Hidden prices

[Guest]

Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way of hiding the prices of a specified brand from non-registered users.

I have several brands and would like the option of displaying prices of some brands as opposed to others.

At present I display prices of all brands to everyone. I also installed the module which allows me to diplay prices to only registered users but that is not enough for me.

Can anyone help ?

thanks

David

SPPC would allow you to assign products to groups but it may be overkill for exactly what you want to do as it integrates many other options as well.

Hi Chris,

 

and thank you for your kind reponse.

Indeed that is what I would need but these past 2 days I tried following the guide but with no success.

My main problem was that looking for the codes within the php files I couldn't find the exact place. So at times I would intuitively place the coding where I thought logical (I have no experience in this sort of coding).

After seeing that there was also a file "catalog/includes/modules/products_new.php" - I have "catalog/includes/modules/products_listings.php" I gave up modifying and simply went for the "clean installation" that is I replaced my files with those found in version 4.2.

Yet again I had errors on the site so I restored everything back to before.

Is there anything you can advise me to do ? I have version 2,3,1.

thanks

David

Easiest way (in theory);

 

Pass the product_id through the display_price function. Write a new function to grab the manufacturers_id from the product id and if the manufacturers_id = x, don't show the price, unless the customer is logged in then show all prices (global the $customer_id).

 

As I said, in theory this should work perfectly well. Would need a few lines of code to deal with the above, and the $product_id passed through all the display_price throughout the shop..

 

That sounds quite complicated and probably is more complicated than i've made out. it's an idea for exploration though.
