Excludes based on page

[DivebombInc 6]

Is there a way to exclude things like 'Add to Cart' buttons and price based on the page or product ID? I want to add a gallery of our work and exclude the add to cart and price.

Yes, that is possible but it would require adding code in several places. But if you just want a page to display images, using a product page isn't the best way to do it. There are addons for that purpose. You will need to find one that works with your version of oscommerce.

@Jack_mcs been looking all day and I haven't found one that works with Phoenix

[Jack_mcs 1,090]

There probably isn't one. Versions for Phoenix only get released if someone converts them. It is fairly common for popular and new addons. But for older ones that are not used by many sites, it probably won't happen unless someone is paid to convert it.

One of the supporters code @burt has released for Phoenix blocks out the buy button if the product is out of stock. I believe this can be used to achieve what you are after - with some modifications. Suggest you consider becoming a Phoenix Supporter and contacting Gary directly about this.

Why not just create a static page that includes all the images and text. Basic HTML will do that. Failing that look online for a php based image gallery and convert that to work with an oscommerce page.

I thought about this and could do this easily. I wanted continuity across the site though with all pages looking the same.

That would effect all pages, even those that I want cart buttons and prices on.

[hungryfrank 62]

the code is in. pi buy_button.php.  

 if ( $this->enabled ) {
       $this->group = 'pi_modules_' . strtolower(PI_BUY_GROUP);
around line 28

you can juste edit it or Make a duplicate module

Just add a condition if price = 999999, no show buy button. Will this do?

Take one of the 'static' pages, such as 'Terms and Conditions'. Copy and rename it (both the code and the language files). Replace everything between the opening and closing 'contentContainer' divs with your gallery code. Finally, add the link(s) to your gallery where ever you want them (navbar, footer, etc).

This is what I was getting at. Based on some condition just exclude the cart button and price. Or if someone bought it for 999999, I could just retire and not worry about any of this.

You can also use stock quantity (in-stock). That might be better from the customer's perspective.

Or set the price to zero and stock quantity to zero so customer can't checkout with the item (if you've disabled checking out with no stock in admin).

If you want a gallery, make a gallery. Just because you could alter osC to become a gallery (sort of), should you? Don't try to make osC be something that it isn't.
