Removing the Price Field

[sporthorsebreeder +]

Is it possible to remove or rename the Price Field for certain categories?
Thanks for any help
Cheers

Yes.

You will need to change category.php just be for the last line to look like this:

PHP Code:

$class_tpl->assign('sec',$sec);
$class_tpl->assign('body',$body);
        
$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php'); 


Then in showlistings.tpl.php:

find the field you wish to rename (In this case I renamed the field to Ranch for only one category (24) and gave it a specific width.)

{if $sDisTitle == "Y"}
    <th {if $sec==24}width="100"{/if}>{if $sec==24}Ranch Name{else}{$smarty.const.LANG_TITLE}{/if}</th>
{/if}

To change the name in the actual ad open viewlisting.tpl.php and find the field you wish to change.

    {if $viewprice=="Y"}
    <tr> 
        <td><strong>{if $listingsection == "1"}Some other name {else}{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE}{/if{:</strong></td>
        <td>{$listingprice}</td>
    </tr>
    {/if}

Here is a post where I detailed how to hide it based on the category:

removing the price field can be done but carries with it some issues. In order to remove the price from only certain categories a check needs to be put in place in 3 difeerent templates to check the current category and if thats the category your in it wont show the price. The problem with this is if someone does a search they wont be in a category and will possibly get a mix of ads with and without prices

What a few have done is just insert a check to see if the price field contains a zeros or is empty and if so it just puts a few dashes in the price field. Its a little cleaner solution, would that work for you?

Here is the code to detect a 0.00 value and replace it with ------ or whatever text you wish to be displayed:

{$entry.price|replace:'$0.00':'----------'} here '$0.00' is the value you wish to replace and '---------' is what you wish to replace it with.

You have to open viewlisting.tpl.php and showlistings.tpl.php and find {$entry.price} and replace it with {$entry.price|replace:'$0.00':'----------'}

Hello John
I found the code {$entry.price} and replaced it with {$entry.price|replace:'$0.00':'----------'} in the showlistings.tpl.php file. It was found on line 83. I searched for {$entry.price} in viewlistings.tpl.php but it was not found.
When I looked at the ads on the site it has made no difference.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Sorry, it has a different name in viewlistings.tpl.php:

find:

{if $viewprice=="Y"}
<tr> 
  <td><strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE}:</strong></td>
  <td>{$listingprice}</td>
</tr>
{/if}

replace with:

{if $viewprice=="Y"}
<tr> 
  <td><strong>{$smarty.const.LANG_PRICE}:</strong></td>
  <td>{$listingprice|replace:'$0.00':'----------'}</td>
</tr>
{/if}
