PHP Coding Help - please

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I had posted before but know what I need now. I want the product_info.php page to display itself in different ways depending on product viewed. eg....If on product A, B or C it would show Add to Cart button and if clicked on product 1,2 or 3 it would not have Add to Cart Button.

 

I have thought maybe and IF/OR statement would work - something like :

 

IF product X hide add to cart button

ELSE "carry on as usual" (hehe)

 

So, how do I add into the admin a radio button or the likes to say View/Hide add to cart button and how do I implement this into the page? Sorry, I can fumble my way thought PHP to manipulate it a bit, but this is beyond me :)

 

Would love some help. Maybe whoever does this could add it to contribs cause I am sure someone else will want it too!

 

Thanks muchly,

Denz

To me, this just BEGS the question: Why have something in the catalog no one can add to the cart??????

 

I thought the whole idea for an online store was to SELL products...

:huh:

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Jim, a scenario would be if you were selling an affiliate product that must be purchased on the affiliate's site.

 

For these cases, I remove the "add to cart" button and simply show the "buy now" button instead. This links to my affiliate so that I get the credit for the purchase.

Well.... That's where I was headed with my reply: The reason why?

 

Another reason might be if they were "freebies".

 

But exclusion on that basis would probably best be based on price rather than product ID.

 

Sometimes what people ask for isn't what they really need.
