Here's a tricky one - have a client who we are displaying the price on the category page with 'Starting at' in front of it for products with options using this:

{if $products[product].is_product_options}

However, he would only like this to display for products that are variants with a specific option class - in this case 'size'. So products that have an option with the class of 'size' will show 'starting at' while products that have an option class of 'flavor' will not. Version 4.1.10. Any ideas?

It's quite simple
find in your skin1/customer/main/product.tpl

<tr><td class="ProductPriceConverting" valign="top">{$lng.lbl_price}:

and replace with

<tr><td class="ProductPriceConverting" valign="top">{$lng.lbl_price} {foreach from=$product_options item=v}{if $v.class|lower eq 'size'}starting at{/if}{/foreach}:

Sorry I have missed that you need this in category.
add in your products.php before the line

$smarty->assign("products",$products);

this:

foreach($products as &$pp){
$pp['product_options'] = func_get_product_classes($pp['productid'], false);
}

and every product from your $products array will contain additional array with product options
so you just need to edit skin1/customer/main/products.tpl and skin1/customer/main/products_t.tpl as it was figured in my previous post

No luck with that Victor. There's an extra & in your php (before $pp) but even removing that doesn't do anything. Any other ideas?

This & is necessary to pass the element of array by reference so it should present because $products array won't be modified without it.
But I have found another bug (error message for the categories with no products in it)
so try with

if (count($products))
    foreach($products as &$pp){
        $pp['product_options'] = func_get_product_classes($pp['productid'], false);
    }

in products.php

and

{foreach from=$products[product].product_options item=v}{if $v.class|lower eq 'size'}starting at{/if}{/foreach}

for skin1/customer/main/products.tpl

Well that causes a smarty error

[balinor]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /public_html/new/products.php on line 106

Try this php:

PHP Code:

foreach($products as $k=>$v){
     $products[$k]['product_options'] = func_get_product_classes($products[$k]['productid'], false);
}

Thanks Ralph - no smarty error from that, but no 'starting at' showing either. Other ideas?
