need a way to have a catagory available for phone order only
 

is there a way to have an entire catagory available for phone ordering only, thus also possibly not showing a buy now or add to cart or create a please call button.

This thread will show you the kind of statement to get stuff for just one category...

I will post you another thread I was just in that showed how to remove those buttons (we did it for items of 0 dollars ... this making them call for price ... so there was no need to do any category stuff, you could just set all items in that category to 0 dollars.

EDIT: here is the other thread with the call for price information: http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=18727

that all sounds good but I still want to show price for the products in the catagory

Re: need a way to have a catagory available for phone order only
 

Well I am sure you could put the "please call text instead of the add now/buy now" buttons.

That way you would have your price and the call info..

I just thought with those 2 threads you could pull something together :)

you can remove the buy now button from a category and replace it with please call.

***back up your product.tpl***


in product.tpl find this code.

<tr>
<td class="ProductPriceConverting" valign="top">{$lng.lbl_price}:</td>
<td valign="top">
{if $product.taxed_price ne 0 || $variant_price_no_empty}
<font><span id="product_price" style="white-space: nowrap;">{include file="currency.tpl" value=$product.taxed_price plain_text_message=true}</span></font><font class="MarketPrice"> <span id="product_alt_price" style="white-space: nowrap;">{include file="customer/main/alter_currency_value.tpl" alter_currency_value=$product.taxed_price plain_text_message=true}</span></font>
{if $product.taxes}<br />{include file="customer/main/taxed_price.tpl" taxes=$product.taxes}{/if}
{else}
<input type="text" size="7" name="price" />
{/if}
</td>
</tr>

replace it with this. make sure to change 249 to whatever you category number is.

{if $cat eq 249}
<tr>
<td>
Please call to order
</td>
</tr>
{else}
<tr>
<td class="ProductPriceConverting" valign="top">{$lng.lbl_price}:</td>
<td valign="top">
{if $product.taxed_price ne 0 || $variant_price_no_empty}
<font><span id="product_price" style="white-space: nowrap;">{include file="currency.tpl" value=$product.taxed_price plain_text_message=true}</span></font><font class="MarketPrice"> <span id="product_alt_price" style="white-space: nowrap;">{include file="customer/main/alter_currency_value.tpl" alter_currency_value=$product.taxed_price plain_text_message=true}</span></font>
{if $product.taxes}<br />{include file="customer/main/taxed_price.tpl" taxes=$product.taxes}{/if}
{else}
<input type="text" size="7" name="price" />
{/if}
</td>
</tr>
{/if}


are you using the add to cart button on the products page? (the page with multiple products.) because that will need to be changed also.

I just woke up from a nap excuse me.

Im sorry that is wrong. it removes the price not the buy now.

find this
{include file="buttons/add_to_cart.tpl" style="button" href="javascript: if(FormValidation()) document.orderform.submit();"}

and replace with this

{if $cat eq 249}
Pleae call to order
{else}
{include file="buttons/add_to_cart.tpl" style="button" href="javascript: if(FormValidation()) document.orderform.submit();"}
{/if}

Re: need a way to have a catagory available for phone order only
 

The script works good but can anyone help by telling me how to add the call to order to a group or multiple catagories, I want to put the ( Call To Order ) in the catagory and all sub catagories within it.

lets say a range like
{if $cat eq 250 to 275} just dont know how to right it.

Thanks
Chris
