Why on earth does he want to do that?

and what's the point? the whole system is an E-commerce solution which means it's a shoping program if you remove the shopping cart what's left? Nothing - right.

 

I think you need a CMS (Contact Management System) Site.

 

If it's open source you want do a search through your favourite search engine mines askjeeves.com

 

Let me know!

Thanks

 

Our client has a small bookshop only catering to our local area the guy doesn?t deal with credit cards.

 

But we liked the easy of os com so we went with that since is has a great support site we don't do php work as we are only a small ISP in New Zealand. We wanted to use this site like a online shop window. people look at what the want and just ring up since it's only a local market and the costs are very low, not needing a store or staff this seamed like a good system to use and our sever can pre load it so it's no trouble about installing it.

 

I hope this clears the picture up for you and you can see where I?m comeing from.

Hello,

 

I am not sure why you wouldn't know how to uninstall the program or what your exact setup is, but from my experience you delete all of the files you installed using an ftp client (or whatever program you use to acess your server/host files) and then get rid of the no longer needed sql database.

 

Let me know if your problem is a little more complicated than that or if i have even helped you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dave

Dave,

 

As I understood the question he doesn't want to delete the program, just stop the functionality of the shop.

 

Kind Regards,

I guess everyone can form their own interpretation.

 

It's my assumption that when someone says "get rid of" they mean to get rid of it completely, delete it, trash it, remove it, and not disable it or "stop the functionality of it".

 

Your interpretation gives me a better understanding of your statement.

Why on earth does he want to do that?
But I still don't know what made you come to that conclusion.

 

So now we have multiple interpretations of your intentions sharpbutblunt. It would be good to have a better explanation of exactly what you are are trying to accomplish so that we may have a better chance of helping you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dave

You can go through and remove all the links to checking out or adding items to the cart from the individual files. I believe that someone did a contribution on setting this up but I do not remember what it was called so you will have to do some searching for it.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??

Hi,

 

There is a simple solution... to your problem. Just choose COD option in payment modules and remove all remaining modules.... This will shoot a mail to you as soon as someone orders and completes the checkout process. you can contact that person from your mail and close the sale.

 

This way you do not have to do anything expect removing the payment modules.

 

See if this works for you.

there is a big switch ($_GET['action']) { statement in application_top.php

enclose that with

 

if (0) {

 

}

 

then no actions are executed and the cart always stays empty.
