Disable Ordering

[jfreak53]

I just spent a bit looking through the Hooks documentation and didn't find anything, so I thought I would post here. I was looking for a way to disable new order's in the system, quick and easily and flipping a switch. I can't find one

Any thoughts?

I want to be able to disable new order's of any type just be turning it on or off really.

You could use the ClientAreaPage hook which does get called before any of the order form pages are display and define a smarty variable to enable/disable new orders. Then on your order form templates check for the variable to either display the order form, product list, etc or display a message that ordering is closed.
