Category displays price when variants are present was created by keithyoung89

The shop has a product, within a sub-category, that has 2 characteristics (size and style) and variants - price (per size) and quantity (per style). The main product has no price defined, price being defined by variant. However, when the sub-category to which the product belongs is displayed, it shows a price of '£20 each' (the lowest price defined by variant). This is misleading, as the price is variant depending on size. How can I prevent the display of the price when the sub-category is displayed? Please see the image attached - the '£20 each' should not be there. Thanks.

Hi,

One solution could be to create a custom field on the table product and with the label "displayprice" in HikaShop > Display > Custom fields, then edit the view "product / listing_img_title" in HikaShop > Display > Views.

In this view replace the code:

Code:

	if($this->params->get('show_price','-1')=='-1'){
		$config =& hikashop_config();
		$this->params->set('show_price',$config->get('show_price'));
	}
	if($this->params->get('show_price')){
		$this->setLayout('listing_price');
		echo $this->loadTemplate();
	}

By:

Code:

if(isset($this->row->displayprice) && $this->row->displayprice == 'no'){
	if($this->params->get('show_price','-1')=='-1'){
		$config =& hikashop_config();
		$this->params->set('show_price',$config->get('show_price'));
	}
	if($this->params->get('show_price')){
		$this->setLayout('listing_price');
		echo $this->loadTemplate();
	}
}

Then in the product edition page, just set "no" in the custom field for the products with variants.

Thanks - I'll try this in the next day or two. It does seem a bit user-unfriendly to need to amend core code to overcome what seems to be a flaw in the system. Perhaps you could take this on board for future versions? I'll report back on how I get on with your solution.

I am unable to add a custom field to table 'product' via back-end: if I click New, the table selected is Address and is not a drop-down menu to be able to select Product table. So, I tried adding the new field via phpmyAdmin (displayprice, varchar(255)). I amended the code in listing_img_title as you specify (do you need 2 curly brackets at the end of the revised code?) However, I don't see anywhere the new field to input 'no' - what do you mean by the 'product edition'? I assume you mean the page to create/amend product details? Thanks

The "table" dropdown is only available in commercial editions of HikaShop. You must be using the Starter edition which does not allow for that.
You can't just add the field via the database as it's more complex to do.

Yes, I'm using the Starter edition, so I guess this solution can not now be applied.
