Kryptronic Software Support Forum

We have received several requests by clients to provide a modification for versions 6 through 8 which disables checkout but does not affect the catalog or search engine optimization. 

We have released a mod for K9 which does this by using a setting, allowing you to control a Checkout Disabled Message using the software management interface to update a setting.  As versions 8 and lower are no longer officially supported, this modification is less elegant. 

Implement this modification to disable checkout by hard-coding a message into the checkout function.  Please note the modification is different depending on your software version:

### Version 6

To implement on version 6, open the file {private}/apps/ccp0/CCP_Checkout/CCP_Checkout.php and edit the docheckout() function.  At the top of the function, add this, and remove it when no longer necessary:

print '<div style="border: 1px solid #FF6600; font-weight: bold; padding: 1em; color: #FF6600;">';
print 'Checkout is disabled.  Add a custom message here.';
print '</div>';
return 1;

### Versions 7 and 8

To implement on versions 7 and 8, open the file {private}/apps/ecom/ECOM_Checkout/ECOM_Checkout.php and edit the docheckoutfn() function.  At the top of the function, add this, and remove it when no longer necessary:

print '<div style="border: 1px solid #FF6600; font-weight: bold; padding: 1em; color: #FF6600;">';
print 'Checkout is disabled.  Add a custom message here.';
print '</div>';
return 1;

### Version 9
