vidmarc Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Just a thought - that way, we could list upcoming items for which we do not have the full details, and adding to cart before we have set a price. This would then allow the product images to fit within the template grid, without having to resort to using a document set-up.

keat Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I assume you want to list a new product, but not allow anyone to purchase this item ? The way we would do this, would be add the product as usual, mark it with stock level and stock level warning as zero, and check 'use stock level' The description would say "Due in stock in May 2018" You could then utilise something like 'Popular Products' or 'Featured Products' to showcase said item.

vidmarc Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion. However, I'd still like to find a way of having these upcoming items listed on the home page, above the in-stock products, so that these images can take advantage of the home page grid layout, rather than having to use the document option which doesn't work well when the home page is re-sized.

keat Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'm not sure what skin or layout you use, but adding them as a product, but out of stock, and then adding them to the 'Latest Products' or 'Featured Products' would show them on the front page. Similar to my page where it says "Checkout these great products" https://www.beal.org.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Yes, but you can still click through to the product page. I would like a way of disabling the click-through for upcoming products, until the exact details (price etc) have been confirmed. Currently, the only way I can do this is with a document. https://nucleusfilms.com/ Edited April 20, 2018 by vidmarc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keat Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Now I understand. I'm not sure this is possible. However, I'm sure someone like Havenswift, Noodleman or Semperfi could write a mod. Another alternative maybe would be to grab the thumbnail image and code this in to your homepage via the editor, a little like my Euro flag or Facebook logo.

bsmither Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 This would need a small edit to the skin. There is a condition to test (something like {$AVAILABLE}) that, if true, only the picture can be shown. Currently, if it is something like false, that makes the button say "Unavailable", but everything else shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
