Removing Parenthesis from Attribute Prices

[Beama]

Hello,
I am looking for a CURRENT answer on how to remove parenthesis from attribute prices. I've tried to research this question to the best of my ability and i have found some old answers
( http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...028#post416028 )
that suggest customizing the code in the
includes/modules/attributes.php file. i've looked and looked and can not find where i am suppose to remove the () in the attributes.php file.

Help Please

If you search through the attributes.php module you will find several references to:
$products_options_display_price

This is the price and how it will be displayed ...

There are parens added to surround the price and you would need to edit these so as not to have them showing ...

In v1.3.8 these were changed to constants for easier modification, the Developers Tool Kit would show on a search for:
$products_options_display_price

that it is used with:

/includes/modules/attributes.php

Line #145 : $products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .

Line #157 : $products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] . 

There is also in those same sections:
ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX

A search on these would show where they are defined by product type ...

You can use your templates and overrides to change the defines and not need to touch the code ...

Just so happens I was looking to do the same thing. I got it to work by commenting a line out around where the previous poster was pointing to.

I commented out:

else {
$products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .
$currencies->display_price($new_attributes_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX;
                        }

My editor is Coda and that is around line 158-161 or so.

Have been searching the forum all day (FAQs and Forum) and have tried different suggestions to remove the parenthesis around the attribute prices. Unfortunately, I must be interpreting the directions wrong... When I remove a "(" or comment out a line from includes/modules/attributes.php (example below), nothing works...

$products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .

Is there any way someone can post exactly how to do this with the parenthesis to be removed highlighted in a different color? Or perhaps provide a before and after example of the edits?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Did you try customizing the file:

includes/languages/english/product_info.php
Line #42 : define('ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX', ' ( ');

And change to read:

define('ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX', ' ');

And the line:

/includes/languages/english/product_info.php
Line #43 : define('ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX', ' )');

to read:

define('ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX', ' ');

Thanks for the update that editing the language files was able to customize the look of the Attribute prices ...

Cheers

Keep in mind that this is built into Zen Cart and can be changed in the language files with your templates and overrides rather than touching in the code files ...
