Remove price from kit drop-down menu

[wave_werks]

Howdy folks!

I'm trying to figure out how to prevent the price " - ($0.00)" or " - ($25.00)" from being displayed on the drop-down menus for kitted products. I have used both the options/variants and kits/bundles with many products. All of the options/variants menus are displayed without a price while all of the kit/bundle menus display " - ($x.xx)".

If this cannot be achieved is it then possible to replace the " - " with " + " so that the menu shows that a price is being added rather than appearing to subtract the price?

Thanks, as always, for any help you may provide!

Edit your App_Code/ProductHelper.cs file and locate the following function

Code: Select all

public static List<int> BuildKitOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions)

and replace its code with following updated one

Code: Select all

public static List<int> BuildKitOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions)

This should be a option per kit item

This should be a option per kit item

Sounds reasonable, I just created an enhancement request for this.

[wave_werks]

Edit your App_Code/ProductHelper.cs file and locate the following function

Code: Select all

public static List<int> BuildKitOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions)

and replace its code with following updated one

I replaced the function with the code you provided and received the following error...

Code: Select all

Server Error in '/' Application.

I am a complete novice with this stuff so I have no idea what to do to resolve the error.

[wave_werks]

For a completely different website is it possible to replace the " - " with " + " so that the menu shows that a price is being added rather than appearing to subtract the price?

[mazhar]

I replaced the function with the code you provided and received the following error...

It seems that you didn't replaced the things properly and some brace is missing. Revert your changes and then carefully locate

Code: Select all

public static List<int> BuildKitOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions)
{
..................................
..................................
..................................
}

and replace it with the above code so that starting function brace must have the ending brace at end.

Yes it will be very easy. All you need is to replace the desired string instead of removing it. Here is updated code for this change.

Code: Select all

public static List<int> BuildKitOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions)
    {
        List<int> selectedChoices = new List<int>();
        foreach (ProductKitComponent pkc in product.ProductKitComponents)
        {
            KitComponent component = pkc.KitComponent;
            if (component.InputType != KitInputType.IncludedHidden && component.KitProducts.Count > 0)
            {
                // CREATE A LABEL FOR THE ATTRIBUTE
                phOptions.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<tr><th class=\"rowHeader\">" + component.Name + ":</th>"));
                // ADD THE CONTROL TO THE PLACEHOLDER
                phOptions.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<td align=\"left\">"));
                WebControl o = component.GetControl();

Rookie mistake. I replaced only the one line you mentioned with all of the code. For some reason I didn't thing to replace the whole "function" as you stated in your instructions. Works perfectly now.

Thanks!!!

Here is the code to trim price off items in a component marked as included shown

I see this was never added as a option per kit item.

How can I remove the price only if it is a bulleted list of kit items?
