Can't get rid of price when priced by attribute

[avansant]

I have a cart that, if I set up a product as priced by attribute and price set to zero, the price disappears as it should:

http://www.cleosfineoils.com/shop/in...roducts_id=217

Unfortunately, that only applies to new products. All the products we imported through webgility, refuse to stop showing the price, even when it is set as "priced by attribute" and price set to zero.

http://www.cleosfineoils.com/shop/in...products_id=98

I've checked and double checked it 1000 times and combed the database, but I can't find what is turned ON for the second product that isn't in the first. It must be some default setting that came over with the import preventing us from turning off that price the usual way, but what?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Without access to your admin, my guess is the price exists in the attributes controller or there's a custom code on the tpl_product_info_display.php.

Let me know.

Ah, you're totally right. We realized after getting away from the situation for a while that it had nothing to do with import - it was that the lowest attribute price was showing up as the price. That one that did NOT show the price just didn't have the attributes yet. Is there a way to edit the product template so that the price DOES show there (the main price area) if it is priced by price, but does NOT show there if it is priced by attribute?

If this helps, pretty sure this is the code, but I can't seem to take anything out without the price not showing for regularly priced products as well.

<?php
// base price
if ($show_onetime_charges_description == 'true') {
$one_time = '<span >' . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_SYMBOL . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_DESCRIPTION . '</span><br />';
} else {
$one_time = '';
}
echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);
?>

By default the code will see the product price if it's not set to priced by attributes. Did someone set every product to priced by attribute when they are not? Are there any import/export data modules installed?

Price by Attribute is designed to use the lowest price in the Option Name/Value groups to make up the displayed price ...

If you do not want the Attributes used in calculating the displayed price, then you need to mark the Attribute not to be included in the base price ...

Include in Base Price
When Priced by Attributes

See if doing that will block the cheapest combined price from being displayed ...

I am trying to do something very similar but slightly different and I am sure this is somewhere but I can't seem to find the answer. I want to display the product price for display purposes but do not want the product price included in the shopping cart calculation when selecting attributes. For example a sofa and loveseat is displayed as $749. But buyers may want to just purchase only the sofa ($300) instead of the sofa and loveseat. However, when selecting the attribute of sofa, it adds the product price giving a total of $1049 instead of $300.

Set the product to $0, priced by attributes to yes then set each attribute to have a price and be included in base price

I tried that but then it goes back to displaying the lower price only. I am trying to have it display the group price for display purposes but not include the base price in the calculation when selecting attributes at product info.

Sounds like you need to use Twitch List Price, and change the wording :)

Then you put the group price of the furniture in the 'list_price' field and the product and attributes work just as they should.

Change the display 'List Price: ' to whatever you'd like.
