Feature Request: Disable AddToCart button for Combination Accessories

[BarryH]

Not sure if this is the place to post this but here's my observation...

 

Scenario:

 

Prestashop 1.6.0.9

 

- Add an accessory to primary product.

- (The accessory product should be a product with combinations.)

- View primary product page.

- Accessory product listing shows "Add to Cart" button.

- (Only able to add default product to cart.)

 

Add to Cart button for accessory products should be handled the same way as category pages that list products (option to disable Add to Cart button).

 

Regards,

Barry

Good call Barry

 

I suppose it will have to check if the accessory/product has attributes first,then if it has display choose options(or similar text)and if it has no attributes then display add to cart

 

I did try this in product.tpl

<div class="quick-view-wrapper-mobile">
<a rel="{$accessoryLink|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" href="{$accessoryLink|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="quick-view">
<span>Choose Options</span>
</a>
</div>

and it worked opening up the product in the quick view window so you could adjust attributes before adding to cart, but its only showing text at the moment and not a button

maybe an easy fix???

 

Not exactly sure how to phrase the IF statement yet though...

 

Anybody got a better way

 

This is similar to the same problem with products in the product-list, you can add to cart without choosing attributes too

I may have a VERY easy solution for this. Someone shared a tip with me and I'm trying it out. I'll let you know.

Do you think this could be incorporated into the product-list as well ?

I submitted this issue as a feature request in Bug Tracker. Florian provided the following work around to me. I've implemented it and, so far, it seems to be working excellently for me. Here's my description of his workaround:

 

product-list.tpl already uses the back office setting to disable the AddToCart button when a product has attributes:

 

- Preferences/Products/Display the "add to cart" button when a product has attributes

 

It's this feature that we can take advantage of to fix the accessories problem described above. We can replace the standard accessories handler code with the product-list handler.

 

(1) Find the location in product.tpl that is identified by "<!-- Accessories -->:

<!--Accessories -->
<section class="page-product-box">
<h3 class="page-product-heading">{l s='Accessories'}</h3>
 

(2) After the <h3> tags line, insert:

<!-- begin modification -->

{include file="./product-list.tpl" products=$accessories}
 

(3) Comment out the existing code from that point to just before the closing </section> tag:

{*
COMMENTED OUT STANDARD METHOD OF DISPLAYING ACCESSORIES
*}

<!-- end modification -->

</section>
<!--end Accessories -->
 

Voila! No more AddToCart button displayed for combination accessories!
