    Default Showcase and Products on Certain Pages

    I really love the layout and ease of use of Zen Cart.

    I have a site that would benefit from using Zen Cart only if I can have the Information Pages entered just as the product pages so I can use the Categories Box and then have some Store Pages to sell on.

    So basically the opposite of using EZ Pages as we do now.

    Can this be done using the current Admin CP? Or can the Buy Now/Add to Cart functions be eliminated in the Product Pages?

    Thanks.
    Cheers!

    Using the built-in product types, you could create document-general products for your "information pages", and regular "product-general" products for the things you want to sell.

    Can you be more specific as to how that works?

    So add a Category for something and than add document-general products to that? So then those pages are just information and cannot be added to cart unless I specify?

    Where on the Add Product pages do you specify this?

    I think I got it.

    document-general products will describe the whole category so that there can be a Store Category and and info Category.

    Products of the type Document-General cannot be added to cart.
    Plus, they also show up in the Documents category sidebox instead of the product category sidebox.

    You can group them into categories if you wish. And you can even edit category properties to restrict certain categories to only allow you to choose certain product types from the pulldown list when creating them.

    This works for my needs. Thanks Doc.

    However, can images be omitted for Document-General pages?

    I did not see this Layout Settings.
