tactics Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Quick question: I want to disable online ordering in my store for the time being while I get all the bugs worked out with shipping, etc. I still want people to be able to browse the store and look at the items, just not add them to their cart. I thought there was an easy way to do this, but can't remember how. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Thanks, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tactics Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 This? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4193 I'll check that out. But from the sound of it, it still allows people to add things to a cart, just not place the order. What I'm after is just completely disabling the add to cart button and product options altogether. I thought at one point I saw an option in the osc admin that said something like "allow ordering?", but I can't seem to locate it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitseffort Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 why not use a down for maintenance that excludes your IP during repairs? This way the customers easily understand why they cant use the shop for a few hours "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer. --Ken Kesey" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way the customers easily understand why they cant use the shop for a few hours I already mentioned why in my first post; I still want people to view all the products and call if they want to order.

rabbitseffort Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 you didnt say you needed them to be able to call you or that would have made sense--I still contend it makes more sense and is less modding to use a down for maintenance, plus on the down for maintenance page you can include a phone for them to call while you are down, but whatever suits you--good luck "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.
