Hi, I'm configuring the language overrides for Price and need to add some text at the beginning of the price displayed in the products category listing. Each product has several variants so the price displayed here is the From price so I'd like it to say, for example 'From £ 1.00' each rather than just '£ 1.00 each'. I've tried the override PRICE_BEGINNING="" but this also changes the price displayed on the individual product pages where the price changes dynamically so I dont want the 'From'.

Is there a way of limiting an override to a particular page or view? or is there another way of doing this?

I hope I have explained that ok!

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks to edit the view "product / listing_price" and add: Just before:
This will restrict the display of this text only on the listings.

hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...ize-the-display.html

Thanks! That has done it, just what I needed. Starting to LOVE Hikashop!

Edit. but see my next post!!!

Actually this didn't work, well it did for the individual products but I just noticed that it also changes the Price on the check out page in the in the Shopping basket! Not sure what to do now? How can I restrict Prices From to just the Category listing page. Can I edit the view for the cart and checkout pages in the same way?

You need to do the same change in the file "listing_price" of the view "checkout".

No luck, that didnt work. Sorry about this.
This is the code from line 16 and 17 of the file "listing_price" of the view "checkout".

if(JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'show')
echo JText::_('PRICE_BEGINNING');

But is still get a cart showing Prices From that I have in the override PRICE_BEGINNING. Im sure Im doing something wrong oe editing the wrong place in the file?

Hi,

Yes, the checkout does not have any "show" layout ; it use the "step" layout.

Regards,

Hi
i read the documentation and all is well explain . but

1) available value for if(JRequest::getCmd('checkout') != 'step')
for checkout step i can see the directory path com_hikashop\views\checkout\tmpl\step.php
and the Jrequest can be : if(JRequest::getCmd('checkout') != 'step')
for i "layout" "show" duo i find no "layout" directory name inside views directory
views/product/tmpl/show.php
views/order/tmpl/show.php
views/adress/tmpl/show.php

2) accessibility of variable /value
can i know more about in which file i can call for example if(JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'show') ? Does layout show are local or general variable refer to joomla ?, php ?
does thoses item zre accessible inside all files locate under com_hikashop ?
In a way in C/java and i think php , the value in some case can be access using location ( a pointer ) and acessible inside a function a file or all project or any project ( static) . I don't read such documentation about local global tempory variable in joomla . I could write wrong thing but understand joomla create a php layer on around php with specific syntax way to parse generate html code .

3) value manage by joomla BE html gui ?
does value "layout" and "show" are set using the HKS BackEnd GUI ?
I don't find where ?

4) Does the problem is about "From" label that is near "price" ?
@geospectrum , I want to understand the problem using capture image . Could you confirm my before after capture screen focus on your problem ?



5) checkout documentation
@jerome
I understand that product page call many sub layout php page when read the link for product page customization hikashop.com/support/support/documentati...ize-the-display.html . Is there documentation for checkout page customization another like this page that show sub layout like for product customization ? ( see below capture screen not finished)






I really begin to understand that joomla Extension like HKS is like css framework bootstrap : it is a starting point ( boilerplate) that can be easely customize
- show information or not
- manage different workflow ( real /virtual products , payment , shipping)
-send confirmation feedback information by mail or web account about billing
-manage pdf hikaserial ticket to print

the name of this post should not be language ( RTL EN DE ) override but content override ( merge data ).

lionel75,

You asked me.

4) Does the problem is about "From" label that is near "price" ?

I was using;

if(JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'show')
echo JText::_('PRICE_BEGINNING');

But it did not work so i used:
if(JRequest::getCmd('layout') != 'step')
echo JText::_('PRICE_BEGINNING');

Which worked and gave me this:



which is what i need.

Thanks.

Hi,

1. The code:
if(JRequest::getCmd('checkout') != 'step')
is not correct. It should be:
if(JRequest::getCmd('task') != 'step')

2. That's joomla things. You can use that code anywhere in HikaShop, or Joomla.
docs.joomla.org/API17:JRequest

3. I don't understand your question ? the name of the layouts/views is decided by us when we code our extensions. There is no option in the backend to change them.

4. Look at the view file checkout/cart.php
For some prices, we use the listing_price view file, for some we directly use the format function of the currencyHelper.

5. We didn't do it yet for the checkout, but that's a good idea.

@jerome
what do you mean by " directly use the format function of the currencyHelper" ?
( which function in in which files ? )

Hi,

@lionel75
Why to me ?
I did not write that...

If you have question on HikaShop, please create new topics, don't use topic of other for other problems.
You going in a total different subject that the original subject here. So I will highly recommend you to open a new threads for your question.

@GeoSpectrum
Good to know that your problem is solved

Regards,

Note : If you look in these four files, you'll see that only the classes/currency.php file has a function called format defined in it, so I'm talking about this one
