product display help

[novus]

Hi,

 

I want to know, how can I change the settings, so that the product prices are displayed only after the customer has logged in.

 

The reason I want to do this is because, I want to create a site for traders only. The prices on my store will be wholesale prices are not intented for end users.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks

use this in product listing, product info and wherever a price is called, or better go to the class where the price is being formatted and use it there!

 

<?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?> ....

Personally I would not put it in the currencies class. If you add all kind of conditions which have nothing to do with the object currency to the class, it basically eliminates the purpose of using classes/objects. I would write a function "display_price_info($products_id)" in which you process all these conditions and that function is called in product_info.php and elsewhere. That function in turn uses the currencies class instance/object which can remain pure in functionality.

great idea Amanda! I knew there was a 3rd spot apart from my class approach and putting it right into the code, lol.

just as an example of the function I use myself for all price information.

 

function price_info ($product_info, $show_savings = true, $show_old_price = true, $show_price = true) {

 

// input:

// $product_info = array from database query result

// $show_savings = parameter of % saved display

// $show_old_price = parameter of retail price display

// $show_price = parameter of current price display

//

// output:

// $result = formatted string

 

global $currencies;

 

$old_price = '';

$price = '';

$savings = '';

$result = '';

 

// return nothing if not signed in

//if (!tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') return '';

// return nothing if product sold

if ($product_info['products_quantity'] < 0) return '';

// return call for price if price is zero

if ($product_info['products_price'] == 0) {

return '<a onmouseover="return escape(\'Call or Email Us for the Price<br>Or make an Offer\');"href="' . tep_href_link('contact_us.php', 'cfp=' . urlencode('Product [' . $product_info['products_id'] . '] - ' . $product_info['products_name'])) . '">'. TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE . '</a>';

}

 

// get current price formatted

$price = $currencies->display_price($product_info['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) .'<br>';

 

// if retail price defined, format it and calculate savings

if ($product_info['products_retail_price'] > 0) {

$old_price = '<s><font color="red">' . $currencies->display_price($product_info['products_retail_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</font></s><br>';

$savings = YOU_SAVE . '<font color="red"><i>' . ceil((1-($product_info['products_price']/$product_info['products_retail_price'])) * 100) . '%</i></font>';

}

 

// output the requested information

if ($show_old_price) $result .= $old_price;

if ($show_price) $result .= $price;

if ($show_savings) $result .= $savings;

 

return $result;

}
