Hide Price Info

[jollyguy4all]

Hi,

 

I have recently installed oscommerce. It looks brilliant, but i have few queries.

 

I wanted only a online catalog for products of different categories. I wont be using the shopping part of the application. Hence i want to know how can i hide the price info and the other shopping icons like view your cart and also the add reviews icon from display.

 

Thanks and regards

Great, another person which seem to have the same reason as me to implement osCommerce. Please let me know if you find a easy way to do this.

 

My worry is that it'll be quite some work to accomplish this. I think the shopping cart and prices are too well implemented in the application. But wth...challenge! :-)

 

Please take into consideration that I'm a professional PHP-newbie, so any solution should be as much self-explained as possible.

 

Thanks

The things that need to be done are hide prices and hide buttons for buying.

 

On the product listing you can turn off the buy now button in the Admin.

 

On the display of prices if you edit the function display that is located in the /includes/classes/currencies.php at the bottom of the file to turn off the prices by doing a return '' rather than the current return of the price display, most of the job is done.

 

Now edit the /includes/header.php and remove the links for the cart and if you are not tracking customer accounts then remove those links as well.

 

On the main page, take out the create account and login.

 

As to the In Cart, that can be edited in the product_info.php so the submit button to add to the cart is not there.

 

Most everything is now turned off that refers to buying.

 

It may appear at first to be a very daunting task, but it really is not that difficult to convert the shop to a show case rather than a store.

Yes, it isn't difficult, (I very newbie did it) :-)

 

I did it thanks to Linda...

 

If you search the forum should be a list of things that should be commented that Linda wrote for me a little back.

Hi, I'm very new to this... and I need some help.

 

It's about hiding prices, but not everywhere, I still want to have a store.

 

The problem is I have different products, and while most of them have one price, some of them have different prices depending on the different sizes.

 

So I've been reading and trying to figure out the best solution, but I'm still not sure which way to go.

 

The only thing I've been able to achieve so far is to show the right price on the dropdown box depending on the size.

 

Say I'm selling sheets.

 

twin size at $29 (this price doesn't show on the dropdown)

full size at $39

queen size at $49

king size at $59

 

So my only achievement is a dropdown box with Twin, Full $39, Queen $49, King $59. And already I have a problem with the Twin not displaying a price.

And in the product page, I have $29 on the top right corner, no matter what they choose from the dropdown, which could be confusing. Also in the index page, the product is listed at $29.

 

Now I can't use "from $29" because I have other products that have only one price.

 

I've tried to hide the $29 from the product page, but it looks weird not having a price anywhere in the page, and then they wouldn't be able to tell what the price for the Twin is.

 

So I am now trying to hide completely the Price from the index page and from the product page, so that I can set the price at $1 in the product, and then with attributes I can specify a price to also appear for the Twin on the dropdown box.

 

Because as of right now to have the Twin price to appear on the dropdown it needs to be anything more than the basic price, but even if I make it 0.1 it will be $29.01 on the dropdown, while $29 on the index and on the product page.

 

Please let me know which files I need to change, and how, to hide (not delete, I guess) the Price info on the index page. I've also tried to hide the "Price" wording on the main table, but as much as I try the best I get is the TABLE_HEADING_PRICE to show up.

 

Can you please help?

Thank you.
