename or delete “Product” from the menu and start with a clean menu. My categories keep showing up under Products but I do not see Products in the category admin.

Thanks.

An easier way to do this is to log into the admin panel and navigate to CMS – Pages – Home Page – Design.

At the end of the Custom Layout Update XML box type in the following:

For whatever reason deleting the lines as noted above did not work, but this did. I’m running 1.4.0.1
