X-Cart forums

[gbuecker]

Is there a way to modify X-cart so I can display a text message instead of price? We cannot list some prices because they are below manufacturers price and they forbid it. I tried the modification to leave out the price altogether if I entered zero but I had no luck. I still get the "Enter a price" line. Also if anybody knows were the text labels are definded, I would like to know (ie. the text for labels in the templates).

Thanks for your help.

you could add a condition in products.tpl and product.tpl when the price is equal to zero...

vincent,

could you possibly provide an example on how to do this? Thanks!

I would like to be able to have people call for pricing for the really expensive items ya know?

how do put text (call for pricing) in the price variable box?

[usermike]

You could provide a condition such as the following:

{if $product.price > 50000}
{$lng.lbl_call_for_price}
{else}
blah blah
{/if}

David,
This scripting is actually Smarty PHP template engine. It is actually quite a nice tool, but a little confusing at first glance. You can learn more at this site and get some good documentation that is instructional.

I found it helpful.

i still dont know what smarty does. do i create my own template by using smarty coding? it doesnt have a front end right? the manual tells me how to script, so i figure i have to go in and try things myself, but it seems more trouble than its worth. i dunno
