Category displays price when variants are present

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:

	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();
	}

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();
	}
}

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

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