Different Buttons for Different Products

Is it possible to add different buttons to different product categories? I've been looking around and can't figure out how this would be done.

A link to your site?
An explanation of what you mean by different "Buttons" and where (what page/location) they might be.

Re: Different Buttons for Different Products

the site is https://www.boltoncelebrates.org.

If you go to the event sign-up page, you'll come to a page that is intended to allow people to register for an event. I'll soon be adding a section for merchandise to raise money and for these items, I'll want the "add to cart button". However, for the event registration items, I'd like to use a button that says "Register".

If the items are setup as different product categories, can you change the buttons? I'd also really like to get rid of that text next to each text box if possible.

Re: Different Buttons for Different Products

For the differences that you are seeking the way to accomplish this is to create a new product type and define there what and how it will be displayed.

By default, there are 3 types installed with the installation, general, document and music. You can look at these form the admin side as well as the front end to see the differences and then decide what you want and build it.

The following should get you started:

Re: Different Buttons for Different Products

Thanks. I'll start work. Do you know how to get rid of the text next to the free-text attribute so that it's just blank?

Re: Different Buttons for Different Products

What are your settings in the asmin product entry page for this?

What do you have set for "product price" and product free
