The Amazon button is not a feature, it's a simple addition to the template and you can have it disappear by enclosing the Amazon link code (see readme.txt in store template folder) between these tags:


The assumption is that you will only enter an ASIN number for Amazon products. You can rename jr_asin for whatever fieldname you decide to use.

EDIT: fixed error in patTemplate code

What I suggested before does exactly what you wanted except it does not show an alternative it just hides it and it was for content pages. For the blogview you just need to replace   "jreviewcontent" with "single_item"

If you want to do an if ... else ... statement then this should work:

And again, change the single_item with jreviewcontent if you are placing this in the com_content template.

This is for RC3, yes. What exactly do you want to do and have you read this?

Oh if anyone wants the code let me know,, I do not want to post something I am not allowed.

I had a long post here about what I did, but the damn timeout reset, so here is the short one of it.

ISSUE1: Not all things on my site are on Amazon
ISSUE2: Games are sold on more than one platform

Solution: Use the thing above to make it all work out

First a "Is it on amazon" (I could have used a checkbox, but I did not, and I am to lazy to go and change it)

Second, make a field for each of the game platforms to hold the Amazon number

Code

IS IT ON AMAZON (ONAMAZON NOT NULL)
     YES
          DO I HAVE A XBOX NUMBER (IS XBOX NOT NULL)
          YES
              HERE IS A LINK
         END
          DO I HAVE A WII NUMBER (IS WII NOT NULL)
          YES
              HERE IS A LINK
         END
          DO I HAVE A PS3 NUMBER (IS PS3 NOT NULL)
          YES
              HERE IS A LINK
         END
     END

Here were more games but you get the blah blah blah...

Great thing, if it is not on Amazon, you get NO "buy" box at all. It if it, you get an icon for every platform it is on, and that icon is a link to Amazon...

See images, see con_content.html

Alejandro, I am having trouble hiding the Amazon buttons when there is no ASIN number entered - i have 2 buttons for separate code/asin fields (1 for CDs and 1 for MP3s)... I am wondering if reworking this along the lines of what Mark has done in the post here would be better than what i have been trying to get to work below - seems like the below is the best/easiest approach but for the review items i have where there is no ASIN entered it is not pulling up the thumbnail images for the review item...

<patTemplate:tmpl name="com_content" type="simplecondition" requiredvars="jr_asin,jr_mpasin" varscope="jreviewcontent">
<!--  com_content.html store template -->
   <div id="jr_com_content">
      <patTemplate:link src="user_reviews_header" />
      <div id="content_images" style="float:left;">
         <patTemplate:link src="com_content_introimage" />
         <div class="image_zoom">Click to see larger images</div>
         <patTemplate:link src="com_content_images" />
      </div>
      <div class="content_fields">
         <div>
         {CUSTOMFIELDS}

I'm using the Amazon button in authorreviewdetail.html and my link code looks like this:


Can I change this to include the "simplecondition" for showing the button only when an ASIN is entered?
