Ultim8pc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi there, I am currently setting up Cubecart for my store. The site sells motorcycles and parts. I want to be able to show the motorcycles I have for sale, but not allow someone to purchase via an 'add to basket' button (which shows if I set a stock level). Neither do I want to have an 'unavailable' button that is displayed if I set stock to zero. Ideally I'd like no button or one that says 'please contact us' and/or I can put a 'contact us' link in the product description. Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

bsmither Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) CubeCart has a "Catalog Mode". This shuts down the ability to actually purchase anything. (Admin, Store Settings, Features tab, "Disable Checkout") However, prices will still show, as will the flag "Not Available" if the item is out of stock and you disallow purchasing, but do not hide out of stock items. if you specifically set the product's Availability checkbox to off.

Ultim8pc Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi, Thanks for that reply. However, what I'm looking for is the the ability to sell some items and 'advertise' others.. (with a price and 'no add to cart' button). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Ok, as per an edit I just made above, do not use the Catalog Mode. Instead, for each product you do not want to actually be able to sell, there is a checkbox (default is checked) to enable its 'availability'. Uncheck this for each product. Next, you are wanting to change the "Unavailable" phrase that shows in this case. In admin, Languages, click the Edit button of the language you are using. From the drop-down, select "Common". On the list that soon appears, scroll to "unavailable" and change the phrase to "Call!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultim8pc Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 bsmither Thanks - that is exactly what I was looking for. I have implemented it and it works. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
