Add More Info Button after Buy Now on category listing

[gothstone]

In category listing my customers see a pic, a name, and a buy now button, or a more info text and a sold out button. I would like to add a more info button (people don't always know to click on the title or picture) below the buy now button. I would also like to either keep sold out the way it is, or remove the more info text and have the more info button below the sold out button. Has any one done this? Anyone know how?

Anybody?

Well you could replace buy now buttons with a more INFO link.

Configuration -> Product Listing -> Display Product Add to Cart Button (0=off; 1=on; 2=on with Qty Box per Product)

set it to: 0

I'm still interested in doing this if anyone has found the solution. I want to have a "More Info" button as well as a "Buy Now" button next to each other. I tried messing around with product_listing.php in includes/modules, but I couldn't get both to appear at the same time. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

Hi All...

i realize this is an old thread....
but i think i got it...

In the IF ELSE statement the decides weather to display the "Buy now" button or the "More Info" text on line 153 of the product_listing.php page in my template...

i just grabed the code that displays the "More info' text and added just after the "buy now" code so it displays both...

i dont think this is the way i was meant to do it... but i am so close to finishing... that i dont think i will change the "Admin / Database settings"... so its working for me...

Or anyone els got a idea how to do it?

i want both more info and buy now.. thanks

After nearly killing myself over this wee issue - I've figured it out.

- beware - back up any file you ever chnage!!!

I am using the column listing module however (and I am also only displaying the more info link - no other add to cart, qty information) - but what I did was swop

MORE_INFO_TEXT in the product_listing.php module for this

zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BUY_NOW, BUTTON_BUY_NOW_ALT, 'class="listingBuyNowButton"')

and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decided to clean this up a bit rather than just hacking the code!

(again back up any files you change - better safe than very sorry!!)

I've created the button define image & button alt text for more info within
includes/languages/english/buttons_names.php

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_ALT', 'More information');

&

define('BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_INFO', 'button_more_info.gif');

I've then updated my product_listng.php file to show the new definitions zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_MORE_INFO, BUTTON_MORE_INFO_ALT, 'class="listingBuyNowButton"')

Oops - one more wee thing - I created a more info button and popped it up to my template/button folder as well (I know this is pretty obvious!)

Peanut77, in regards to what you mentioned above does this get it to show buy now and more info simultaneously?
