Is there a 'catalog' option in Admin? That is, an option that turns off selling so products can only be viewed, not bought. I found an option to hide prices, but haven't found anything that also disables the cart/basket.

No, not so far - you have to take out the "to cart" buttons manually from the templates.

Maybe you want to add a feature request to the OXID-uservoice?

Hi,

I think the option "not buyable if not on stock" shall do exactly what is wanted. But one had to set this option for each product item. Could be a pro, could be a con :-))

Thanks, that's a good work around that takes care of the "TO CART" button. I think with the following additional mods the shop will be in the desired catalog mode:

1. Either remove red out-of-stock-status from tpl (there's an option in Admin for this but it doesn't remove the red status, only the message) or change the message to something like "Available in-stores only"
2. Remove basket from header tpl

FYI

The "not buyable if not on stock" suggestion revealed what I think is a bug in the Azure template styling. Apparently the product drop-down menu (for compare, recommend, etc.) depends upon the style of the enclosing FORM tag. But when "not buyable if not on stock" is set, there is no longer a form so the formatting of the drop down screws up. A simple CSS change will fix this by adding the following entries (basically just copying the styles from the FORM tag to the .actionLinks class):

.actionLinks {margin: 0;}
.actionLinks li {list-style: none outside none; position: relative;}

I think this would apply to anybody who uses the "not buyable if not on stock" option on a product as it did the same thing for me on the demo for the latest version (4.5.7).

maybe you want to write this into the bugtracker?
