listing a product in catalog that is NOT sold online

I have a PowerStore 4.0 website and wish to include a product that CANNOT be ordered online, but should be displayed in the end-user Product menus. The merchant has a product that is custom manufactured and installed based on client specifications. They want to include this as a "catalog" item on their online store, but have it such that the ordering has to be done by consultation, not through direct store orders.

Is it possible to have a product in the catalog that is not purchasable through the online store?

Yes, set the available online option to yes, so it will be displayed in the catalog, but set the quantity to 0 so that it will display as out of stock

thank you

Thanks Jason!

I took your suggestion one step further and included IF/ELSE in the PHP so that if the price was "0.00" then the 'price' displayed is "Call for Details!"

In .\webassist\plugins\catalog\details.php at line 60 changed/added the code to:

<?php
if($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"] == "0.00") {
echo 'Call for Pricing!';
} else {
echo 'Price: ';
echo '$' . number_format($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"], 2);
}
?>

Then in .\webassist\plugins\catalog\basic\results.php at line 225:

if ($ProductPrice == "0.00") {
echo "Call for Pricing!";
} else {
echo '$' . number_format($ProductPrice,2);
}

Works great!

How would you also get this to show Call for pricing! in the product results page as well as the details page.
Thanks

Rob Emenecker gave instructions for both the results:

  Then in .\webassist\plugins\catalog\basic\results.php at line 225:

if ($ProductPrice == "0.00") {
echo "Call for Pricing!";
} else {
echo '$' . number_format($ProductPrice,2);
}  



and details:

  In .\webassist\plugins\catalog\details.php at line 60 changed/added the code to:

<?php
if($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"] == "0.00") {
echo 'Call for Pricing!';
} else {
echo 'Price: ';
echo '$' . number_format($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"], 2);
}
?>

I have made both those changes.
That only changes it in the product details and doesn't seem to change it in the list or in the Feature box or most popular box if they show up there - still shows $0.00

try changing the webassist\plugins\catalog\results.php and results.grid page as well.

for the featured box and popular box, you will need to edit the webassist\plugins\catalog\featuredbox.php and webassist\plugins\catalog\popularbox.php files.

"Call for Pricing"

Hello Jason

For the above changes to the code can you specifically show me how to apply those changes to each section of code in each of the files you listed

When I look at the lines 60 and 225, I am not exactly clear how to paste in or change the code.

If you remember, I'm a amateur and need some help sir.

I would appreciate your assistance, and this would not be rush reply.

in the webassist\plugins\catalog\details.php, the code at line 60 is:

php:
<span id="WADAPageTitle"><?php echo str_replace("|","<br />",$row_WADAProducts["ProductName"]); ?></span>



change that to:

php:
<span id="WADAPageTitle"><?php echo str_replace("|","<br />",$row_WADAProducts["ProductName"]); ?></span>

<?php
if($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"] == "0.00") {
echo 
'Call for Pricing!';
} else {
echo 
'Price: ';
echo 
'$' number_format($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"], 2);
}
?>



same idea on the \webassist\plugins\catalog\basic\results.php page. the code at line 225 is:

php:
<a href="../../../products_detail.php?ProductID=<?php echo(rawurlencode($ProductID)); ?>"><h2><?php echo str_replace("|","<BR>",$ProductName); ?></h2></a>



php:
<a href="../../../products_detail.php?ProductID=<?php echo(rawurlencode($ProductID)); ?>"><h2><?php echo str_replace("|","<BR>",$ProductName); ?></h2></a>

<?php
if($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"] == "0.00") {
echo 
'Call for Pricing!';
} else {
echo 
'Price: ';
echo 
'$' number_format($row_WADAProducts["ProductPrice"], 2);
}
?>
