Price Required...Price Displayed

[tdisraeli +]

Hello - I unchecked 'price required' under 'checkout settings' hoping it would just display nothing if a user posted an item without a price; instead it shows 0.00.

Is the any code I can insert (and where do I insert it) to allow nothing to be displayed if a user doesn't enter a price?

Thanks!

Not sure why it does not work. However, you can edit showlistings and viewlistings to simply stop showing 0.00. Use a logical test to put something else in its place (like the word FREE) or leave it blank for example. If all your adverts are 0.00 then you could just comment out the column in showlistings and the price field in viewlistings.

Right now the price is globally set to be seen of not seen. This comes from the usergroups.

As seymourjames posted, you can add logic to your showlistings(2) file to not display the price if it is $0.00.

If you are using showlistings.tpl find this around line 92:

PHP Code:

{if $sDisPrice == "Y"}
   <td{if $entry.class<>""}
   class="{$entry.class}"{/if}>{$entry.price|format_money}</td>
{/if} 


Replace with this:

PHP Code:

{if $sDisPrice == "Y"}
   {* Modification to not show price if 0 *}
   {if $entry.price == "\$0.00"}
     
   {else}
   <td{if $entry.class<>""} 
   class="{$entry.class}"{/if}>{$entry.price|format_money}</td>
    {/if}
{/if} 


If you are using showlistings2.tpl then find this around line 85:

PHP Code:

{if $sDisPrice == "Y"}
   {$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE} {$entry.price|format_money}
{/if} 


Replace with this:

PHP Code:

{if $sDisPrice == "Y"}
{* Modification to not show price if 0 *}
   {if $entry.price == "\$0.00"}
     
   {else}
    {$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE} {$entry.price|format_money}
   {/if}
{/if} 


Hope that helps,

Thanks Seymour, Eric, and Mike.

One more question...Is thre code that will allow text to be displayed like 'FREE' or 'obo' with or without a price?

Thanks again guys!

As Mike says you can do this

if $entry.price == "\$0.00"}
Whatever you want to write
{else}

However if you wish to mix something like O.N.O (or near offer) with a price whic has been entered it becomes more complex. You are probably into having to define an extrafield and displaying it if it is set to 'true' (exists and is not null).

Or better yet...I should just decide to hire you Seymour
