Order functionality for items - no shopping?

[stef83]

Dear Virtuemart users,

I would like to know if it is possible that I only use the shopping cart functionality as a sort of "order cart", without payment etc?!
The visitor should be able to add each K2 item (herefore I would use K2Mart) into the order cart + send this request (with item quantities) to our marketing department, which checks everything + forwards the order to the distributor of the specific country the visitor comes from. The last steps are only manually, so this does not have to be a K2mart/Virtuemart option.
I only need the "pack into order cart" + "mail" option :-)
Is this possible?
I am using Joomla 1.5.26 and would use the latest virtuemart release available.

Greetings,
Steffi

Yes, it`s possible!

I`ve been using it since VM1.98 (about one year ago) for non-profit charity warehouse (clothing, toys, gifts etc. for homeless and children without parents). Volunteers place their orders. They use shipping address as 'where I`m going to donate'. Store-keeper ships orders from the warehouse and tracks the stocks.

Everyone is happy! 

The only note: I had to comment a lot of lines of code to hide prices (templates of products list, product details, orders list, order details, notifications, emails etc.).

Hi,

hey that sounds great
I would like to rename a lot of things as well, so that "buy now" is called "order now" etc. - I think this will be a lot of work.
Would it be possible that you provide the changed files, maybe even for money?
Thanks,
Steffi

so that "buy now" is called "order now"

Yes, I changed it with "take away!"

My work on that online warehouse was for free (for charity) and I`m not feel right taking money for it. A lot of files were hacked and tweaked to add more special functionality, so it just will not work for you 

But here is a list of main files to be changed (templates overriding):

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ cart \ default_pricelist.php
Price-list. Hide all about costs, taxes, coupons, shipment etc,

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ cart \ order_done.php
Order-done page. Leave only the title. Hide all about "Payment method ...", "Order number ...", "Amount ...".

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ category \ default.php
Category view. Completely rewritten (show only names, quantities etc.) as a table.

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ invoice \ mail_html_pricelist.php
Price-list for email to customer (when the order is done). Rewrite it.

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ invoice \ mail_html_shopper.php
Title for email to customer (when the order is done). Hide unnecessary.

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ orders \ details.php
Order details. Hide unnecessary.

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ productdetails \ default.php
Product details. Completely rewritten.

... \ html \ com_virtuemart \ user \ edit_orderlist.php
Order list (in Profile). Hide unnecessary.

... \ html \ mod_virtuemart_cart \ default.php
Cart module. Hide prices and total cost.
