Product category settings


Since version 1.4 Catalog Mode gives you an option to enable or disable the plugin for every product category or subcategory. By default all categories will get global settings, defined via WooCommerce > Settings – Catalog Mode. However you can change this settings per product category or subcategory.

To enable or disable Catalog Mode per product category you need to navigate to Products > Catogories and choose the category, that you want to edit.
On the left hand side, below the category Description you will find Catalog Mode settings:

You can choose one of:

  • Use Global Settings – selected category will get settings from WooCoomerce > Settings – Catalog Mode;
  • Notice: if you are editing subcategory instead of Use Global Settings you can choose Use Parents Settings – subcategory will use the closest parents settings then.

  • Enable – Catalog Mode for products from selected category will be enabled;
  • Disable – Catalog Mode for products from selected cateogry will be disabled;

Notice:

If a product has more than one category, and assigned categories has different Catalog Mode settings (for example 1 category has enabled category and second one has disabled Catalog Mode) – Catalog Mode will be enabled.


PlugIn Hooks


The default button can be changed with the ct_catalog.css_template.default (path) hook

If you want to minify the buttons CSS this hook will do it for you,

by default the minify functionality is set to true.

Add custom template button
With the ct_catalog.css_template hook can be added new templates to the plugin

Example:

Lets add a new button style to the settings select list:

All done, now have button will have your custom stylsheet.

If for some reason the price need to be hidden or shown there is a hook for that too:

On this example lets hide a price if the value is bigger than 5
