Hide "Add to Cart" and disable "Buy Now" for manufacturer

[Menathor]

Hi all,

 

Figured out the solution to a problem I've been having for a while, so thought I'd share :)

 

Hope someone else finds it useful!

 

 

 

 

Hide Add to Cart and disable Buy Now for manufacturer v1.0 by Raj Siva-Rajah (Menathor)

***Based on Tim Elam (aka Bigredman74)'s Easy Call for Price***

 

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6340

 

 

DESCRIPTION: For a standard osCommerce 2.2 install. Allows you to hide "add to cart" and prevent "buy now" from adding to cart for products

under a chosen manufacturer.

 

REASON: There were products I wanted to display in my shop which aren't being sold in my shop - i.e. I wanted them in my catalogue as "ads" with links

in the product description to external purchase sites. Obviously, I needed to prevent the item from being added to the cart. I used Tim Elam's Easy

Call for Price (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3211) as a starting point and modified the code to use a chosen "manufacturers_id"

rather than price. I also changed the code so the "Buy Now" buttons weren't hidden, but rather took the user to the product description instead of

adding it to the basket.

Menathor thank you for your contribution.

I am looking for a variation on this.

I would like to hide the "Add to Cart" for non-logged in users.

I've looked at your code but I am not proficient in PHP.

I guess there is a variable to indicated where the user is logged in and I should test for that and hide the icon if not logged in.

Any help would be appreciated.

The test would be:

 

  if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
  //show cart
 }

Thanks Sam.

I added your suggestion around the line that displays the "Add to Cart" button in product_info.php but now it doesn't show at all. Logged in or not.

 

Here is what I did;

 

<!-- BEGIN Hide Add to Cart until logged in -->

<?php

if (tep_session_is_registered(customer.id)) {

?>

<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

}

?>

<!-- END Hide Add to Cart until logged in -->

Hi all,

 

Looking to use Menathor's contrib but hide the buttons based on catagory instead of manufacturer.

 

I think I need to change the line:

	      if ($product_info['manufacturers_id'] == 1){ 

 

to:

        if ($category[categories_name] == 'xxx') {  

where xxx would be the catagory name of the products people can't buy online.

 

Your feedback would be helpful.

 

Thanks, JR
