Category in the shop just to show examples?

I am new to this software - so I apologize for any ridiculous questions.

I am working on a clients site that uses this software and I have made my way around it alright, but I am no master.

Basically they sell hand painted signs... there are various categories, but what they want to do is have a custom category (which exists now), but have it so nothing is technically for sale.

It is only to display example products so visitors can look at them and inquire...

It would be nice if this can be done so that a custom page does not have to be created for the site - I can use the existing back-end to change out products if needed...

Anyone have any ideas on this.

You can create the examples as "document-general" product type, and they will be handled as information only with no price or buy buttons.

If you want them to be handled just like other products but not show stock level, price or add to cart, you can try the Gallery Category mod in Free Addons.

Can you help walk me through changing this product type to "document general"

all the items are in the store... just need to make it so you can't add it to the cart or show stock ammount... just the information...

Thanks... sorry for the newbie attitude

I don't believe you can change the product type of existing products. You would have to copy the info and enter them again as document-general. It might be easier for you to install Gallery Category and make the category that holds those products act like a showcase.
