HELP? Can I remove the "Add To Cart Button" on certain products???

[Kerrie]

We are starting to get some "items" not necessarily prodcuts for sale, that we want to showcase. We want to set these up like products to maintain consistancy of the site, but do not want people to think that they can buy them.

Is there a way to disable or remove the "Add To Cart Button" on these showcase products only?

Set those up as call for price and then use the stylesheet.css to hide this button ...

Looks like you will have to change the image to a blank images:

includes/ templates/ your template/ images/ call_for_prices.jpg

I am kind of in the same boat, but in my case, I need to be able to completely REMOVE the "add to cart" button, but only on a few products.

Using the CSS is a global change, correct? How would I do this on a per product basis? Is it possible?

You can create SPECIFIC STYLESHEETS for a product;s info page.

Let's say the product's ID is 244...

If you create a stylesheet called:

p_244.css

Then you can style that product's info page, and {display:none} declared for elements on the page will hide them away.

NOTE: this does NOT hide add-to-cart buttons on LISTING PAGES, just the INFO PAGE for that product, so you may have to disable add-to-cart on listing pages to show just the more info link.

Or better yet, just create them as Document-General products, instead of Product-General. (see the pulldown list next to the Add New Product button in your admin screen.)

Ah,,, of course... Irony is that we actually use this function for that very purpose on a few sites... (Wood for Trees syndrome).

I recently did this very thing:

http://www.prommart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=6998

Every product/dress under my Referral Dresses category has the Add to Cart button removed. All other categories work as normal.

I did this in the english.php by removing the "Call for Price" text in two places, that shows on the page. I used an "edit find" to find the Call for Price in the english.php

Then, as I recall, I used the Easy Populate version that allows one to add fields. I added the Call for Price field (it's named something else for the db.) Then I downloaded then reuploaded the products I needed to re-set, setting them for Call for Price.

Thanks for sharing your workaround.

But I respectfully submit that that's much more work than just creating the product as Document-General from the start. Using Document-General involves no special coding, no code/language alterations.

Thanks for the tip. My workaround was based only on what I know. After 6 years there is alot I still don't know about zencart. Like Document General, never yet looked in to what that is.

In my case, hundreds of dresses were already up which had to be changed over, and one of my Easy Populates was very handy for changing to Call for Price. I wonder if it could have changed them to Document General...had I know about that.
