UncleSteve Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'd like a clear way of displaying on the product info that 'free shipping' is offered on that product. Perhaps and additional field to display under the 'Products Model' would be cool? Has anyone got any ideas on how I could acheive my need please? Thanks in advance for any help and ideas :) ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeam Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 How about in the product description? Maybe just insert an image. Easy and simple... GL, Moon "Woohoo, Just Havin Funnn!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL, Moon Hi GL, I have considered that, but inserting images, can be time consuming. It would be nice to have something like a button to click when setting up the product, which activates an indicator in the same place when the product is displayed. Hopefully when using 'Easy populate' I can quickly do updates.

I wanted something shown on the product info page to indicate 'free shipping' before they go through the check out process. As it can be easy for customers to assume there will be shipping added to all products.

You should be able to doa query in products_info.php and if it has free shipping, display your icon. :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

UncleSteve Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 You should be able to do a query in products_info.php and if it has free shipping, display your icon. Sounds just the job. But how do I do that, as I'm no programmer :( Working along your brilliant idea, what about displaying the supplier icon with the product? I'm not using the supplier icon anywhere else, so this way would be an excellent use of something that is already in the database. But again, no programmer, so what code should I insert in what file/s?

Thanks Steve well, I'm really in a good mood tonight, but not THAT good that I would start to study a contrib I do not normally use and pick it apart for free :-) what about grabbing a good osC book and another one about mysql and learning this stuff? it's incredibly rewarding, promised! steep learning curves guaranteed! :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

But again, no programmer, so what code should I insert in what file/s? Rather than inserting an image, I think it would be better to display the suppliers 'Phone 2 #:' details below the 'Products Model:' details. If only I could work out what code to insert into what part of 'product_info.php' I'd be a winner, can anyone help please?
