Product availabiity - order question

[cvrak]

Hi,
I have some sold out products, I want to be displayed in category view with prices (for the visitor to have an idea about all products) and I need that the customer cannot order it (by mistake). I've created a category "sold out" for these products.
How can I do it? Is it possible to de-activate order buttons just for the specific category?

Thanks

In VM back end configuration->shop front

You have settings for when a product is out of stock. Please check.

I set " Displays 'Notify Me' instead of 'Add To Cart' button " and with a display:none css rule I hide it.
Thanks a lot!

for mine, i set availability to "stock"

Then, hide the add to cart form

   $cart_template='addtocart';
      if (($hasChilds==1) OR (KaizenProduct::hasParent($this->product->virtuemart_product_id))){
      echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocartchilds',array('product'=>$this->product,'tall'=>$tall,'buy_split'=>$buy_split,'customs_count'=>$customs_count));
      
      }
      else{
      if ($this->product->product_availability!='stock'){
         echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout('addtocart',array('product'=>$this->product,'tall'=>$tall,'buy_split'=>$buy_split,'customs_count'=>$customs_count));
         }
