Hello All,
I’m trying to “rebuilt” the Oxid Shop into a “Brokers Homepage” so I don’t need the “basket and shopping” functions.
Would it be possible to disable all shopping functions or will this be too complicated?
Might sound silly setting up a shop without shopping functions but I like the looks and admin functions from the Oxid shop that’s why I’m willing to give it a try!
Regards
not a problem - just take out all links and buttons which lead “to cart”
I assume, you want to use the shop as a kind of CMS?
But keep in mind, there is very limited functionality for layout things, which are often needed for presenting a bunch of information.
Thanks Ray,
Yes, a kind of CMS.
With just taking out the links which lead to “cart” you mean deleting all the “basket” texts in the lang.php or… and?
Sorry, just a newbie :)

No - there is no need to change anything in the language files.
You need to work directly in the template files and delete every link by hand.
Wouldn´t it be much easier to use something like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Typo3?
Thanks again,
As I said I’m just a newbie, don’t know the other programs but willing to learn!
So, you think it would be easier using another program?
In all of the template files I’ve to look if I find a link to “cart” and just delete them?
I wil give it a try, if it’s not too complicated and see if it works.
Thanks and regards!
my idea is just - why using a shop when no cart is needed and only basic layout functions are available instead of using a real CMS-system?
There are plenty open source, free or low cost cms-systems - give it a try! Believe me, it is better to use a real cms when providing content.
The point is that I want to use most of the functions from the Oxid shop like the search engine, categories, etc. A few of my friends who are brokers asked me to look for an easy piece of software that they could use to easely put in new objects.
So I thought simpel, why not use Oxid and disable all shopping functions and they have all they need!
A database and search engine and an easy way to upload their new objects to the categorie they want.
I started setting up a test site: immo4u.shop.co
I only want the cart links disabled and then the rest looks fine, clean and simple to handle!
Please give me your opinion? Thanks again!
ok - got you now, you are using oxid for real estate offers!
Then I think it is a good choice to use the shop except of the cart function.
