Dear All,
Anyone could tell me how to disable " Please sign in to buy" button
I want to use cs-cart as online catalog website, and also setting ->general → Allow shopping for unlogged customers → Hide " add to cart " button
But " Please sign in to buy" button is still there, and “This product cannot be added to the
cart because you are not logged in.” at top of the button, I want to remove this too.
Any suggestion?
Did you ever find out how to remove the “Please sign in to buy button” We are also trying to set up a manufacturing based website where only dealers can purchase items with a login. Removing the text is not problem but the button still exists.
OK I think I figured out a solution for this without code modification. Note: I just figured it out and have not implemented this but it seems to be a viable solution.
Create a cloned product for every product. Sounds intimidating but if you import you products this shouldn't be a big deal.
Set one of them to zero price and set “Hide Zero Price” in Product Area to “Do not allow…”
Then set the product available to guests only. The real product (Not cloned) will have the pricing and be assigned to “Wholesale Users”
When a wholesale customer logs in he will only see the version with the price and when a guest is at the site he will only see the one without the price.
You will still need to delete [Contact us for a Price] from Administation/Languages but that is easy to do.
You cold take this a step further and put the cloned zero price items into a separate category that is only visible to guests and have the real category with pricing for logged in users.
Note: When you test this you will need to log into your store as a customer. If you log into the store as an admin users you will see more than what will be visible by the logged in customer. This threw me off for a few minutes.
Anyhow hope this helps some of you out there. Should work for a small to moderately sized manufacturing website. Doubling the products may be too much for a larger wensite though.

I am not sure about what you are asking here however if you want the store in catalog mode that is it will show prices but not the buy button. then just install and activate the addon “catalog mode” in addons. that should do the job pretty well.
It is under administration menu Add-Ons
I myself have not tried Catalog mode but what I am trying to set-up is a Manufacturers website where the general publics sees product info only (no Buy it buttons or links to buy anything) and where dealers can log in to buy product. The quick reading I did seems to indicate that Catalog Mode is not the answer for us.
The option to assign products and categories to specific users seems to work fine and we can set up specific blocks for the categories used by generic visitors so they don't even see the shopping cart.
