Freeform pricing

[traveller]

Never one to make things too easy, I've got another problem. Some of my users dont want to put a number in the price field - they either want 'offers', or 'enquire for price'. Trouble is, if they leave the price field empty, or write text in it, the price shows up as $0.00. Can the price field be modified, so that if text is entered that displays instead of 0?

you can use something like this in the listings.tpl find the sections that display the $records.price

Code: Select all

{if $records.price <= 1} Call for Price{/if}

Worked perfectly, thanks!

Yes this works but it is hardly perfect. I am getting this result: "Call for Price $0.00". It doesn't seem to stop $0.00 from showing when the price is less than <= 1 . Is there a way to make this not show the $0.00 when the price field is empty or less than 1? Here's where I inserted this in listings.tpl

Code: Select all

<p class="right-align">
{if $records.price <= 1} Call for Price{/if} {$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS}{$records.price|number_format:2:"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`":
"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR`"}<br />


I have also tried inserting this in other spots in the above code with results of: "$0.00 Call for Price"

I'm not using this bit at the moment as I've not got anything with 'offers only' but I still have this on a subscribed topic. I'm sure Brandon will know, but here's a suggestion first.
Where you have

Code: Select all

<p class="right-align">
{if $records.price <= 1} Call for Price{/if} {$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS}{$records.price|number_format:2:"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`":
"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR`"}<br />

try

Code: Select all

<p class="right-align">
{if $records.price <= 1} Call for Price {else}{$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS}{$records.price|number_format:2:"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`":
"`$smarty.const.CURRENCY_SYMBOLS_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR`"}{/if}<br />

That was what it needed to make it work properly. Thanks for the help.

Yay! On the basis that 'even a blind squirrel finds the odd nut', I knew I'd finally work out a bit of code without needing someone else! Glad it worked for you.

I have been trying to get this to work but everytime I make changes I get errors. Can someone who has this working copy and paste the entire listings.tpl here or send it to me in a PM? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
