It seems like a lot of code to manage, especially when you upgrade to a newer version of Opencart.....no?
I'm surprised an opensource product this mature hasn't had an on/off switch developed for the affiliate feature....
Hopefully that is coming...
Ironic isn't it? Even as a free provided solution, people may still question about the process.ShorePatrol wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:01 pmI'm not sure I understand all the colors - green means to ADD the code, and RED means to delete the code from those files?

Yes, we get free software and the owners of the "open source" software get millions of dollars of free input.
We should be on the same team and not constantly reminded how lucky we are to use "free" software.
In this case, it should be a simple on/off button.

While it may be easy to believe that a button should work like magic, it takes time to develop a project. Nothing can take two minutes to work with such features.MysticKnight wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:37 pmWe question it because an open source product should work.

How much time does it take?

By simply following the instructions from the Github link on the above, it should only take a few minutes depending on how quick and well the instructions can be followed. However, if you're referring to the project reply from my previous post, it's always based on the type and the size of the project.How much time does it take?

I’m sure the majority of people don’t have affiliate programs anyway, so I’m not sure why it was so hard coded to begin with.
But since people started pointing out that exact problem in 2011, and many times since then, I figured someone would have fixed it by now.

You might be right on this one regarding the back-end change. However, I just realized that also removing the links won't help in this case since, either deactivating the feature or hiding the links, will affect the SEOs and POS which is the reason I believe why Daniel did not set a deactivation feature for it in the first place and the same applies for product returns ...

Works fine for me
That will only deactivate the text but not the URL.info@erobird.nl wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:10 pmAn easy solution is to remove the link, in fact make it invisible: $_['text_affiliate'] = '';

But no one can click on it and it is not visible.
In my humble opinion it is gone.
It even leaves no space....
Bots still can in this case because the URL route itself still exists. A user could also manually try to access the URL directly.info@erobird.nl wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 10:57 pmformally you are right of course.

Can you tell me where to make this change please?
Thank you
as has been mentioned before, that is strictly not a solution.
The Marketplace has an overwhelming amount of results for the query "disable affiliate".
I suggest you go with one of those instead.
