Why is there no Buy Now button on my product pages?

[Dre'ski]

i need to simply add a "add to cart button" or "buy now button" on each product info page.
as it stand now, my prospects and clients has to go to the category to by (if they figure out they can do that)...so far i've only been able to find partial info on the subject.

So in advance forgive me if it's somewhere on a thread, but so far no luck for me.

Could someone give me the exact location on how to modify this, so the buttons show up.

My site is www.pet-stain-removal.com

Click on any product info and you'll see (out of frustration) I added a buy now link to the respective category pages since that's all I could do with my limited knowledge.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Your Template Monster template has deleted or commented out the add to cart code block:

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

so you need to open /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and see what the area between those comments looks like. Post it inside [php] and [/php] tags so we can read it easily.

Product listings have a buy now

Product Info pages have a missing add to cart

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

As a Template Monster template - you need to check with them as to if this is how they have it coded or if it is something you changed

You are right, I want it to showup on the product detail page as this is the quickest path for the prospect or client to buy.

Thanks for your help.

it is set at "0" I tried setting to "3" with no luck.

Why do you have these lines commented out?

   // $display_qty = (($flag_show_product_info_in_cart_qty == 1 and $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart($_GET['products_id'])) ? '<p>' . PRODUCTS_ORDER_QTY_TEXT_IN_CART . $_SESSION['cart']->get_quantity($_GET['products_id']) . '</p>' : '');

[Dre'ski]

Didn't know it was that way...is that the problem? If so, would you tell me how it should be. thx

[DrByte]

It appears as though whoever designed your template has intentionally busted core functionality.
Such is the drawback of using templates designed by companies like TemplateMonster who take no regard for retaining proper functionality.

You can either ask them to help you fix what they broke, or you can sort it out yourself by comparing what they gave you against the original versions of the files.
