Two questions to Product display in category listing

[Anuragji]

Hey there,

I have two questions to the product display in the category listing:

1. Can the price be displayed when it is $ 0.00 and how?
2. If Product max qty is 1 set to one, how can I get rid of the MAX:1 display in the category listing?

ad 1. I have a lot of free downloads, and I just want to also display that the price is 0.00 (as some customers seem to be misled by the category name "FREE DOWNLOADS" )

Thanks,

If you mark the Product as 100.00 then mark it as Product is Free YES ... you will see the $100.00 price, but it will be marked out and say Free ...

Fantastic: Even better i'll mark it as $1000.00 and free, then they'll be really happy...

Actually: That isn't realy what I am looking for... is there a way to display the price if it is 0.00 ?


I'm not afraid to "mess with" a template

0.00 is suppressed ...

If you absolutely have to show the 0.00 vs marking the Product as Product is Free YES ...

You could edit the file:
/includes/functions/functions_prices.php

Around lines 256 - 261 is a function that excludes the $show_normal_price when the $display_normal_price == 0 ...

    if ($display_normal_price == 0) {
      // don't show the $0.00
      $final_display_price = $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } else {
      $final_display_price = $show_normal_price . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } 

Note: there is no override for this file so keep backups of both the orginal and your changed file ...
