Our product is an affinity card that represents special offers.

I originally followed the instructions given in another post on how to have both saleable and non saleable items - with the card being set up as product - general and the items with special offers set as document - general

but the drawback of not being able to link to the manufacturers list is an issue - which was mentioned in the instructions, which I saw but wasn't fully aware of the ramifications.. so I may have shot myself in the foot..

My question is - is there a way to have the products that have offers attached to them display with all the info and just not have them be able to add to the cart?

or the 2nd option - is there a quick way to list the manufacturers in another fashion.

I apologize for the basic level of this question, I think I've overthought this and I just can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for any help.
