could I do something like this so the badge shows up for NON members but is hidden when a customer has a membership or will that not work? (not sure if my additional code is correct)
Code:
{if $active_modules.Special_Offers ne "" and $product.have_offers and $_userinfo.membership eq ""}
{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/product_offer_thumb.tpl"}
{/if}
I does remove it completely when I comment out the line like you said but I thought it would be nice to show to customers it is meant for and hide it from everyone else.
