hey

here's a few suggestions:
- show a Not For Sale text bellow/next to the price
- maybe allow showing instead a picture
- still show price, attributes and all the normal stuff
- just hide the cart to disable purchases.

actually, replace the add to cart form with HTML text or picture, like Out of Stock module does.

This module pretty much fulfils its purpose as I see it.

- show a Not For Sale text bellow/next to the price
- maybe allow showing instead a picture

I think any attempt to provide things like this would be too specific and serve no-one. Best to accomplish these things with theming specific to a site.

- still show price, attributes and all the normal stuff

What would be the point of showing the price and options if you can't buy it?

- just hide the cart to disable purchases.

Not sure what you mean by this.

the purpose would be, if the product is still to be shown, but not available for purchase, it could then show all it's information including price as before, but with a tag saying it's currently not for sale.

it's a bit overlapping with publish/unpublish, but there might be cases where one could be selling one product, but then due to some problem (like pending legislation, court issues, etc), you could be forced to stop selling it - while at the same time, still show to the public you have that product and it might return in the future, with the reference price.

this can't be replaced with an out of stock module due to the simple fact you could have stocks and don't want to zero them out on drupal to avoid having them stolen or lost in the warehouse.

showing the price as 0,00 only causes confusion. between showing as 0,00 or entirely removing it, you're better off removing it. but even better would be to still display the price (but hide the cart button).

It's a while since I worked on this module, so I don't remember exactly how it works :)

Would it be possible to add another price formatter / handler to the module, so you can choose either one to hide the price or one to show it?

Not something I have time to work on, but I'll consider a patch :)

Subscribing - just because a product may be temporarily unavailable for some reason doesn't mean that a viewer shouldn't know the price.

Posting this here in case it can help someone ... I am building out a store where some items are available for purchase via Ubercart, and other items are available for purchase only offsite, in which case I provide an offsite link for the user to follow. I use 'Not for sale' to remove the 'Add to Cart' button from these pages. Works great.

I don't want the price to be zeroed out for these items, so I simply disabled the 'Not for sale handler' on admin/store/settings/price-handlers. No unexpected results thus far.

Thanks to joachim for this module.

Subscribe. Hiding of the product's attributes should be an option.

Ok, making this active. But as I said above, I don't have much time to work on this module, so it's up to people who need this feature to step up and work together on a patch, which I can review and commit.

Well... in the meantime I've bypassed this and am using http://drupal.org/project/flag_classes to hide the "buy" button without hiding the price.

Just comment out the code that tells it to remove the price and set it to $0.00
Too me 3 seconds to find it.

Now my add to cart button is gone and it still shows the price.
Works for what I need.
