Product Listing Page - Show "Starting at..." Text

[MortalWombat]

Hi

I've been looking around for a solution to this, but have only come across one thread that covers what I'm wanting to do, and it used a solution that is no good for me (find it here http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...t-Listing-Page).

The solution on that particular thread was altering the header text. What I want to do is the following:

If a product is available with two options -- let's say Small for $5 and Large for $10 -- the product listing page simply shows $5. Once inside the actual product description page, there is the "Starting at: $5" wording.

We have had feedback from our clients that the low price shown on the product listing page is misleading... We'd like to alter this so that the "Starting at" wording also shows on the product listing page.

Hoping someone has some ideas on how I can incorporate this.

Thanks in advance,
Tija

You could customize the module:
/includes/modules/product_listing.php

using your templates and overrides and add the code in RED:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE':
        $lc_price = zen_get_products_display_price($listing->fields['products_id']) . '<br />';
        $lc_align = 'right';
if (zen_has_product_attributes($listing->fields['products_id'])) {
 $lc_price = TEXT_BASE_PRICE . $lc_price;
}
        $lc_text =  $lc_price;

OK -- thanks for that, Ajeh.

The only problem is that the snippet of code you have supplied adds "Starting at..." to all products with attributes, not just the ones with differing prices through attributes.

Is there any way to modify the code a little so that it only shows the "Starting at..." wording on products that have priced attributes?

Thanks,
Tija

Try using this code in RED:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_PRICE':
        $lc_price = zen_get_products_display_price($listing->fields['products_id']) . '<br />';
        $lc_align = 'right';
// bof: Add Starting at to prices with Attributes with prices
if (zen_has_product_attributes($listing->fields['products_id'])) {
  global $db;
  $chk_attributes = $db->Execute("SELECT products_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " WHERE products_id ='" . $listing->fields['products_id'] . "' and options_values_price !=0");
  if ($chk_attributes->RecordCount() > 0) {
    $lc_price = TEXT_BASE_PRICE . $lc_price;
  }
}
// eof: Add Starting at to prices with Attributes with prices
        $lc_text =  $lc_price;

        // more info in place of buy now
