Displaying Price in Section Link

[TraceyHand]

actually, I can use that too because I resorted to drastic measures to display a fragment image above a product listing, on a SPP, today (I coded it into the section list with a blockif to test for PageName!)

Might fix that while I think about it LOL

Thanks (again!) Norman!

Just edited my last post so it skips any product with £0 price.

Just edited my last post so it skips any product with £0 price.

oooh..now, is that wise?
What if a SPP product is set with £0 price and 'sum of components'?
(some of mine are)
Just wondering

edit...would it be better to test for the 'can be ordered online' box being checked instead? To allow for those who use products as fragments etc

In that case you'd not have a price to display anyway as the basic product price is all we can show and that would be £0 and Actinic shows nothing in these case.

Sorry, I misunderstood your edit. I thought you were saying that the new code skipped fragments and zero price products but I realize you meant it skipped zero price products only when pulling the price.

Much appreciated, Norman, thank you.

This thread just keeps popping up, time and time again!

I'm SURE I'd read something but can't find it now.

Is there a way to get this method, of pulling the product details into the section link, to ONLY show details from the FIRST product on a page where there may be more than one product listed?

Were you thinking of a similar thread where you can pick up a section image from the first product image in a section?

Thanks, Jo, I'm already doing that anyway.
I had seen that but it wasn't quite the problem I was having (as I'm creating cut down loadings (description/price etc) pulled from the product too, not just a section image.

I have a product that does not have product price but uses 'Sum of Components', would I be right in assuming (based on Norman's quote in post #49) there is no way of displaying 'From £2.95' where £2.95 is the lowest price in 2 attribute permutation grid.

I think I know the answer but thought I would check.

Afraid it's only the basic product price that will display.

I have found an acceptable alternative searching the forum which seems to do what I require: Displaying "from price" when using components

As I am using 'Sum of Components' I can enter a product price which will be ignored in calculating the price but will still display.
I can also create a BlockIf with:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PricingModel%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201"> from </actinic:block>

to add the word 'From' to any price display where 'sum of components' is used.

It works on a product page, just need to try it in a section link page.

UPDATE: I have now tested it and appears to work OK in section links on a section page.

[TraceyHand]

Nice one Darren. Will be interested in testing that.

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

seems to do the trick for me within my section layout, please note this is base on 1 product per section.

This doesn't work if the item on the page is a duplicate product, unless you manually hit the "reset duplicate" button on the master product. As we have over 900 products, hitting the "reset" button that many times every time we have a price change is a bit tedious.

Any Ideas?

Now this is very interesting, thanks for posting it.

I've been playing about with it with a view to making a few modes to fit in with my design, I'm wondering what I need to do to remove the quantity box, I've tried the obvious hack of removing the

<span class="actrequired"><Actinic:Variable Name="QuantityPrompt"/></span><br>
<input type="text" name="Q_<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductReference"/>" size="4" value="<Actinic:Variable Name="DefaultQuantity"/>" class="form_input_general" />

but it breaks the code

Thanks for this guys. I was wondering if there is a way to display just the add to cart button at section link level?

Thanks,

Matt

[leehack]

Yes that's possible, just remove the bits you don't want showing, it doesn't all have to be there, it's just an option, although price wants to be there of course.

[10thWay]

Thanks Lee, that's exactly my problem, as I'm not a coder, I tried to remove bits of the code but it broke. Would you be able to show me the code I need to use to just have the add to cart button?
