Is there a way to not show the product SKU in the frontend? I'd like to turn it off from displaying to the customer, but i still want the code their for the backend.
On another note, the forum search blocks you from searching on the word 'code' and 'SKU' is too short. I was unable to search on whether this had been discussed before.
Cheers,
Scott.

you need to edit a few files
skins > your skin > customer > blocks > product_list_templates > products.tpl
change show_sku=true to show_sku=false
skins > your skin > customer > views > products > view.tpl
in the line
{include file=$product.product_id|fn_get_product_details_layout product=$product show_sku=true show_rating=true show_old_price=true show_price=true show_list_discount=true show_clean_price=true details_page=true show_discount_label=true show_product_amount=true show_product_options=true hide_form=$smarty.capture.val_hide_form show_qty=true min_qty=true show_edp=true show_add_to_cart=true show_list_buttons=true but_role="action" capture_buttons=$smarty.capture.val_capture_buttons capture_options_vs_qty=$smarty.capture.val_capture_options_vs_qty separate_buttons=$smarty.capture.val_separate_buttons show_add_to_cart=true show_list_buttons=true but_role="action" block_width=true no_ajax=$smarty.capture.val_no_ajax}
change show_sku=true to show_sku=false
Doing these 2 will remove the product code from the products the customer seea but will
allow you to still see it i the admin area etc
Thank you!

[/quote]Any thoughts on turning off the SKU code in the cart contents? I’ve done a code search on; “show_sku=true” and so far have turned off the sku display in the following files;
\skins\mytemplate\customer\blocks\product_list_templates\products.tpl (sku turned off)
\skins\mytemplate\customer\blocks\product_list_templates\products_grid.tpl (sku turned off)
\skins\mytemplate\customer\views\products\view.tpl (sku turned off)
addons\required_products\blocks\product_tabs\required_products.tpl (sku off)
addons\product_configurator\hooks\products\view_main_info_override.tpl (sku off)
addons\wishlist\views\wishlist\view.tpl (sku off)
blocks\product_list_templates\short_list.tpl (sku off)
blocks\product_list_templates\products_without_options.tpl (sku off)
But its still showing in the cart…
