V4.1.x Custom Category Templates Mod Problem

[rockabilly +]

Hello,
I just uploaded the Custom Category Templates mod to my modules folder.
I activated it, and attemped to enter the admin link. I get this error message:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "customcats_browse.tpl" in /home7/myelvisw/public_html/vanportads/includes/classes/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092


I am running v4.1.3 Developer

Any ideas how to get this up and running?

Just to confirm, will this module allow me to remove the price from a specific category such as "jobs", so when a person places an employment ad, there is not a field for "price'?

Thanks in advance!!

Possibly a FTP corruption. Deactivate , delete and upload it again.

This module does not remove anything from a category (IE: there will still be a price field when the seller goes through the checkout process). This module allows you to have a custom template for the display of a listing when viewed in search results in the showlistings(2).tpl templates. This includes whether you would want to show the price field or not.

Hello,
Thanks for your help guys. I did get this module working. It must have been corrupted during upload.
I do see that it works just as you have explained below. Is there a way that I can remove the "price" field when a user posts an ad, and a way for it to not show on the main page of the ad? I am creating a category for jobs, so having a price filed would not really be applicable to this category.

Thank you.

FTP corruption is a problem which occurs more often than we all like to think. No problem.

Does anyone have an answer to rockabilly's question? Is there a way to tell the checkout process not to display the price name and field anywhere during the checkout process if it is a category that's not using it?

And if the answer is posted elsewhere in the forum, could you please include the link to that thread, because I've searched and searched for the answer and can't find it.

I found the thread for taking the price out of the showlistings but can't find anything about this.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You will need to edit step3.tpl of checkout where the price field is displayed.

enable debug in layout.tpl so you can see the available variables, login to your site and start the ad placement process.

On step3 where you see the ad fields, look at the debug console and you will see there is a smarty variable for category.

Add logic around the display section for the price and specify the category IDs of thye cats where no price is needed so it effectivly hides the display of that field.

I'll try that Larry. I haven't worked with smarty logic yet, but I'll give it a try and see what I can come up with.

Thanks.

if the category where you want to hide the price is category 4 then use something like this...

{if $category != "4"}
display the default price display code here
{/if}

That'll do it Larry. As always, you're right there with the solution. I really appreciate it.
