No add to cart but contact us button

[rebecca3t]

Hi there,
we have some products that we'd like to include on our actinic site but these products are customised and they cannot be sold without the customers getting in touch with us first.an example is available at: http://www.hand-embroidery.co.uk/products/drum.htm

my question is can we remove the add to cart button and replace with something else on these products? i.e contact us for more info.
also can we have them within our main actnic shopping pages.

Hi Rebecca

These steps might help you achieve this :

1. Go to Design | Options | Layout

2. Click on Edit next to the Product Layout field. This will open the Act_ProductLine.html in Dreamweaver or a text editor.

3. Save this under a new name, for e.g Act_ProductLineCustom.html

4. Find the line NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON, and replace it with :
<!--NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON-->

5. In its place, insert an image for the Contact Us Button as :
<a href="mailto:sales@abc.com"><img src="ImageName"></a>

Clicking on this image will lead the customers to a New Message window on their default mail application.

To associate this template with the customisable products, click on the individual products and go to the Layout tab. Click on Select and then Browse and choose the newly created template.

If these products belong to one single section, you can globally assign the template to all the custom products, from the Product tab in the Section details window.

Hope this helps.

Depending on your setup there might be a quicker way of removing the add to cart button from individual products - in Actinic click on one of the products - look at the general tab on the right hand side - if you unflag "product can be bought online", and upload, this will probably remove the button for that product.
