How to display a product that's not for sale?

Hi All,

I have a product that I wish to display in my shop but I don't want it to be able to be added to the cart.

Is there a setting that effectively says, "This is just for display"?

Thanks in advance,

Des

Mark it as ...
Call for Price YES

and you have all the features of a Product accept that it cannot be added to the cart ...

Re: How to display a product that's not for sale?

Hi Guys

This is a similar problem to what i am trying to resolve there is currently just the call for price attribute in the products description that will disable the product from being purchased what i would like to do is add maybe one or two more similar items that can bring up different text for customer to see.

For example we may have new products that we would like it to say Call for Best Price, and on second hand products it may say available in store only.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

Two approaches could be used ...

1 customize the Admin to allow you to enter values 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. for the products_is_call field ... to represent each method ...

Then, based on the Value, customize the current code where the products_is_call is used to change based on the value of the field ...

2 Or, add new fields to the products table for each flag and try to manage the display based on these new fields ...

Then, you can check the new fields for any new display of text, functionality etc.
