Catalog Only at Product Level

Post by mfreeze » Mon Feb 18, 2008 9:57 am

Need the ability to make only selected products 'catalog only' items or the ability to suppress the 'click here for pricing' when 'hide price' and 'disable purchase' are both selected for a product.

Hello Mary,

I checked and it's called 'Disable Purchase' on the product editing page.

Mike,
I tried that plus 'hide price' and still got the 'click here for pricing' link. We want this to not appear if purchase is disabled.

Hello Mary,

Just use the one feature 'Disable Purchase' not the others.

I have tried combinations of Prohibited, Disable Purchase, and Hide Price and can find none that suppresses the display of pricing data. Prohibited removes shopping cart ability, and hide price doesn't initially show product pricing but is clickable to display it.

I need to suppress any display of pricing by product as for some new product we can only sell in store and can not display pricing other than in the store.

Have I missed something?

I had tried this myself on AC7 SR1a and found that only one of them would work at a time. I looked in the code some and I think it's in the logic in the .cs file, but I had to go on to something else.

Mazhar,
Are you lurking here? I know you can figure it out.

Thanks Judy,

Like I said, I have tried all the combinations of the above three switches and the result is that pricing is still viewable. Hide price prevents the price from initially showing but with a "Click Here" link, displays it on request.

I need to prevent access to pricing at the product level and also be able to not allow it to be purchased on-line, which the Disable Purchase and Prohibited switches do just fine.

I am wondering if the option to display under the Hide Price switch is controlled by the script used to display product? I will look at what options the different ConLib choices provide.

The code I was looking at is in Conlib/Utility/ProductPrice.ascx.cs. Now that I look at it again, I remembered that the client had products that used the variable price because of add-on cost of custom engraving that used that code, but he also wanted some of those products to not show a price because of some vendor requirement. The hide price and uses variable price were the two combinations I couldn't get to work together.

Thanks Judy,

That does look like where the changes will have to be made.

I would have thought Hide Price would be more definitive than it is. I will look at making that attribute work as expected in our install.

I was just wondering if anyone has a solution to hide the price completely if disable purchase is selected?
