Some of our products dont't have a price, how do we display text instead?

 

For instance instead of displaying "€0" we should display "Call now for a quote".

 

Alternatively, is it possible to hide the price when it's zero?

 

Is this possible?

You can do something like this in the template (product.tpl) where the price is displayed.

 

{if $product.price == 0}
   {l s='Call for a quote'}
{/if}

 

Of course, you need to integrate it qith the current price display to avoid showing 0.

thanks Nemo, unfortunately that's not working for me no matter what I do, I've taken it this far...

 

           	 {if $priceDisplay >= 0 && $priceDisplay <= 2}
                   <span id="our_price_display">{convertPrice price=$productPrice}<br /><span class="price-vat">{l s='+ VAT.'}</span></span>

		    {elseif $product.price == 0}
			    {l s='Call for a quote'}
		    {/if}

 

But still no joy, it's still displaying the zero price, but at least the page is displaying. I don't really know Smarty that well.

Right, I forgot about javascript

 

Product.js, about line 379

 

 var our_price = '';
 if (productPriceDisplay > 0) {
  our_price = formatCurrency(productPriceDisplay, currencyFormat, currencySign, currencyBlank);
 } else {
  our_price = formatCurrency(0, currencyFormat, currencySign, currencyBlank);
 }
 $('#our_price_display').text(our_price);

 

Put a condition here, do the text substitution only if the price is not 0. THis should fix it

thanks Nemo1,

 

I've found that code but to be honest I've no idea what to add there, I'm not a coder so don't speak javascript. All I'm doing is breaking things which is not a good approach.

Okay, try this then

var our_price = '';
 if (productPriceDisplay > 0) {
  our_price = formatCurrency(productPriceDisplay, currencyFormat, currencySign, currencyBlank);
 } else {
  our_price = formatCurrency(0, currencyFormat, currencySign, currencyBlank);
 }
if(our_price != 0)
 $('#our_price_display').text(our_price);

 

 

And in the template

 

 {if $priceDisplay >= 0 && $priceDisplay <= 2}
{if $product.price !=0}
			    <span id="our_price_display">{convertPrice price=$productPrice}<br /><span class="price-vat">{l s='+ VAT.'}</span></span>
					    {elseif $product.price == 0}
							    {l s='Call for a quote'}
					    {/if}
{/if}

Hi,

 

Did you fix this?

I need that too. If price = 0 I want to show "Product available soon".

 

I tried what you wrote in this post but it didn't work...

[NemoPS]

Did it spawn any error? It should work really, maybe you didn't clear cache?

Any way to do this in v1.7?
