I have a client that is selling some big items and would rather have customers call to order out of a specific category.
In other words, when a customer is browsing this specific category, instead of a price or an "Add to Cart" button, there's a link that says "Call to order"
Any ideas on how I could do this?
I have some ideas to point you in a direction at least... I've only started working with the code this weekend, but it's pretty straight forward.
You'll want to do a check for if browsing a specific category, then write an if / else to change the button. Depending on whether you have a button image, or if you are still using the TXT variables.
If using the TXT variables with a background images, then you'll want to go to the languages first and define a new variable to use that says "Call to Order".
Then, you'll write you're if to choose between something like
<input type="submit" value="<?php echo TXT_WPSC_ADDTOCART; ?>" name="Buy" class="wpsc_buy_button" id="product_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>_submit_button"/>
-OR-
<input type="submit" value="<?php echo TXT_WPSC_CALLTOORDER; ?>" name="Buy" class="wpsc_buy_button" id="product_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>_submit_button"/>
Your If / Else will be something like:
<?php if(wpsc_is_in_category('10')) : ?>
And I think you'll have to do this in both the products_page.php and the single_product.php.
Hopefully that gets you started.
Hi bghouse,
Are you able to explain in more detail how to do this. PHP code is not my strong point.
This is what i'm need to do.
Thanks
Hi,
I got a friend of a friend to code this up so below is the code. I works for me so thought you may want it. It's not these same as what you are looking for but if any price on your site is 0.00 it will display the 'Call for Price'.

What i did was replaced this code with the below code in both the grid_view.php and the single_product.php in the theme i was using. These files were replaced on the sever in the /wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/ (your themes folder)
<span id="product_price_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>" <span class="price_display"><?php echo wpsc_the_product_price(); ?></span>
New code
<?php if(preg_match('/[^0-9](0.00)$/', wpsc_product_normal_price())): ?>
<span class="special">Call for price</span>
<?php else: ?>
<span class="price_display"><?php echo wpsc_product_normal_price() ?></span>
<?php endif ?>
Just wanted to say thanks too - I had some events which were free and this solved an aesthetic headache
