Yes you can just create a want to buy category and associate a specific listing package with it.

If I choose to "require a price" in the check-out settings, for the selling categories, wich way Can I create a "WTB" category ? It will ask a price I suppose ... ?

Good question. What I would probably recommend is editing the template file and add in an if statement to check which category they are placing the listing in. Then make it not required for that category.

If you purchase and need help with that just create a new topic and we will be glad to help.

I will buy next week I suppose, after showing the product to my website staff this week-end ...

May be an other way :

Not manage the price in the default field but create a price 'extra' field that will appear only in sales categories...

Will try that in the demo....

Yes,that would be another solution.

That is another possibility.

I went with something different though. I don't require price specifically, because of a wanted category as well as, Personals, Announcements and Employment categories.

I then modified the showlistings which is what shows the listings to the viewers. I put an if statement in there so if the Price=0, it doesn't even show the field. This allows the versatility of showing both ads with or without prices on the same page and regardless of order.

Mark,

This is what I used (This was in v3.1.10 though):

PHP Code:

{if $sDisPrice == "Y"}
   {* modification to not display price if it is $0.00 *}
   {if $entry.price == "\$0.00"}
       
      {else}
      {if $entry.price == "<strong>\$0.00</strong>"}
         &nbsp;
     {else}
     <strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE} {$entry.price}</strong>
      {/if}
   {/if}
{/if} 


Hope that helps,
-Mike
