Add text to price field display?

[bykrmom]

Hi all,

I searched the forum for an answer to this question before posting this query, but I couldn't find anything. It's either because I can't figure out how to phraze a search properly or nothing yet exists to answer my need. I did try, however.

My issue: I have changed the '$price' in validate.php to include text, so I could possibly use "Call for Pricing" in the price area for a product. I realized the change works well for the input in back office, but that all I can fit in the field is "Call". That will still work for me.

Unfortunately, when Prestashop calculates the "Final retail price:" for display, it comes up with $0.00 instead of the text.

Has anyone else encountered a need for text in the price field, and if so, how did you solve it?

Thank you for any input

Angie

Hello Tobias,

Unfortunately, no one has answered the question or offered solutions. Not suprising, but a tad dissapointing.

If I should find a way to accomplish this, I'll let you know. Right now I'm focusing on a print catalog for the company and haven't had time to do anymore tweaking to the PS software in a month or so

Hi,
I had a similar problem and fixed it in my product.tpl file and product-list.tpl file.

on product.tpl file

I added

{if $product->price eq '0'}
{l s='Call for Pricing and Availabilty'}
{else}

{convertPrice price=$product->getPrice(true, NULL, 2)}
{/if}
where

{convertPrice price=$product->getPrice(true, NULL, 2)}

used to be in

What this does is sees if the product price is equal to 0 if it is then it outputs Call for pricing and availabilty, if not then it outputs the price.

I also had to change product.tpl
where it was {convertPrice price=$product.price} inside the price span

i put
{if $product.price eq '0'}
{l s=' '}
{else}

{convertPrice price=$product.price}

{/if}

This checks to see if the product price is 0 again and if it is it outputs nothing, didnt want it on that page. if it is higher than 0 then output the price.
