Can I put all my images on zencart? They are disappearing after sold

[beautifulminds-us]

I sell unique art for a living. I have just started trying to sell online. I have put many of the images on the site, but if they are sold, they are taken off automatically by zencart. While the artwork is sold, I would like to provide viewers with examples of the wide variety of art our artists can produce. How do I put on the sold art without allowing people to buy it.

Change the settings on how your Stock is managed so Sold Out does not go to products_status 0 but rather stays at products_status 1 and Sold Out appears when products_quantity <= 0 ...

You may find the Gallery Category mod useful.

Okay. I still have not been able to post the other artwork. I went to "Stock" and changed the "Sold Out" number from "0" to "1" and still see no other pictures. I downloaded the "Gallery Category" but have a problem knowing how to load it onto my site, hosted by "hostmonster". So, everything I have needs to be uploaded to there. I was able to upload Zencart via "hostmonster" and didn't need to organize anything, just tweak some code. So, how am I supposed to get this to work again?

What is the URL to your site?

Ajeh's answer will cause products that are sold (in the future, after you make the change) to show up as "Sold Out" instead of disappearing.
For the products that are already disabled, you'll have to manually re-enable them if you want them to be visible.

There are some programs you will need for maintaining and upgrading your site, and if you don't already have them, you should get them now.

A file compression utility like winzip or 7zip for unzipping downloaded files.

An FTP client like Filezilla for moving files between your pc and the server.

A text editor like Notepad++ or CrimsonEditor for editing PHP and CSS files (DO NOT use a word processor like Word.)

You can download some of these free from sourceforge.net.
When you have them, unzip the Gallery Category .zip file. Look at the contents, and read the readme.txt file in Notepad for full directions.
Use Filezilla to upload the entire /includes/ folder as a unit to the root of your site (/public_html/, /htdocs/, /public_html/shop/, or whatever), and the files will drop into place where they are supposed to be.
