remove buy now button for one category
 

We have a category of items that are too large for shipping and too costly for conventional payment methods (sell lab supplies)

We want to show these products on the site - but say "Call to Order" for these items.

I've looked for a way to turn off the Buy Now buttons in the admin - but the only thing I see is to not display the product at all.

I found this on the forum

But it doesn't seem to work for 4.5 (which the last post says but I tried it anyway)

thanks

Look at the $product array. Use webmaster mode. You should be able to divine the categoryid that you need to use and access it from the $product array. Try surrounding the button with an if statement,
if $categoryid = 123
Don't show
else
show

Takes on a different approach by adding a custom variable to product - but can achieve the same result.
