10/09/2019, 3:22 PMHi @eminero you can do it on the configuration record, go to Shopping Catalog -> Item Options, and then check the “SHOW ONLY ITEMS LISTED IN: ITEM OPTIONS AND CUSTOM TRANSACTION COLUMN FIELDS” and on the bottom of the screen you need to configure all options that you want to show on the PDP.

10/09/2019, 3:27 PMHi @Steve Goldberg and @Martin the thing is that they appear on the cart and checkout, I am setting those values in the backend, however I do not want them to be displayed on the PDP, because the customer is not allow to enter values for those fields. so I was wondering, is is possible to create an empty template in order to hide them? or another approach
eminero
10/09/2019, 3:28 PMI do need them to be displayed on the cart and checkout

Martin
10/09/2019, 3:28 PMYes you can create an empty template and use the configuration record
Martin
10/09/2019, 3:29 PMYou have the Selector Template that is the one used for the PDP
Martin
10/09/2019, 3:29 PMAnd the Selected Template that is the one used on Cart and Checkout
Martin
10/09/2019, 3:29 PMIf you do that, there’s no need to check the checkbox that i mentioned before

10/09/2019, 3:31 PMThat's a pretty clever way of doing it. I was just going to suggest running
jQuery('#custcol_gen_size-container').remove()m
Martin
10/09/2019, 3:38 PMhaha or in a CMS Area

10/09/2019, 3:42 PMThanks guys! just another question, I create the empty template, then deploy, and after that, should this appear on the selector template?

Steve Goldberg
10/09/2019, 3:59 PMGood question. I'm pretty sure you'd need to edit the config record schema https://developers.suitecommerce.com/section4750012866
Steve Goldberg
10/09/2019, 3:59 PMsee "add a new default option to an array"
Steve Goldberg
10/09/2019, 4:01 PMand refer to ProductViews.ItemOptions.json for the property paths

10/09/2019, 4:15 PMThanks @Steve Goldberg I will let you know how it goes!

Steve Goldberg
10/09/2019, 4:16 PMyeah let me know, might make a cool blog post
e
eminero
10/09/2019, 4:17 PMThat sounds great!
eminero
10/11/2019, 8:08 PMHey @Steve Goldberg and @Martin the empty template solution works! but it involves a few extra steps, you need to override the ProdutViews.js script in which you need to add as a dependecy your new empty template and add to an array of objects as well. I think the idea for a blog post for this is necessary.

10/14/2019, 4:30 PM@eminero Thanks, I've spent a bit of time looking at this and I'm inclined to agree that you may be right about the ProductViews editing, which is a bit worrying. Can you tell me which parts of the file you edited?

eminero
10/14/2019, 4:36 PM@Steve Goldberg besides to include the empty template as a dependency, I just added it to this array, then if this was setup in the configuration record, this is assigned for that item option
eminero
10/14/2019, 4:36 PMYou do not need to edit anything else in the logic, you just need to include the empty template
s
Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 4:39 PMOK TFI.
e
eminero
10/14/2019, 4:44 PMLet me know if this is a right solution, I think is not so bad to override that file but I may be wrong.
s
Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 4:50 PMI think this shouldn't be necessary
Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 4:50 PMBut that is what I am trying to find out. I hit a brick wall myself so wanted to see how you did it.
e
eminero
10/14/2019, 5:03 PMI got it, let me know if you need more details since I created a Configuration file as well in order to include the new array option for the empty template
s
Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 5:07 PMThanks. I already created a new config file to add in the new option to the config record, along with the empty template, but when I try to use it it doesn't work. I tell it to use my special template, but it just ignores it and uses the default instead. When I change the default to my empty template, I just get a white screen on my PDPs and it fails to load 😂
Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 5:07 PMSo I'm just wondering if I really need to edit/override that JS file
e
eminero
10/14/2019, 5:13 PMyeah it happened to me as well, so I solved that overriding that file, if you put a debug on that file and follow the logic, you will notice that it never finds your new template since it is missing in the array of selector I put above.

Steve Goldberg
10/14/2019, 5:13 PMYup. That's what I thought.
