Price display

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.28
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome 36.0.1985
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : n/a

Hi. Two q's pls:

1. Price: I'd like to prefix the prices displayed with "from" e.g. "from $xxx". How and where do I make the change?

2. When I display the cart and it's empty, the error message returned is placed too low for users to see on my homepage. How do I change the display position of this box?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1. You can do so with a language override for the string PRICE_BEGINNING, i.e.

PRICE_BEGINNING="from "

Re. 2:

Hmmm, couldn't wait, so I did a search on JED. Two extensions came up:

(a) Popup System Messages extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a...pups-a-iframes/26551
It's a paid download, so I didn't buy to try. If anyone can confirm it works with HikaShop messages, would be nice to hear.

(b) HS-Message extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/notes/23093
It's free, so I downloaded and tried. Doesn't work with HikaShop "Cart is empty" message, though, maybe just because the plugin is a bit "old" and doesn't work with J3.3.x. Anyway, deleted it again.

Re. 2 - final:

Found a plugin that works: jPopmessages bygiro.com/en/extensions/plugins/jpopmessages

Note that after installing it, you'll need to enable it in the Joomla Plugin Manager, and likely need to play around with settings in its backend, i.e. deactivate the loading of jQuery and Bootstrap to avoid conflicts.

Thanks guys. I'll try out the recommendations!

Lousyfool, both your solutions worked, thanks. One more question (you can no doubt tell I'm quite new to this world):

Q - if I want to have two sets of prices - some stated "from $xx" and others not prefixed i.e. just '$xxx', is that possible? Do I need to create a second class of price somehow, and declare a different value?

Any help would be welcome, thanks

Hello,
If you want to add a "from" before your prices the solution will be to edit the "PRICE_BEGINNING=""" translation word through your translation file "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Languages", but if you want this text to display only for some prices, you'll have to use some code customization, which will require development skills.
