Hi, Is it possible to use ubercart as a product catalog with no "add to cart" button? Just list the products with subcategories, etc just like an ecommerce store but no purchase option. Or is there another module that would allow that but also provide an option to switch on the ecommerce part.

Thanks,
Josh

Any suggestions? Kind of like SOPAC module, but not connected to an actual library catalog

What about our old friend css? Try:

.add-to-cart .button-wrapper {
display:none;
}

Thats a good idea, which css file is that located in? I tied doing that for one, but had no affect. I do see the button is in that div tag.

Thanks,
Josh

Usually the current theme's styles.css is sufficient. You can find which file it is in now by using Firefox and Firebug, a great tool for inspecting the CSS.

Why not just use Views? That's all Ubercart is doing. If you don't need the eCommerce part, you don't need Ubercart.

What is Ubercart doing? It creates a taxonomy, and then simply provides a 'catalog' view of your product taxonomy. No special sauce used at all. Since you already have Ubercart, just export their catalog View and disable Ubercart...

You definitely want to do this using Views...

Views is a great suggestion too. You would use Ubercart if you had it looking exactly like you wanted already, but wanted to just hide that button. OR if you wanted to have the ability to add shopping features later. OR if you wanted to use some of the built-in features like Ubercart "option images." So if you had a blue widget and a green and red one, you could easily switch them.

Although ALL of these things CAN be done with Views, maybe you already have what you want with ubercart. If you just want a gallery with some text, then I think watching some tutorials on CCK and Views would be a big benefit.

Maybe just disable the add to cart option under product fields -> admin/store/settings/products/edit/fields?

Fast way of doing this for those searching - use this module and configure the URL path accordingly - ie only show this block under store/*.

how can we then have the button dynamically. means if product price is 0 we take customer to other site link which is stored in other attribute, else we show add to cart button for products that have price.
alternatively if product has external affiliate url we use that. else we show add to cart button.

Hi Trupal,

I am currently facing the same issue as you have got two years ago. Just wonder have you solved the problem? Thanks.
