Hiding Price when an item is out of stock only?

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.lotuswithingallery.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.28
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Safari 8.0.5

Salut, Nicolas, Xavier etc,

I have a client who is more like a gallery and wants to hide the price of an item when the item has sold but YET show that it is sold.

So I can change the 'No Stock' language string to 'SOLD', but that doesn't solve the part about removing/hiding the price.... HELP?

To be clear, this is only supposed to hide the price WHEN the item has a stock of 0.

I tried looking in the forums or in the configuration for such a feature/idea but no luck ;(

I'd really like to do this WITHOUT modifying a Hikashop View if possible.

Merci,

Emmanuel

Salut Nicolas,

And what does the Master of Hikashop think of adding this option so that Galleries can still show off a piece of art that they 'had' but Sold successfully.

For a Gallery, 'hiding' the product is a detriment/bad thing because then the possible client doesn't see what sort of pieces
the Gallery collects. But pricing is something that is typically removed after the sale.

Ideally the option to do this would be at the product level so that there is the most flexibility - next to the Quantity Box perhaps? [This 'could' allow someone to also hide the price even when there is a quantity and if you were to go to that level [crossing double-fingers] THEN the next functionality would be a 'Ask for Price' feature just like you see on so many sites like NewEgg or Best Buy and others for those items for which they can not advertise the price but if you put it in your cart the price displays or you email them you find out the price

(crossing-fingers) that it will be in v2.5.1

Salut Nicolas,

Without trying to sound mean or anything - HOW does that solve the problem?

Removing the price from an item does NOT solve the problem requested - as the item becomes 'Free'...

The only way around this would be to change Free to SOLD but then if the client wants to have SOLD items AND Free ones this method does not work

As for the Ask for a Price feature - Awesome - I hadn't understood that to be what Display a contact button on the product page but I guess it makes sense now thanks!

Cheers,

Emmanuel

Salut Nicolas,

" The way you do, where you modify the code in the override file is not the best for forward compatibility. The best is actually to remove the whole code in the override and just include the original file. That way, you can add your condition at the top of the override in order to use or not the standard listing_price view file. So you get the updates to the view file and you still have that extra condition to it."

I was doing it this way because that's what you guys had recommended years ago so if there is a new enter way AWESOME, the only problem is I didn't understand the explanation that you just gave for the better way?

Si c'est plus facile une explication en Français que je peux traduire?

Thanks as always,

Emmanuel

Salut Nicolas,

I did exactly as you described but it is not really matching expectation...

The product image is there, the description is but now the ENTIRE price/quantity block is gone.

So there is no SOLD or Free wording - it's all gone and if I look in the generated code:

<div id="hikashop_product_right_part" class="hikashop_product_right_part ">
<div id="hikashop_product_vote_mini" class="hikashop_product_vote_mini">
</div>
<span id="hikashop_product_price_main" class="hikashop_product_price_main">
</span>
<br>
<br>
<span id="hikashop_product_price_with_options_main" class="hikashop_product_price_with_options_main">
</span>
<div id="hikashop_product_quantity_main" class="hikashop_product_quantity_main">
</div>
<div id="hikashop_product_contact_main" class="hikashop_product_contact_main">
</div>
<div id="hikashop_product_tags_main" class="hikashop_product_tags"></div>
<span id="hikashop_product_id_main" class="hikashop_product_id_main">
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="372">
</span>
</div>

it doesn't seem to have been generated at all... [no errors or warnings either]

[See screenshot]

Any idea?

Hi Nicolas,

I wish...

You made me doubt so I checked but it was the right template and Product ---> listing_price, wasn't it?

If so ---

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Salut Nicolas,

If I remove the change and bring back the file to the original version [no modifications],
then it shows Free (I have set the price to 0 for this item) as you had suggested.

but doesn't help.

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Salut Nicolas,

I guess this is a case of not 100% understanding each other...

I will try to explain it better.

This is for a Gallery type website [but they do have a physical store as well FYI], the aim is to have it still say SOLD
YET no ability to buy the product and still have it SHOW the product AND still give us the ability to have Free products for other products.

This ideally can be achieved by this new method of overriding that you showed me AND changing a couple of language strings
like FREE_PRICE="Free" or other language strings if need be...

I hope this helps!

Cheers, Emmanuel.

Hi,

So you can use the code given by Nicolas previously with a little modification, so add the following code at the top of the view "product / listing_price" (between php tags):

if($this->row->product_quantity==0){
	echo JText::_('SOLD');
	return;
}

Salut Xavier et Nicolas,

EUREKA - je crois bien!

Merci...

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Hello,

I did this, it works but and now the cart total value is missing!
Is there a way to hide the price of the sold out products AND show the total?

Eric
