Prices on 'trade' section pages

[jackhartley]

Hi,

I was once given a bit of code by Norman to display product prices on section pages:

<actinic:block php="true" >$prodprice = '';</actinic:block>			
<actinic:block type="ProductList" >
	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%202" >
		<actinic:block php="true" >
		 if ( trim($prodprice) == '' )
			{
			$prodprice = <<<ENDOFCODE
			<actinic:block type="PriceList" >
				<actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" />
			</actinic:block> 
ENDOFCODE;
			}
		</actinic:block>
	</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block php="true" >echo $prodprice;</actinic:block>

I'm currently having an issue with getting this to work for trade customers though. My site only displays product prices to customers that are logged in but I can't seem to get those prices to display on my section pages as well as the actual product page e.g. http://www.wholesaleelectricalsuppli...g/lcd-tvs.html

Does anybody know if this is possible and how would I go about it?

That code you're using only has the basic price layout included in it, it does not have the trade price code included. If you take a look on the product layout, you will see the price layout code is far bigger, you will need to merge the code from a product layout into the section layout, with some fettling and adjusting, pain being you have to upload to see the changes. I can't recall the exact answer but i can recall discussing it on the forum a considerable amount of time ago, so if you get stuck, might be worth a trawl for that. From memory it's to do with the <actinic prices> tag, that is how trade prices are shown. Have you checked the KB too, well worth a check in there.

Try replacing:

			<actinic:block type="PriceList" >
				<actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" />
			</actinic:block>

with:

         <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PriceIsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e">
				<Actinic:PRICES PROD_REF="<actinic:variable Name="ProductID" />" RETAIL_PRICE_PROMPT="<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductPriceDescription"/>">
					<actinic:variable name="PriceListRetail" />
            </Actinic:PRICES>
         </actinic:block>
         <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductPriceIsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20False">
	         <Actinic:NOTINB2B><br /><actinic:variable name="ProductPriceNotEnabledMessage" /></Actinic:NOTINB2B>
         </actinic:block>
         <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsCustomerMessageUsed%22%20%2f%3e">
            <br />
            <Actinic:PRICE_EXPLANATION PROD_REF="<actinic:variable Name="ProductID" />" COMPONENTID=-1><Actinic:Variable Name="RetailCustomerMessage"/></Actinic:PRICE_EXPLANATION>
         </actinic:block>

This may generate more price info than you want so you'll have to work out how to trim it down.

Hi Norman,

Thanks for your help - adding that code displays the message to retail customers that the product is unavailable.

However, it doesn't display the price for customers that are logged in.
