Remove Add To Cart In Catagory View

Joomla! 3.9.14

I know this was in the earlier versions, but I can't seem to find it,  also can't find it searching the forums..
I want customers to be forced to hit product details then have the ability to add to cart..

uncheck -> vm admin -> shopfront- > Show product customfields in browse views

[hotrod]

 Hum.. that didn't do it...

There is a way to do this in your over rides if you are able to edit the php file, it be in a path such as html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php

There is a part in products.php that shows the add to cart button for category view something like following...

<div class="vm-addtocart-button vm3pr-<?php echo $rowsHeight[$row]['customfields'] ?>">
                     <?php echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocartcats',array('product'=>$product,'rowHeights'=>$rowsHeight[$row])); ?>
                  </div>

@hotrod, GJC's solution seems not to work in current versions - and does require that you use custom fields for each product. The simplest way to remove addtocart from browse views is to edit and override components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php (assuming you don't already use overrides), as intimated by Phil.
Simply remove the following div:

Code Select Expand


<div class="vm3pr-<?php echo $rowsHeight[$row]['customfields'] ?>"> <?php
echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocart',array('product'=>$product,'rowHeights'=>$rowsHeight[$row], 'position' => array('ontop', 'addtocart'))); ?>
</div>


Save the edited file as  templates/[your Joomla template]/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php  so it does not get overwritten by subsequent VM updates

Thank You, That worked.
Just a little confused on where to put that file. I'm not showing those folders in my template file.

[jenkinhill]

I'm not showing those folders in my template file.

Then add them! Use FTP or cPanel to do that.

[hotrod]

That's what I was thinking, Its ok to leave the file in the folder it was? or just move it over to the new folder ..

[hotrod]

I answered my own question.  I renamed the old one and I'm assuming it's now pulling from the other location as a template override..

Thank You!!

You should NOT rename the old file, in some cases the extension checks if the original file exists and stops there if not found
Not sure about what VM does in this case. The normal order is check template, if there is an override use it, but as I said I have seen bad behaviour before. Simply leave the original in place and make a copy to override. This is normal Joomla behaviour.
