Display price/add to cart - show price only?

[feral_mac]

I am a total newbie but this caught my eye. Ironically I need to turn the price off and have only the add to cart button active! Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks very much

feral_mac ... could you expand on this a bit ...

Why would I want to go shopping and add things to my cart when I don't know how much they are?

Thank you Ajeh,

I need to set up a shopping cart only because all of the prices vary. My client wants folks to browse a catalog and add items to a shopping cart that can then be emailed to someone who will call back with a quote. I need to incorporate this functionality into a Joomla! site. There is a bridge call Cartage that will allow me to bring Zen Cart into my Joomla! site.

I have discovered that there are no extensions approximating this in Joomla!, and Virtuemart appears to have decomposed (sigh). If my coding skills were higher I would add a cart to YOOtheme's ZOO catalogue system (it is very pretty).

Thank you for helping folks in this forum.

We love donuts and coffee everyday ...

On the Quote system ... this can be customized to turn a Zen Cart shop into a Quote system in the concept of:

Customer adds to cart all these products that show no prices and then the checkout would work with a Quote Payment Module of sorts to get through the checkout ... then you call and complete the order over the phone ...

If the whole cart is setup as a Quote Only shop, this is easier to write than if you want to do both selling and Quoting ...

If you want to do selling and quoting and the actual payment/shipping that gets into another large amount of coding ...

But, if you want your whole shop to be just a Quote method, while it does take some customized coding it is not an impossible task, by any means ...

Thanks again Ajeh,
I did need a quote only, now I know what to pursue.

Cheers,

Hi linda can you tell me how i can have the add and qty box along with the price in the product listing page for both the products with attributes as well as without. Currently i get price and more info for products with attributes and qty box and price for products without attributes.

Thanks

You can't have an add button in the listing when options need to be selected, as only the product info page is set up to handle them. You would need to do some advanced customization to handle attributes in the listing page. Some people have done it, and there is a mod called "options on product listing" - see the drop down attributes at product listing page near add to cart button. thread, especially post 26 & following.

NO i think you misunderstood me i just want that for products which have attributes and which do not have attributes the product listing page looks same that is it displays the price and the qty box i do not want to display attributes in the listing page

[gjh42]

You can't have just the add & qty box in the listing for products with attributes, because options need to be selected before you can add to cart.
That's not a code limitation, it's a logical necessity.
