Hi, I'm looking to make two versions of a site for a manufacturer. A product-based site that does not show a "Buy" button or have the functionality of purchasing (simply to showcase products as a manufacturer), then a similar e-commerce site that people can purchase from. The sites can be completely independent of each other, they don't need to share products or anything like that.
My big problem is (and please take it easy on me, I'm a beginner at best), I don't know how to achieve the "shopping cart" look without actually having a price field or buy button. I'm not good with views, so unless there's some sort of template I can download and implement I don't know how well that will work for me.
Anyway, any help you can provide is much appreciated. If i've not gone into enough detail (i'm sure i probably haven't), just let me know what other info you need...
Thanks!

It sounds like you're
It sounds like you're basically looking for pages that would have an image, item title, description of the item, possibly the item dimensions, materials, etc? To do this you'll want to look into the CCK module which allows you to create a custom content type (ie. a "product" type) with fields you create. Look into modules like ImageField to see about having product images and maybe even a little gallery for each product.
Does this start to address your concerns? Just as a thought, you may even want to look into the various shopping cart modules and see if they offer most of your functionality. I've never tried one so I'm not familiar with how they work. But if they do what you want, then it's just a matter of making a few modifications to hide/disable to buy buttons.
