Hi all I found the answer to this elsewhere.
Just turning off the add to cart button wasn't working for me so here's the code. This is for a column layout.
I also amended includes/languages/english.php on line 372
// more info in place of buy now
define('MORE_INFO_TEXT','<img src="includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/buttons/english/button_view_item.png">');
Then created a button called button_view_item.png and uploaded it to the zen buttons directory. Code below if anybody needs it.
