Removing Including VAT text from sub-scetion layout

[Cal]

Hi

Version 8.2.5

I need the product to show the Price with VAT as seen here:
http://www.appuru.co.uk/acatalog/tri...-cleanser.html

But I do not want the VAT message: '(Including VAT at 17.5%)' to show on the previous level as it does here:

http://www.appuru.co.uk/acatalog/trilogy-face-care.html

The product I am talking about is the Trilogy Balancing Gel Cleanser, not the other two products in this section. Trilogy Balancing Gel Cleanser is set up correctly at the product level but basically I don't want to show the 'Including VAT etc' text at the thumbnail level?

I've tried many computations of the switches but to no avail.

Any thoughts?

When you say at thumbnail level - are you referring to a duplicate in a parent section? If so then you can set a block around the 'including VAT' text with a test for it being a Duplicate.
<actinic:variable name="DuplicateIndex" /> > 0

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Not too sure what you mean. The structure of the pages is this:

Section - Shop By Brand
Sub Section - Trilogy
Sub Sub Section - Trilogy Face Care
Sub Sub Sub Section - Trilogy Balancing Gel Cleanser
Product Trilogy Balancing Gel Cleanser

It's set up so that there is one product per page, the preceding page being a compact list of products with details.

When you say block out what do you mean? Hide it with a graphic?

.. the preceding page being a compact list of products with details. ...

In the layout for the compact list of products you can place a blockif test around the 'including VAT' text. The test being what I mentioed in my above post. If this is the same (price) layout used in the main product then create a copy of it, rename it, add the block and then apply it to as required.

Read in the help about conditional blocks.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. This is not coming easy to me.

I notice that in the layout there is a block around the tax text. When I click this I get a Condition Editor with the following already in there:

<actinic:variable name="IsTaxMessageShown" />

It seems that by adding some kind of logic here, then I could hide the Inlcuding VAT text?

Just don't know what i should input to hide it?

Hi

I think I'm getting there, thanks for your help thus far. When you say make a copy of it where am I making the copy of the price layout?

You could start by reading Gabe's excellent block tutorial series of threads.

Hi

Thanks I'll look out for those threads...in the meantime I have managed to do all of the above and it works...however, when I go to choose my new price layout with your block code input all seems well until I go to look at the code in design and it's still pullin in the old price layout......

Hello All

It seems that I am able to apply the alternative new product price layout with the added block above, to the product but not to the section above it where the product details are laid out in edited form. I've been at this for hours and cannot get the section level (thumbnails with product image price and more info button) to use the new product price layout (merely without the '(Including VAT at 17.5%)' text . Actinic lets me select the new layout in content but in design it is being ignored and just using the original layout.

Sometimes I think that Actinic is just too convoluted. What should be a simple process is rendered nauseatingly complex, and the processes bare no relation to any other web skill standards.

I have hacked similar for the new arrivals list ... don't have that site on this machine but from memory in entailed creating a new price list (and price layout) and block if'ing (is that a word?) the code there and using that price list to display in the new arrivals

Are you saying that the variable still shows the old layout name? Try right-clicking on the variable and select 'Edit Appearance' and you should then be able to select your new layout in the 'Use Fixed Layout' field.
