Make 'Hide Price' really hide the price!

Nothing looks more like a mistake than a price of $0.00! Yet some vendors disallow the showing of pricing on the web and don't allow direct online ordering of certain items. They do, however, allow these items be displayed online without pricing and ordered by phone.
Checking 'Disable purchase' removes the 'Add to Basket' button, which is good. The 'Add to Wishlist' is also removed, which is not necessarily good.
Checking 'Hide Price' does hide the price -- BUT it replaces it with 'Click for pricing' link which displays the supposedly hidden price in a popup. This makes no sense!
I tried replacing the prices with 'CALL', but being a numeric field, it displays as $0.00.
Checking 'Hide Price' should totally hide the price and optionally replace it with text (Call 800-123-4567).
Checking 'Disable purchase' should give me the option to leave 'Add to Wishlist' enabled.

I agree... AbleCommerce has got to be have most wackiest interpretation of "hide prices". If the admin is trying to hide a price, how does a popup link still mean hiding the price???

by the way, you can disable the link in /ConLib/Utility/ProductPrice.acsx.cs
Add to the end of Page_Init:
ShowPriceLink.Enabled = false;

I think the reason they did it that way is because it will allow a price to show when the merchant is not supposed to show on with a MAP pricing agreement, but they can show one if they don't "advertise" it.

I think so too. This is the way Amazon displays 1000's of prices that are "hidden" due to MAP pricing rules. In my personal travels through the e-commerce world, I cannot recall ever seeing "call for price" in a situation that looked like MAP rules...or if I did, I left in such a hurry it left no lasting impression. I have seen many "call for price" products that require a quote because they have complicated pricing rules or the vendor is open to negotiation.
It makes sense to have an option to display text instead of price.

Is it possible to modify the code to check for a price of zero and display CALL FOR PRICING?

Yes possible, you need to handle this in ConLib/Utilit/ProductPrice.ascx control

Hello.
I'm not a developer and I'm new to the ablecommerce cart. I need to hide the product prices to anonymous users and visible only to registered users. I don't know how to go about this, as I mentioned I'm very new to development work. So any assistance you could supply would be most appreciated.
Big thanks.

Where you want to show/hide products prices if in CategoryGridPage.ascx then locate this code
Code: Select all
<uc:ProductPrice ID="Price" runat="server" Product='<%#Container.DataItem%>' ShowRetailPrice="true" />
and replace with this code
Code: Select all
<uc:ProductPrice ID="Price" runat="server" Visible='<%# !Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous %>' Product='<%#Container.DataItem%>' ShowRetailPrice="true" />
.

Hello.
I did as instructed but it still shows the price somehow. Could I have missed something?
Again, thanks.

The store has a one-page anonymous checkout. Does this need to be disabled or removed, in order to have the prices show only for registered users?

You need to put this Check
Code: Select all
Visible='<%# !Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous %>'
everywhere manually where product price is displayed.
But if you need only in OnePageCheckout.ascx
locate this code
Code: Select all
<asp:GridView ID="BasketGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
ShowFooter="False" Width="100%" SkinID="PagedList">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Shipment">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemTemplate>
<%# GetShipmentNumber(Container.DataItem) %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="SKU">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemTemplate>
<%# ProductHelper.GetSKU(Container.DataItem) %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Item">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ProductPanel" runat="server" Visible='<%#((OrderItemType)Eval("OrderItemType") == OrderItemType.Product)%>'>

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="OtherPanel" runat="server" Visible='<%#((OrderItemType)Eval("OrderItemType") != OrderItemType.Product)%>' EnableViewState="false">

</asp:PlaceHolder>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Tax">

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Qty">

Thanks, s_ismail. I appreciate all the help.
But I ran into a snag, the prices of recently viewed items don't show even when logged in.

Hello again.
Could you also help me as to what I could add to this line of code so that the price could be seen only if you were logged in?
Code: Select all
<uc:ProductPrice ID="OurPrice" runat="server" EnableDefaultKitProducts="false" />
My knowledge here is vastly insufficient but I've began some tutorials and classes but it's still way over my head. Really big thanks.

Replace with this one
Code: Select all
<uc:ProductPrice ID="OurPrice" runat="server" EnableDefaultKitProducts="false" Visible='<%# !Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous %>' />

Hey, thanks.
I replaced the code with what you suggested and the price still shows:
Any idea how I can hide it when the user is not logged in? I may have supplied the wrong code to fix.
Thanks again. Really appreciate it.

You need to control it everywhere where price is displayed..
Give a try by this one.
Locate this code in 'buyproductdialog.ascx.cs'
Code: Select all
if (!_Product.UseVariablePrice)
{
trOurPrice.Visible = true;
trVariablePrice.Visible = false;
}
and replace with this one
Code: Select all
if (!_Product.UseVariablePrice)
{
trOurPrice.Visible = !Token.Instance.User.IsAnonymous;
trVariablePrice.Visible = false;
}
.
