Thanks Brian")* Hi, I think that the best way will be to edit the views "product / add_to_cart_listing" and "product / quantity". Then in these views do a check on the product category, if it is the special category so don't display the cart button and display a custom text instead thanks to: Code: echo JText::_('SPECIAL_PRODUCT'); Layout customisation: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ize-the-display.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html) Translation override: [ www.hikashop.com/support/faq.html#tran](http://www.hikashop.com/support/faq.html#tran) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NzUwODAtcHJvZHVjdC1pcy1ub3QtaW4tc3RvY2stYnV0LW9uLXNwZWNpYWwtb3JkZXI/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
