Remove Add to Cart from Specific Categories

How do i remove the add to cart button and quantity field from a specific category. I have read through other user's posts in the Forum, but the solutions do not seem to work. I've tried setting up a content module to override the defaults, but it still does not remove the add to cart button and quantity field from the product detail page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I had a quick question on Canonical URL's. If i set a canonical url, all variations (alternate urls that point to the same product) will become consolidated into the canonical? I'm using sh404SEF and there is an option for canonical urls in the alias manager. Just don't want a billion 404's pop up if i change a product to a new category.

Thanks for you time.

Hi,

To remove the add to cart button and quantity field on the product page for products in a specific category it will require view override.
The view to edit is "product / show_default" and you can replace the code:

		<div id="hikashop_product_quantity_main" class="hikashop_product_quantity_main">
			<?php
			//LAYOUT quantity
			$this->row = & $this->element;
			$this->ajax = 'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'item\',\'hikashop_product_form\')){ return hikashopModifyQuantity(\'' . $this->row->product_id . '\',field,1' . $form . ',\'cart\'); } else { return false; }';
			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();
			?>
		</div>

<?php if(!in_array($this->element->product_category_id,array('XX','YY'))){ ?>
		<div id="hikashop_product_quantity_main" class="hikashop_product_quantity_main">
			<?php
			//LAYOUT quantity
			$this->row = & $this->element;
			$this->ajax = 'if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'item\',\'hikashop_product_form\')){ return hikashopModifyQuantity(\'' . $this->row->product_id . '\',field,1' . $form . ',\'cart\'); } else { return false; }';
			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();
			?>
		</div>
<?php } ?>

I cannot find "hikashop_product_quantity_main" in the product/show_default view? Is this the correct view to edit that block of code?

Hi,

Yes it is
You potentially have a view override on the show_default view. So please search for the code:

			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();

if(!in_array($this->element->product_category_id,array('XX','YY'))){
			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();
}

I cannot even find 'quantity' in the show_default view. Is it possible it is being overwritten from somewhere else?

UPDATE: I found the first blcck of code you mentioned, in an older version of hikashop (2.1.3). However, it does not exist in this location for the latest version of hikashop. Did the location change?

Hi,

You potentially have an override on the view "product / show_default", please make a backup of this view and then remove it to use our default view. The quantity block must be present, else you should not have any add to cart button on the product detail page.

Hi Xavier,

We need definitely an INVERS solution; No categories to show cart, except only one or two.
Can you support us with some code for that?
We run Hikashop professional now in catalogue mode only.

You should be able to do the same thing except change the if statement:

if(in_array($this->element->product_category_id,array('XX','YY'))){
			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();
}

Hi,

The code is almost correct, except 'category_id' should be used, instead:

if(in_array($this->element->category_id,array('XX','YY'))){
			$this->setLayout('quantity');
			echo $this->loadTemplate();
}

It seems, the smaller category_id is used at the check, not the first given in the product's details.

Is there an array called 'categories'?
