Option Prices in Parentheses

[Ajeh]

You might consider making the Physical Gift Certificate a Document Product so that you can customize the code easier on the Attributes based on the products_type ...

Otherwise, when you later want to use Attributes with prices etc. you will not have them there ...

Seems like so much work for a very simple feature...I had a hard time explaining to my boss that I would need to set aside an entire aftrenoon to remove the parentheses...It's a good thing she trusts me! But sometimes issues like this put a strain on that trust...

[amandac]

OK I fixed mine.

This is only for the dropdown box display.

includes/modules/attributes.php

Comment out lines 153 - 158.

// normal price
// if ($new_attributes_price == 0) {
// $products_options_display_price= '';
// } else {
// $products_options_display_price= ' (' . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .
// $currencies->display_price($new_attributes_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . ') ';
// }

Did the trick for me :-)

Well the first part on the weight is just a switch ...

The Price on Dropdowns gets built and is set at around line 165 in the attributes.php

                  $products_options_array[sizeof($products_options_array)-1]['text'] .= 'I AM HERE' . $products_options_display_price; 

Change your line to read that and you can see what all is effected by that line ...

Then set your condition for when it should and should not show the price ...

VERY interesting -- is there a way to do this with overrides so that it won't be affected by an upgrade?

[Ajeh]

That is an override using:

/includes/modules/attributes.php

And going to:
/includes/modules/your_template_dir/attributes.php

However, that has to be checked on upgrades for changes to the original file to see what has to be upgraded on your file ...

Oh hell... I tried that and it did not work for me... looka t my page...

[update] - Sorry you meant the whole parenthese - not just the parenthese to be removed.

I'm really not an an attributer specialist but let's try this out.

Under your includes/modules/attributes.php file,

find:

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

replace with:

$products_options_display_price= ''; 

This should do the trick.

I'm having a similar issue.

Thanks Oracle for that tip. I removed just the parentheses in that part of the code. It would be best (for Gift Certs) if you could show JUST the value without the option name. That way it would not make any difference if you made a mistake (i.e. assigned a $40 value to a "$50" attribute name).

I'm poking around in attributes.php and if I were a programmer I would add something like:

If products_name == 'Gift Certificate'
   $products_options_details = '';

Feel free to fix my code!!


BTW, a less elegant solution is to name your options differently--you CAN have several options with the same name such as "->"
You'll get a warning about "Possible Duplicate Options" but Zen lets you do it.

This might cause some confusion tho'

There is no includes/modules/attributes.php file.
