"Undoing" an oscommerce shop

Whilst online shopping is still a rapidly growing sector, it's not right for every business. A client who came to us last year for an e-shop have since decided that whilst having the products online drive sales, actual orders come from direct enquiries. They deal with plumbing supplies, and so their online catalogue is vital for giving customers details of what they offer and how, but when it comes to actually buying the goods, people prefer to discuss their exact needs with the merchant. For that reason, they've just asked me to go through their shop and whilst keeping all the products browsable, take out any links to the checkout, remove signs of the shopping basket and get rid of any "buy" buttons. The shop was built using oscommerce, so incase any of you have the same need arise I thought I'd jot down the main pages/files for you to look at when doing it. Everything was commented out rather than deleted so if the client's needs change again in the future, it can simply be added back in. Note: Line numbers are for reference, but this wasn't a clean install of oscommerce (I've added various contributions) so line numbers may be different for you. This was on an installation of osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- index.php Commented out line 153:  /*'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW' => PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW);*/ Added line 305:  <p class="notices"><u><b>For more information on any of our products or to order, please call [PHONE NUMBER] or <a href="contact_us.php">email us</a>.</b></u></p></td> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ product_info.php (note: class notices is styled in stylesheet.css) Added in line 131:  <p class="notices"><b>To order this item, please call 01543 276680 or <a href="http://www.foxfittings.co.uk/contact_us.php">email us</a>.</b></p> Commented out line 224:  <!--<td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td>--> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- includes/column_right.php Commented out line 13:  /*require(DIR_WS_BOXES .
