Hello,

I have done many searches but was not able to find enough information.

Is it possible to use just the Ubercart catalog system without any of the shopping cart functionality, or any pricing?

I need to build a website to display a catalog of products, but I don't want to show any pricing or allow any shopping of the products. This will be just a catalog and nothing else.

I have downloaded ubercart, installed just the catalog module (and the additional modules on which it depends), and it all looks great. But I still don't know how to remove the price on the product pages (I don't want to use CSS visibility setting as I believe it's not a good idea to control this through CSS) and also remove the 'add to cart' and the price on the catalog catagory pages.

Thanks so much for a wonderful module.

P.S. If it's impossible to use the ubercart catalog, I would probably have to go with taxonomy and views, but I'm rookie in Druapl and I'm not sure how to build such a view to display a taxonomy in a hierarchical manner the way it's done in ubercart, and than there is also an issue with the breadcrumb, etc.

Re: Using just ubercart catalog without any shopping cart or pri

You don't need Ubercart to build a catalog, just Drupal, taxonomy and views to build your catalog displays.

But how?

I would love to build my own catalog display, but I am not sure how to do it using views.

I have tried using the default taxonomy view that comes with the Views module, but it does not work the way I expected it.

The view would just give me a listing of node which are tagged with the term, while I need a listing of all child term.

For example, let's say I have this taxonomy:

Fruit (Level 1)
- Orange (Level 2)
- Apple (Level 2)
- - Green Apple (Level 3)
- - Red Apple (Level 3)

Vegetables (Level 1)
- Tomato (Level 2)
- Cucumber (Level 2)

Now, I would need that when a user clicks on Fruit (Level 1) it should display a list of all children of this term, in our case "orange" and "apple". I don't want this to display the grandchildren (red apples or green apples), but just the children of this parent.

Using the builtin views, I was not able to accomplish it, since the view would not display the children taxonomy, but rather a listing of nodes which were tagged with a given taxonomy, so since in my case there are no nodes tagged as "apple" or "orange" (but rather tagged with the children of these terms) I would get a blank page.

Can anyone advise on how to build such a view to display the terms that are children of a selected term? (I would like to also use images, for which I should probably be able to use taxonomy_image)

Re: But how?

I'll post some more info later today about how I would do it. Its pretty simple once you figure out views, custom regions and temple overrides.

Re: Thanks a million

Sry man don't have much time atm just drove for 4 hours. Looking more into the views generated by UC for the catalog I'm doing the same thing lol. I have sub categories above the products and the main category of the sub categories lists all products under it and all of the sub categories. not 100% sure but if you don't add products to the main category but just the sub categories they shouldn't be listed and only the links/images of the sub categories should show. I'll have to do some testing tonight,

Exactly

That was my problem with the Views module.

I'm not sure how to create a hierarchy with it so it should show only one level below.

Also, I would want my urls to match the hierarchy.

For example:

http://example.com/category/fruit/
http://example.com/category/fruit/apples/
http://example.com/category/fruit/apples/red-apples
http://example.com/category/vegetables/
http://example.com/category/vegetables/tomato/
http://example.com/category/vegetables/tomato/cherrie

It sounds very simple and basic, but I have not been able to find any information on how to accomplish it.

Thanks so much for all your help
