option: add to cart or contact button

[mgulyaev]

hello everyone,

I'm trying to find a solution for selling two types of products, one with "add to cart" and second with "contact button" in the place of "add to cart".
Does anyone have any ideas how to do it?

[rocky]

There are a couple of ways you could do this. If you don't have any free products on your site, you could set the price of the products you want to be "Contact us" to $0, otherwise you could put it in another product field like the "location" field. You can then change line 304 of product.tpl from:

quantity == 0} style="display:none;"{/if} id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}" class="exclusive" /></p>

to:

quantity == 0} style="display:none;"{/if} id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block">{if $product->getPrice(true, $smarty.const.NULL, 2, $smarty.const.NULL, true) == 0}
<a href="{$base_dir_ssl}contact-form.php" class="exclusive">{l s='Contact us'}{else}<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}" class="exclusive" />{/if}

This code should display a "Contact us" button when the price is 0. If you need free products, you could instead enter something in the product's location field if you aren't already using it and use {$product->location} to check value of it.

thank you rocky for the reply.

Ok, using PrestaShop 1.3.1 I went to theme/prestashop/product.ptl

And on line 283 is the code:

quantity == 0} style="display:none;"{/if} id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}" class="exclusive" /></p>

after replacing it with:

quantity == 0} style="display:none;"{/if} id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block">{if $product->getPrice(true, $smarty.const.NULL, 2, $smarty.const.NULL, true) == 0}
{l s='Contact us'}{else}<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="{l s='Add to cart'}{/if}" class="exclusive" />{/if}

setting price to $0.00 didn't change "add to cart" to "contact us" it still shows $0.00 price and when going to the product page it doesn't show the product.

[mgulyaev]

Can anyone help with this, please. How to display "contact us" instead of "add to cart" button on some products?

[rocky]

I accidentally had an extra {/if} in my code above. I've now removed it and tested my code and it works fine. A green "Contact us" button is displayed on the product page that links to the contact form. You'll need to make a similar change to product-list.tpl and modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl.

Hi. I made this modification exactly like described in the last post on prestashop 1.3.1 but now all product pages (even products with stock) show the "Contact us" button!

Any clues?

Thanks in advance

Hi
Thank you for replying. If I make changes to .tpl files once uploaded to the site do I need to run any commands/scripts for the changes to take effect?

[rocky]

No. If you have "force_compile" set to true (like in the default PrestaShop install), then the template should be automatically recompiled after you upload the updated file.

[TassaDarK]

rocky what about my problem? It's possible i made something wrong? Or this modification is not compatible with prestashop 1.3.1?

I think i followed the exact steps as you say but all the products shows the "contact us" button even not-free products.

Thanks in advance

A green "Contact Us" appears on the product page that links to the contact form. Have to make a similar change in the modules of the product, list.tpl/ homefeatured / homefeatured.tpl. These is one of the great facility to do these.

[rocky]

I just tested this code once again on my PrestaShop v1.3.1 shop and it is working fine. On the product page, the button says "Contact Us" on my test product with a price of $0 and "Add to cart" on all products with a price greater than $0. Of course, the buttons are all "Add to cart" on the product listings and other pages. I don't understand why it wouldn't work for you.

[TassaDarK]

I don't understand either. In my product list, every product has the "contact us" green button even the prices > 0

I will research it again but i'm pretty sure i did it right :-(

[rocky]

I haven't tested the code in product-list.tpl, only in product.tpl. The product listing has the products as arrays instead of objects like in product.tpl, so the same code won't work in product-list.tpl.

Try changing line 22 of product-list.tpl in your theme's directory (in PrestaShop v1.3.1) from:

<a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button exclusive" rel="ajax_id_product_{$product.id_product|intval}" href="{$base_dir}cart.php?add&id_product={$product.id_product|intval}&token={$static_token}" title="{l s='Add to cart'}">{l s='Add to cart'}

to:

{if $product.price == 0}<a href="{$base_dir}contact-form.php" class="exclusive">{l s='Contact us'}{else}<a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button exclusive" rel="ajax_id_product_{$product.id_product|intval}" href="{$base_dir}cart.php?add&id_product={$product.id_product|intval}&token={$static_token}" title="{l s='Add to cart'}">{l s='Add to cart'}{/if}

To do the same with featured products, you'll need to edit line 21 of modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl (in PrestaShop v1.3.1):

<a class="exclusive ajax_add_to_cart_button" rel="ajax_id_product_{$product.id_product}" href="{$base_dir}cart.php?qty=1&id_product={$product.id_product}&token={$static_token}&add" title="{l s='Add to cart' mod='homefeatured'}">{l s='Add to cart' mod='homefeatured'}

and change it to:

{if $product.price == 0}<a href="{$base_dir}contact-form.php" class="exclusive">{l s='Contact us' mod='homefeatured'}{else}<a class="exclusive ajax_add_to_cart_button" rel="ajax_id_product_{$product.id_product}" href="{$base_dir}cart.php?qty=1&id_product={$product.id_product}&token={$static_token}&add" title="{l s='Add to cart' mod='homefeatured'}">{l s='Add to cart' mod='homefeatured'}{/if}

I don't understand either. In my product list, every product has the "contact us" green button even the prices > 0

I will research it again but i'm pretty sure i did it right :-(

Sorry, I mean in the "product page" not the product-list.tpl

I have deleted the "add cart button" in my product list and homefeatured so the problems i have are only with the product page.


Right now the thing is if i use your code using the $product-getprice variable i get a 'Contact us' button for ALL products even the prices > 0. But if i use the $product->location variable instead all works perfectly so i leave it like that 'cause this is even better solution for me than using the prices. Thank you very much and sorry for the bother.

By the way rocky, i see you are something like a god-code of prestashop. I have this problem for weeks and didn't find anybody who can help me, can you take a look on it please? I would be VERY grateful. Thanks!

[jkmagic]

Rocky if you are seeing this……….If any other can help…..!

Another problem came over.

But when i put the code in the product-list.tpl it doesnt see the referance.How to put it to see it?

Thanks

[rocky]

Use the following instead:

{$product.location}

Hi Rocky,

your instructions are perfect for me, but there is a problem with the PACKS, in the individual items there is no problem, but in the items that are a PACK in the homepage the button is right "add to cart", but when you click to view the item...then the button change to "contact us"!.
Please could you tell me where is the bug or problem? I check this with the prestashop v.1.2.5 and with the v.1.2.3 and the problem is the same.
Thank you very much.

[rocky]

I'm not sure exactly. I can't find any "Add to cart" button on the pack feature. I suggest that you search your code for any other instances of "Add to cart" and make the same "Contact us" change to that code.

[chemaquina]

Thank you rocky, but I can not fix it, works perfect except in the pack which are composed of several items in the store. I do not know much programming and I'm lost. If anyone can simulate this and create an item that is made up of several of the store (pack), perhaps could help me. I searched for other solutions to clear the button "add to cart" items or gifts with a value of 0 euros and this is the best, but it only fails the Pack. Thank you again.

[rocky]

I've had another look, but I can't figure out why you are having a problem. I created a pack in my PrestaShop v1.3.1 installation. It seems it calls product-list.tpl to create a list of the products in the pack at the bottom of the product page. If you change product-list.tpl like in my code above, then the button should be the same on both the product listings and pack listings.

[chemaquina]

I repeated the process again, I created a new Pack, and still have the same problem. rocky this issue is very important to me, I have several gifts listed in the store and the customers can freely add to cart, I'm going crazy. The problem is only with the packs, on the main page are good, but when you see the article, see the 'contact us' rather than the 'add to cart' How I can fix it?. My prestashop version is 1.2.3. thanks

[rocky]

Can you post a link to your site so I can see the problem?

[chemaquina]

I solved the problem with the creators of the 'gift on order' module to avoid receiving the gifts, it was really a stupid, thanks for everything.

[migui]

Thanks a lot!!! after various hours it works!!!
(sorry for my bad english)
Now one more question, we have to put price 0 to activate that button, but is there any way to not display the price 0 in the shop? I mean the client will see the product without any price (but still 0 in the back office)

Best regards,
And thanks a lot!
