@irisydavid,

You could do it using Image Store Hook’s. But if you want a way to do it just by modifying the settings this is what you can do.

Create a new price list. Add one image size with the $0 cost.
For the payment gateway use email notification only.
All new galleries be sure to use the $0 cost price list.

@jcharris,

did you try using the setting above?

@irisydavid,

you can use the “ims_before_order_form” to completely modify the form.

Yes, I wrote a reply to this topic yesterday which appears to have gotten lost. I think there is a bug in this forum. If you reply to a specific post the reply seems to get lost. Fortunately I kept a copy:

“I want to do exactly the same thing. I just tried creating a Price List with no prices and the form will not validate. It seems that you -must- have at least 1 price in a price list and there is no way to hide it from the visitor.

Or if I create a dummy pricelist with one 0 price, the visitor sees -2- prices—both zero.

The point is that we don’t want users to have to check -anything- or see prices. We don’t want this because the image people will download will -never- have multiple sizes or prices and that will confuse visitors.

How do we simply -hide- the entire pricelist window/form?

OR, can we force the pricelist checkbox to TRUE and hide the controls on screen? If so, what is the easiest way to do this?”

Please advise,

Which ‘hook page’ do you mean?

I only see the docs page, which has no working ‘examples’.

Could you -please- flesh your answer out a little more. I may be dumber than a bag of hammers but I’m not seeing how those two filters allow me to swap out the order form… which is really what I want to do.

TIA,

—JC

When I use the code in your docs example:

// Apply filter
function add_ims_before_order_form( $output, $ImStore ) {
return $output . “<p>my message</p>”;
}
add_filter(‘ims_before_order_form’, ‘add_ims_before_order_form’);

I’m not sure this is correctly documented.

I can append text to the form, but it doesn’t -replace- the html. IOW: regardless of what the filter returns it doesn’t overwrite the order_form, which is what I want to do.

Can you help?

@jcharris,

don’t add the $output variable to your form, if you do it you are just adding to the html markup you want to replace the entire $output. like this:

function add_ims_before_order_form( $output, $ImStore ) {
return “<form> my form </form>”;
}
add_filter(‘ims_before_order_form’, ‘add_ims_before_order_form’);
