Hi all

i've just set up my v4.1.6 Developer pages.

I want to change the data type of the 'price' field from decimal to text, and then let people write things like "offers", "�500" "swap for a red one" rather than a enter a fixed price in a fixed currency.

Then remove the price field in the search.

What else will I have to do? Has anyone else done this? I'm happy to muddle through rewriting bits as I go, but has anyone already done this? I think it should be quite simple if you know where all the relevant snippets are.

Thanks

Why not just globally hide the price field and instead create a text input extra field?

Hi Eric, thanks for your reply

Can you turn price off completely and stop it being shown? So far i've managed to stop a user having to provide it, yet it is still listed as �0.00 in quite a few places. Can it be even more turned off, or do I have to edit some templates?

thanks

Yes you can globally turn it off:
Checkout Settings - 68 Classifieds

Admin -> settings -> checkout settings:
Allow Price Field - Choose 'Yes' if you would like the member to be able to specify a price for his/her ad's item.

I have turned off the the price field everywhere, but when I use the "Featured" option the ad comes up on the first page with price=0,00

What can I do to turn price completely off ?

That display of featured listings is done by a plugin. You can alter theline of smarty code in the template calling the plugin to tell it not to show the price as outlined in the documentation.

Feature Listings Horizontal - 68 Classifieds

What template are you using because if you are not using the default plugin, you need to edit the language file for the horizontal listings to put a blank in for 0.00. This will also resolve 0.00 on viewlisting and showlisting pages too.

As an aside, just so you do not forget, a side effect of turning pricing off is you will lose search and sort capability on price.
