Hello,
I recently set up a bunch of new products which have a variety of product options associated with them. In doing so, I set the product price for each new product to zero and the stock level to "By Options." My question is: Why do some of these new zero-priced products have an "Add to Cart Button" associated with them while others do not? I thought the "Add to Cart" Button only appeared when stock levels were greater than zero? Is there some way (perhaps using CSS) that the Add to Cart Button can be suppressed for all zero-priced products using product options? Thanks, Victa

Hi Victa
There were a couple of changes in this area recently so it's probably worth getting the latest updater and applying that if you haven't already done so...

Then if the problems don't clear up we can start digging.

Hi Vince,

I took your advice and applied the latest update to my site. However, that really didn't change anything.

Here's an example of what I'm referring to: http://www.oldtimecoins.com/products.asp?cat=193

Any help or explanation is appreciated.

Thanks, Victa

Hi Victa
I tried that URL but there doesn't appear to be any products in that category.

Hi Vince,
Can you try that URL again. I believe I had a Login Level associated with that category (which I have since removed).

Hi Victa
Still the same I'm afraid.

Hi Vince,
Sorry for the confusion, this URL should work. [url]http://www.oldtimecoins.com/products.asp?cat=72[/url]

Hi Victa
Could you send the site FTP login to my email at vince AT ecommercetemplates DOT com and I'll have a dig in to see what is happening.

Hi Victa
Can you have a look now and see if it's doing what you want? I have to admit at first I didn't get what you meant but all I've done is set the parameter "noproductoptions=TRUE" in your includes.asp file. This will add a "Configure" button to a product that has product options which are not displayed, and will take you to the detail page. For a product that doesn't have options you just get the regular "add to cart" button.

Hi Vince,
Thanks for the modification to my includes.asp file. Makes sense. However, since there already exists a link to the detail page via the product name hyperlinks, I was wondering if the "Configure" button could be removed entirely from the products page when a product has options that are not displayed.

Victa

Hi Victa
I think there is indeed a way. If you also add this to your site style sheet it should do the trick...

div.configbutton{
display:none;
}
