Hiding Price when Call For Price is On?

[gabstero]

Hi Gang!

I'd like to preserve the price of a product when I have its price set to Call For Price - just for my administrative reference.
How can I hide the price on the Product main page as well as on the listings once I have the Call For Price set to on?

thanks!

I sure would like to know as well - there are some functions of Zen-Cart that just do not make sense - like this one, what is the point of displaying a "Call for Price" if it's going to display it anyways? Especially when you have to display call for price per manufacturer requirements...

Call for Price lets you set a price but read Call for Price to get the customer to see a stated price but know there is a better price if they call.

To mask the price totally, you could use the function zen_products_lookup and identify if the product is a product_is_call = 1 and if so, mask out the price.

There is a display price function zen_get_products_display_price that can be customized to not show the price for certain products.

This section of code:

    // If Call for Price, Show it
    if ($product_check->fields['product_is_call']) {
      if (PRODUCTS_PRICE_IS_CALL_IMAGE_ON=='0') {
        $call_tag = '<br />' . PRODUCTS_PRICE_IS_CALL_FOR_PRICE_TEXT;
      } else {
        $call_tag = '<br />' . zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . OTHER_IMAGE_CALL_FOR_PRICE, PRODUCTS_PRICE_IS_CALL_FOR_PRICE_TEXT);
      }
    } 

tests to see if the product is Call for Price to add the image. You could change that to remove the return value below it:

    return $final_display_price . $free_tag . $call_tag; 

to have the $final_display_price and $free_tag be blank so that all that is returned is the $call_tag when $product_check->fields['product_is_call'] = 1

To find code or text or anything else in any of the php files, look in your Zen Cart Admin under the Tools menu for the Developers Tool Kit.

In the bottom box, type in what you are looking for, such as:
If Call for Price

that happens to be in that code I posted. Next select either Catalog or Catalog/Admin in the dropdown and click the search button.

This will list for you any of the files and the line numbers that contain what you are trying to find.
