Can badges appear on items in product listings?

Hi -

I've created an unpublished category to allow a 'SOLD' badge to be added to a product image after the product has been purchased, so that the item can remain on display for a while. The 'SOLD' badge appears on the product page as expected, but not on the entry in the product listing - is this because the original category/product entry, without the badge overlaid, takes precedence?

Is that correct, or am I doing something wrong? The 'SOLD' items are still also included in their original categories. Is it possible for the badge appear on the item in the original product listing as well as on the product page?

And once a product has been placed in the 'SOLD' category, is it possible to hide the 'Add to Cart' button on the product page, or disable it with a warning message?

Thanks.

Hi,

The badges should be displayed in the sold category and in their original category. Do you have the latest version of hikaShop ?

To hide the 'Add to Cart' button you can edit the view "product / show_default" and add a check on the product categories, if the product is in the sold category then hide the add to cart button.

You can find other topics talking about that in this forum.

Hi -

No, the 'SOLD' badge only appears on the product page and not on the listing. I have just downloaded and re-installed HikaShop to ensure I have the latest version but it has made no difference. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you give us a screenshot of your badge configuration and you product configuration ?
I tried to reproduce the same error on my end, but it's working fine for me.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I still cannot get the 'SOLD' badge to appear on the product listing - below are screenshots of the configuration of the badge item and the product page and product listing. I have created a 'SOLD' category to which sold products are added

I've worked through all the 'view' files that I've modified and updated them. Since updating the views 'product / listing_img_title.php' and 'product / listing_price.php' and then putting back my revisions, the badge displays as expected on both listing and item page.

To hide the 'Add to Cart' button you can edit the view "product / show_default" and add a check on the product categories, if the product is in the sold category then hide the add to cart button.

OK, I think I've found a post here which details what I want to do, ie. hide the 'Add to cart' button when an item has been sold.

At the moment, the Sold Item category is just a product list whic has no menu item or module because it doesn't display in its own right, simply adds the 'SOLD' badge to items which are added to that category as well as their original category. Once an item is included in the 'Sold Item' category, I want the 'Add to cart' button to be hidden so that items cannot be sold again.

The linked post suggests that the button should be enabled on the front end default configuration, and then disabled on the module linked to the category of the sold item - should I set up a module for the 'Sold items' category, just to hide the 'Add to' button, or is there a simpler way?

Thanks.

Hi,

Your case is different, because you want to hide the add to cart button only on some products in the listing.
You have to edit the view "product / listing_img_title" (or another one depending on your configuration) and add a check aroud the "add to cart" button part to hide it if the product is in the category with the id ...

Try to replace:

<!-- ADD TO CART BUTTON AREA -->
<?php
if($this->params->get('add_to_cart') || $this->params->get('add_to_wishlist')){
	$this->setLayout('add_to_cart_listing');
	echo $this->loadTemplate();
}?>
<!-- EO ADD TO CART BUTTON AREA -->

<!-- ADD TO CART BUTTON AREA -->
<?php
$productClass = hikashop_get('class.product');
$categories = $productClass->getCategories($this->row->product_id);
$hide = 0;
foreach($categories as $category){
	if($category == '13') $hide = 1;
}
if(($this->params->get('add_to_cart') || $this->params->get('add_to_wishlist')) && $hide == 0){
	$this->setLayout('add_to_cart_listing');
	echo $this->loadTemplate();
}?>
<!-- EO ADD TO CART BUTTON AREA -->

Thanks for that, Xavier, the additional code works but only hides the button in the product listing. The 'Add to cart' button still displays on the product page. Do I need to apply the same code to a different view to change the product page?

Thanks for your help.

Yes you have to edit the view "product / show_default" to hide the add to cart button in the product page.

Thank you Xavier!

I've substituted the code you gave above for the existing 'Add to cart' section in "product / show_default" and it works perfectly. Thanks again.
