I have been working with Shopsite Pro 8.3 for 2 months now trying to setup my website www.911policegear.com. I have each product setup to show ordering options. It shows on both the More Info Page (which is what I want) but it also shows up on the page the product is displayed on. How can I change this? Im using the text 3 on left side template for the product page and the awesome blue layout for more info pages.

Is there a template that will display add to cart on the product page without the ordering options?

Is there a template that wont display any ordering options or add to cart and the customer could just click on the link for more info?

If neither are available is there a simple way to modify the text 3 on left side template to remove the ordering options feature?

Any help would gladly be appreciated!!!

It should be easy enough to remove the Product Ordering options from the template code.

I don't seem to have that template, though. If you could copy the template (most likely the PRODUCT template, though perhaps also the PAGE template), I could look.

I created a custom product template to do just that. Then assign each product to use that template. My custom template, in the [-- DEFINE PRODUCT --] section, just displays the image (a thumbnail), the name, and the price. The image and the name are links to the more info page, where the user can select color, size, qty, and add to cart. Below is my code for the define product area. I'm still new at this, but it seems to work fine. This isn't the whole product template - the more info section etc is in there too.

[-- DEFINE PRODUCT --]

# Item Thumbnail Image (link to more info)

<a href="[-- PRODUCT.MoreInfoURL --]">
<img src="media/[-- IMAGE PRODUCT.Graphic --]" border="0" alt="Click for more information">
</a>
<br>

# Item Name (link to more info)

<a href="[-- PRODUCT.MoreInfoURL --]">
[-- PRODUCT.Name --]
</a>
<br>

# Item Price

# define a VAR to track if a product is on sale
[-- VAR.SaleOn "no" --]

# if product is on sale and there is a sale price, set VAR
[-- IF PRODUCT.SaleOn--]
[-- IF PRODUCT.SaleAmount --]
[-- VAR.SaleOn "yes" --]
[-- Else --]
[-- VAR.SaleOn "no" --]
[-- END_IF --]
[-- END_IF --]

[-- IF PRODUCT.DisplayPrice --]

[-- IF VAR.SaleOn "yes" --]
<strike>[-- PRODUCT.Price --]</strike>
[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --][-- PRODUCT.SaleAmount --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --]

[-- ELSE --]
# product is not on sale
[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --][-- PRODUCT.Price --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --]
[-- END_IF --]
[-- END_IF --]

<br><br>

[-- END_DEFINE PRODUCT --]

after much playing around till the wee hours of the morning I finally figured out how to set it up, thanks to carol for your template it gave me the information I needed to edit the current template I have and remove the ordering options from the main product screen. Although trying to get the text size and font to display correctly without hardcoding it in to the template was impossible. If anyone needs to do this please contact me and I will send you the template I use. Thanks everyone for their help!

I'm glad that helped. I use my own css file for the font. In your template that you're using for the page (not the product template, but the one that has the [-- LOOP PRODUCTS --], you can put [-- INCLUDE stylesheet.css --] in the html between the <head> and </head> tags. The stylesheet.css has my own styles, I copied it up as an include file. I have a lot of stuff in there, but here is a simple example of something that goes in there, setting the default font for the body of the html page...

body
{
color: black;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

I should clarify that some of the merchant controlled settings in the product layout are also affecting my pages. Simply because I haven't taken the time to go dig all those out and the result right now I can live with. For instance, it's set up to bold or not bold the price, etc, in your product settings.
