Guest Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Is there a way to remove the ADD TO CART buttons ONLY for the free item category. My items are digital downloads and there is no need to login, create an account or to go through the payment process. I have the files stored on 4shared.com since I cant find a way to store them on the server for my site without having to go through the payment process. I have added a link for download, but it is in black and I need it blue and bold, I guess because people still click the add to cart button. PLEASE someone give me some direction on how to do this. I dont want to have to take the page down. thanks, michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 This get's rid of the button, but you'll have an "open form" on the page. And I'm not sure what the user will do to "continue". I guess choose another category or hit the back button in the browser? :unsure: Without a lot of coding changes, I'm at a loss to suggest anything other than what you want - Remove the button. Maybe someone sharper than me will come along with something better. Until then, it won't be hard to give this a try... MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS. In your /catalog/product_info.php find this code: <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td> Change it to this: <?php if ( $products_price >= 0.01 ) { ?> <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td> <?php } ?> Like I said, I'm not real happy with this, but I believe it will do what you want. Or at least what you THINK you want... :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 OK. I came up with a better idea (about 10 seconds after I posted). Let's replace it with the "Back" button. Find the same code as before, but replace it with the code below: <?php if ( $products_price >= 0.01 ) { ?> <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td> <?php } else { ?> <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $current_category_id ) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_back.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BACK) . '</a>'; ?></td> <?php } ?> I like this, and I think you will too. :) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 You're welcome, Ma'am. :rolleyes: From "cruising the forum" and looking at other posts, I thought you'd given up on the idea. If you have problems with the code let me know. I have a place where I can test it and "debug" it if necessary. I would have done that the night I posted it, but it was late, I was tired, and I wanted to get the idea out there for you to consider.

germ Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 OK. The code is posted won't work. :blush: I made a minor change: <?php if ( $product_info['products_price'] >= 0.01 ) { ?> <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td> <?php } else { ?> <td class="main" align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $current_category_id ) .

germ Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I used .01 to avoid rounding errors. If for whatever reason the price stored in the DB (as a STRING not a floating point number) came out an was evaluated to something wierdly small like .000001 Maybe a rare event, but dealing with floating point numbers and equalities can be tricky. I've done it. That's why I chose >= .01 instead of >= 0 Use what you want. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

zonk675 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Germ...thanks for the replies and help. I went with the .01 like you recommended, but I've got an issue. It works if my products prices are set to $0 in the product page, but not if the product is on 'special' marked to $0. Meaning, it is $2.99 marked to Free ($0.00) on special. Also, I noticed that the 'add to cart button only disapears (replaced with the 'back' button) when on the product 'details' page. On any other pages (category list, etc.) the 'add to cart' button is still there. Is there a way to get all items, whether on special or not to work with this? ..and to get the 'add to cart button' to be replace with 'back' on all pages? Thanks again for the help :) *I also tried rvsupply's suggestion, but it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonk675 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hmmm...this didn't seem to work for me. Could it be that since I'm using a template it screwed it up? I'm guessing yes. My original code looks like this: case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE': $lc_align = 'right'; if (tep_not_null($listing['specials_new_products_price'])) { $p_price = $lc_text = '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($listing['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</s> <span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($listing['specials_new_products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>'; } else { $p_price = $lc_text = '<span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($listing['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>'; } and the second part that needed to be changed looks like this: case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW': $lc_align = 'center'; $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a>'; break; I only noticed that the "$p_price = " was different from your code, so I tried adding it (after trying your code plain first) and I got: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/freenewt/public_html/oscfree/includes/modules/product_listing.php on line 238 Any suggestions? *I really appreciate you taking time to help me with this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 It worked on my site. The only part I coudn't check was the "special" price (no specials now).

germ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK, so I put a product on "special" long enough to test my code and it works.
