Show empty price field everywhere when 0.00

[SecondShoe]

I've seen it on many big classified ads sites. When the price is 0 the field is empty. I think it will make more sense than the present "0.00". It also can be replaced with some predefined text like "Call for the price".

This is very easy to accomplish at the template level.......

replace this....
{$listingprice}

with

{$listingprice|replace:'$0.00':'Call for Price'}

or

{$listingprice|replace:'$0.00':' '}

I tried but its not working. The only file that contains {$listingprice} is userlistinginfo.tpl. When I replaced the code nothing happened.

Thats was just an example and based on V3. If the viewlisting template is where you want the price altered, then look in that template for where the price is displayed.

In V4 its {$price|format_money}

you could do something like this....

{$price|format_money|replace:'$0.00':'Call for Price'}

Thanks Lhotch! You've got a big virtual beer from me .

I just noticed a problem. When I use {$price|format_money|replace:'$0.00':'Call for Price'} a problem came up. 0.00 is fine but when the price is 3000.00 or so it turns to 300 or something like that.

Experiment a little bit, possibly remove the format_money and adjust the 1st element of the repalce as needed.

Big thanks to markstanden for the code! His solution works even when the currency symbol comes after the numbers.

======================
Find this code:
{if $viewprice=="Y"}
<tr>
<td><strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE}</strong></td>
<td><strong>{$price|format_money}</strong></td>
</tr>
{/if}
Replace with:
{if $viewprice=="Y"}
<tr>
<td><strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE}</strong></td>
{if $price=="0.00"}
<td><strong>{"P.O.A"}</strong></td>
{else}
<td><strong>{$price|format_money}</strong></td>
</tr>
{/if}{/if}
In showlisting.tpl
Find this code:
<td{if $entry.class<>""} class="{$entry.class}"{/if}>{$entry.price|format_money}</td>
Replace with:
<td{if $entry.class<>""} class="{$entry.class}"{/if}>{if $entry.price=="0.00"}{"P.O.A"}{else}{$entry.price|format_money}{/if}</td>
