Call for Price Changes

[Mort-lemur]

Hi,

 

Can't find a support thread for this one, so posting here.

 

I have installed the "easy call for price" contribution and in the most it is working fine.

 

However,

 

The install detailed changes to a file called product_listing_col.php - which I dont seem to have on my install.

 

Also although the items I have set to a price of -1 in admin show as "Call for Price" in the store, when viewing their category they still have a buy it now button so could be added to the cart with a price of -£1 which shouldnt happen.

 

Any Ideas please?

 

Thanks

Hi aagin,

 

Here is a link to the problem I am having LINK

 

You can see that the top item is Call for Price, but it still has a buy it now button so you can add it to the cart.

 

Thanks if anyone can help.........

Hi Heather,

 

I'm not sure where or how one is to get a file called - product_listing_col.php

 

A likely solution to your problem of being able to purchase the item is to install this contribution - Show Sold Out Items.

 

Then all you would need to do is set the stock quantity to zero.

 

The contribution comes with a "Sold Out" button that would show in place of the "Buy Now" button and it would be a simple task to make something different.

Thanks Jim,

 

I will keep that at the back of my mind - but I would really like to get this working first.

 

I think the problem is with an If - Else statement in Product_listing.php.

 

This is the code:

 

		case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
	$lc_align = 'center';
	if ($listing[$x]['products_price']== CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE){ //fix for call for price
	$lc_text = '';
	} else {
	$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
	}
	break; 
		}

 

Can anyone see a problem with this ?

 

Thanks

Hi Heather,

 

Sorry, I should have looked further at the products info page. I did not realize the contrib actually is supposed to remove the button.

 

Have you tried comparing it to the code for product_info.php?

Hi,

 

Yes tried all connotations of the IF- ELSE code, but I just cannot get the buy-now button to go away

Cracked it !!! :)

 

After an afternoon of reading PHP tutorials I have managed to sort out the code.

 

The Buy-Now Button is removed for items which are "call for Price" and I have also gone a step further and used if-elseif-else statements to remove the buy-Now button from free downloadable product brochures.

 

If anyone wants the code let me know and I'll post it.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

In product_info.php around line 301 I changed the code to read

<?php
if ($product_info['products_price'] == CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE){
?>
<td class="main" align="right"><a href="javascript:history.go(-1)"><?php echo tep_image_button('button_continue_shopping.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE); ?></a></td>
<?php
} elseif($product_info['products_price'] == FREE_VALUE){
?>
<td class="main" align="right"><a href="javascript:history.go(-1)"><?php echo tep_image_button('button_continue_shopping.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE); ?></a></td>
<?php
} else {
?>
<td class="main" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $product_info['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART); ?></td>
<?php
}
// EOF: MOD - EASY CALL FOR PRICE v1.4 ?>

 

in includes/modules/product_listing.php around line 131 I changed the code to read:

 

          case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW':
$lc_align = 'center';
if ($listing['products_price']== CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE){ //fix for call for price
$lc_text = '  ';
} elseif($listing['products_price']== FREE_VALUE){ //fix for call for price
$lc_text = '  ';
} else {
$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> ';
}
break; 
       }

 

In includes/classes/currencies.php around line 73 I changed the code to :

 

// BOF: MOD - EASY CALL FOR PRICE v1.4
// return $this->format($this->calculate_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity));
define ('CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE', -1);
define ('FREE_VALUE', 0);
// If you sell products for $0.00 and want to display "Call for Price!" for other products, set their price and the CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE to -1.
if ($products_price > CALL_FOR_PRICE_VALUE){
return $this->format($this->calculate_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity));
} else {
define ('TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE', 'TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE');
// You can set CALL_FOR_PRICE_TEXT to anything you want. Its style is determined by the page it is displayed on. Changes made here will be visible throughout your site.
return TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE;
// BOF: MOD - EASY CALL FOR PRICE v1.4

 

So now I set the value of items I want to be call-for-price to -1 and for free downloads i set the value to 0.

 

Hope this helps.
