Dashe Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 I would like to use OSC as a product catalog but dont want to allow sales via the site just yet, is it possible to disable the cart and just have it as an online brochure. I have looked but couldnt find anything to turn it off. Any help on this would be apriciated Dashe ** Should be disable in the topic, tried to edit but wouldnt allow me to **
B0s(0 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 you have to do it manualy delete the shopping cart php file and delete in ALL files the tabel witch the place for the products in the shopping cart ... then you have to delete all buttont links .. to add a product in the cart or the user will get the message that the shopping chart php was not found....
Guest Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 there is a contribution for disabling the cart, i think if you go to contributions and search on disable
Dashe Posted February 20, 2004 Author Posted February 20, 2004 Hi guys thanks for the reply. I dont think I am familure enough with OSC to start removing code here and there, no just yet :lol: I had a look through the contributions section and searched both that and the fourm and couldnt find where that was, any ideas on what section it might have been in. :blink:
Dashe Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 BUMP !!! Still am not able to find this add on, anyone know where it is?
Dashe Posted February 23, 2004 Author Posted February 23, 2004 Well I had another look around this place and cant find that contribution. Basicly all I want to do is display my Items as a catalog or up to date prices, but dont want to do any selling via the portal. Does anyone know of a protal that might allow this.
bloodshoteyes Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 If you dont want to sell anything just remove all the entries in admin/locations/countries and also zones. Frankly its easier to do it from the database
Guest Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 you wouldn't have to remove very much code, and it wouldn't be that hard. In fact, if you're planning on using it in the future to sell stuff, then you could just comment out bits of code by putting /* in front of the code you want to disable, and */ after it. Either that or just delete stuff - the choice is yours :) You'll need to edit catalog/includes/column_right.php and comment out the following code: require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'shopping_cart.php'); along with any other boxes you want to disable. (some are in column_left.php too) then in catalog/product_info.php comment out . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART) from the following bit <?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?></td><td><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?> the fullstop at the beginning is important, as is not getting the semicolon. you'll also want to make sure "Display Buy Now Column" is disabled in admin under configuration/product listing.
Dashe Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 Hi thanks for the reply, I done a fresh install and comented out what you suggested ans it apears to be working fine. Thanks very much for the reply. I am also going to coment out hte my account sutuff as there is no need for people to sign up, would this casue a problem.
ibandyop Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 You can also use a template system like STS and display only the content management tags and not the cart tags. Much easier and more control over the look and layout if your trying to replicate a CMS functionality. ibandyop
Dashe Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 Would you believe I had just put that on after my last post and am doing just that, thanks for the reply.
glasseye Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I am interested in this thread too - has anyone figured out a way of disabling the cart on products in certain categories - I am developing a store where some categories will not be sold directly by the site, but on amazon, whereas otheres will be sold using the default OSC cart facility. I did manage to find a contribution that disabled the cart based on manufacturers - is there an equivalent for categories?
suddsndudds Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I was also curious about disabling the cart. With doing what mistafeesh explained I was able to comment out the code in the columns. I was not able to cut the code in catalog/product_info.php The code in that area I had was <p><?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?></p><?php $products_attributes_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and patrib.options_id = popt.products_options_id and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'"); $products_attributes = tep_db_fetch_array($products_attributes_query); if ($products_attributes['total'] > 0) {?> I was curious if anyone else knew how to comment this out, and to comment out the images by the bottom right of the banner for the shopping cart. THANKS!
