Check product for attributes and display "From" text in product-list?

[VirtuoSEO]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I need a little bit of code to check if a product has more than one attribute and if it does I want to add the text "From" before the price in product-list.tpl.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Change line 18 of product-list.tpl in your theme's directory from:

{if !$priceDisplay}{convertPrice price=$product.price}{else}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}

to:

{if $product.id_product_attribute > 0}{l s='From'} {/if}{if !$priceDisplay}{convertPrice price=$product.price}{else}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}

Hi Rocky, thanks for the reply. I needed to modify it to check for more than one attribute as all my products have a single attribute.

Unfortunately this code shows From on all products.

{if $product.id_product_attribute > 1}{l s='From'} {/if}{if !$priceDisplay}{convertPrice price=$product.price}{else}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}

Any idea what's wrong with it?

Thanks again!

EDIT: If it helps my original price section looked like this:

{displayWtPrice p=$product.price}

Unfortunately, that's not so easy. There is no variable on the product listing page that tells you how many attributes a product has.

Ahhh right.

How about if I create an array of items that DON'T have more than one attribute in product-list.php (there aren't that many) and check the product names against that list?

Would that be possible?

I am trying to use similar code to hide a particular div on the product page when there are less than 2 attributes. I have tried:

{if $product.id_product_attribute < 2}style="display: none"{/if}

But this doesn't work - it breaks the page. This code works on the product list page, but not on the product page

[babyewok]

Yey! figured it out - just needed to take off product. and change to

$id_product_attribute

Ok so with a bit of tweeking I can now hide the div when there is one attribute and the colour picker is present (I hide my colour attributes and just use the picker so essentially, I just wnat to hide the div when colour is the only attribute)

{if $id_product_attribute == 1 && $colors}style="display: none"{/if}

Hmm, I take that back. ==1 doesn't work. <=1 or <2 hides the div regardless of the number of attributes....so close yet so far! Anyone have any ideas as to the missing link??

I lost track of this thread while the email notifications weren't working. The $id_product_attribute variable contains the ID of the default combination. It doesn't contain how many attributes a product has. There is no variable with that information.

VirtuoSEO's idea to maintain an array of products that should or shouldn't have "From" (depending on which array would be smaller) would work. For example, in category.php, search.php, new-products.php and best-sales.php:

$from = array('1', '2', '3', '4');
$smarty->assign('from', $from);

Then in product-list.tpl:

{foreach from=$from item=$id_product}{if $product.id_product == $id_product}{l s='From'} {/if}{/foreach}

Hi rocky. I kind of went off in another direction with this code. I was trying to use the code you gave before to hide a particular div on the product page when there are less than 2 attributes. I have tried:

nearly works, but <=1 or <2 hides the div regardless of the number of attributes (and ==1 doesn't work at all)

Any ideas onhow I can get this working?

Try the following:

Perfect! I knew I could rely on you rocky - you're an invaluable asset to the prestashop forums!

I had to make a change to allow for the text filed customisation when there were no groups at all. This seems to work:

 customizable==false}style="display: none"{/if}>
