Showing Add to Cart button, and Categories/SubCategories expanded on Index

[renode]

I apologize in advance if there is a post about this topic particularly, but I spent twenty minutes searching and couldn't find anything that solved my issue. I've tried to note everything I can. Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide, as I'm doing this for a client and about to explode from the stress of getting an eCommerce site up and running for them in such a short time.

My issue is that my product pages have no "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" button of any type. It doesn't necessarily need to have both, but it should have at least one obviously. Note that Buy Now is listed when browsing Categories and seeing a product listing in that view, but not when viewing the actual product page itself.

For example, check out this product page, and you'll see there's no way to buy the product. But when you view the source:

<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->
              <!--eof Add to Cart Box-->

Empty. So when we take a look at the way I have the product page set up behind the scenes, it looks like this.

In the long run what I'm trying to accomplish is to create items which have infinite stock and stock isn't subtracted when they're purchased, and customers should be able to add as many to the cart as they wish. Thanks again for any help you can provide, and if you happen to know how I could set the Categories on the main page to already be expanded to show SubCategories, I would really appreciate it!

That obviously looks wrong. You need to have a look at a file:

includes/templates/yourtemplate/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

This is the file that produces the heart of the product info page.

You will easily find the bit between the two comment lines that you have quoted. If you want you could post the section between those comments for us to have a look.

I believe there is a mod that expands the category tree. I'll have a look now...

Have a look at:

Certainly, and thanks for the quick reply! Let me know what you think. I purchased this theme from someone for a starting point and have been editing it to my liking but I haven't touched this file. I'm also checking out the link you posted about that mod, thanks!

OK. Well that is the standard code so that is good.

In admin>>configuration>>my store>>store status

what have you got?

[renode]

0. Forgot to mention that.

Also, what have you got in :

admin >> configuration >> customer details >> Customer Shop Status - View Shop and Prices

[renode]

0 also.

Thanks for the continued support, Nick. This is baffling to me.

This was sorted out by reverting to the default version of the tpl_product_info_display.php file rather than the version included in the template.
