ifconfig on removing block

Question

I would like to remove the discount code block but have it manageable.

I know if I want to remove it I can do

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<layout>
<checkout_cart_index>
<reference name="content">
<remove name="checkout.cart.coupon"/>
</reference>
</checkout_cart_index>
</layout>

However if I try to add ifconfig="module/manage_settings/enable_module" it doesnt work

I have also tried

<action method="unsetChild" ifconfig="module/manage_settings/enable_module">
                <name>checkout.cart.coupon</name>
            </action>

Could someone please advise

Answer 1

You can set empty template:

<reference name="checkout.cart.coupon">
    <action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="module/manage_settings/enable_module">
         <template>somefolder/empty.phtml</template>
    </action>
</reference>

and create somefolder/empty.phtmlwithout content.
