hide cart button only for certain categories

[gio-italy]

joomla 2.5.6
VM 2.0.10

Hello to everyone,
I read a lot of post on "hide cart argument" but I didn' found a solution.
I'd like hide cart button only for certain categories, I tried to modify default.php on productdetails folder in my template unsuccessfully...

Does someone need that too? Who can suggest me a solution or a right street?
Thanks

All the best to everybody

Hi gio-italy,

I tried to modify default.php on productdetails folder

hmmm... it's the correct file

"/components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php" @ line 199. Look for:

Code Select Expand



<?php
// Add To Cart Button
//  if (!empty($this->product->prices) and !empty($this->product->images[0]) and $this->product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable==0 ) {
if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0) and !empty($this->product->prices)) {
    echo $this->loadTemplate('addtocart');
}  // Add To Cart Button END
?>



Modify to this....

Code Select Expand



<?php
// Add To Cart Button
//  if (!empty($this->product->prices) and !empty($this->product->images[0]) and $this->product->images[0]->file_is_downloadable==0 ) {
if (!VmConfig::get('use_as_catalog', 0) and !empty($this->product->prices)) {
$excludeCategories = array(1,3);
if (!in_array($this->product->virtuemart_category_id, $excludeCategories )) {
echo $this->loadTemplate('addtocart');
}
}  // Add To Cart Button END
?>



Add the category IDs to this array that you want to EXCLUDE

$excludeCategories = array(1,3);

This should work.
