Price "from xxx" when attributes

[Randaal]

I've been searching the web for any informations on how to display the word "from" before the price when there are attributes that influence the price. I haven't found any solution nor a module to make it happen.

 

Does anyone from you know how to set it?

[vekia]

the question is: where you want to display this?

[Randaal]

In the Home Featured module and in categories/subcategories where the products are listed. Right before the price so a customer can see that the product starts with price X and can be more expensive with other attributes.

 

For example a dog food package of 1,5 kg costs 300 and 10 kg costs 1500 so if it shows the customer that the price is "from" then he knows that it could be more but it could be this much even before he opens the product page

[vekia]

you can try to use this code:

 

{if $product.id_product_attribute != 0 || $product.customizable != 2}

{l s='price statrs from' mod='homefeatured'}
{/if}

[Randaal]

in which file should I insert it? homefeatured.tpl?

[vekia]

yes in homefeatured.tpl file

[Randaal]

what is the difference between the shop/modules/homefeatured and shop/themes/default/modules/homefeatured? I mean how do I know in what folder I should make the changes?

[vekia]

if module file exist in theme directory it mean that you have to edit this one.

it's because of feature named "overrides" http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Overriding+default+behaviors

OK, so I've put it in the code and it shows exactly what I want and it works!

 

But two things:

1) it appears even on products that have no attributes http://www.obchod.nicha.cz/index.php (the last product has none)

2) what piece of code should I put in .css to set the font similar to the price but smaller? The name of the line is just fine, setting it's actual appearance is easy

 

and maybe how do I place it right before the price?

The perfect look is as shown on this pic

I've played with it pretty much and the only thing I need is to not show the "price starts from" (I changed it to only "From") when the product has no attributes.

 

I now have it placed in the Home Featured module http://www.obchod.nicha.cz/index.php

And in the Category List http://www.obchod.nicha.cz/index.php?id_category=4&controller=category

 

Positioning it exactly as I wanted shouldn't much of a problem, it already has a css formatting so the only tweak is to not show it on products without attributes. Could you please help me with it? Thanks Vekia

another progress:

 

I need to set the code for appearing the word "From" in case that the product has attributes in group 2 (found in my SQL database) but it doesn't work in this state below. Could you please have look at it and tell me what to change?

 

{if $product.id_attribute_group = 2}
{l s='From' mod='homefeatured'}
{/if}

[Randaal]

And done :-)

 

it needed a bit of SQL editing and the code needed to be more complex because it couldn't read the product attribute group info in this state but it finaly works as needed.

 

Anyway thanks for your time Vekia if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to get this done!
