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 :-))
Regards
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:
- 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”
- 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 [I]adding[/I] 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?
Thx Marco! Was just about to enter into bug tracker but you beat me to it.
