Displaying "POA" when no price available

[NormanRouxel]

We / you can't see the BlockIf code as it happens on your desktop. Try putting in some visible display of the variable before you use it.
E.g.

RAW IS: <actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" />
BlockIf
Button Code
/Blockif

This is interesting on the example page where the button is showing:

RAW IS: 30

Mike I added some display code as per Normans recommendation to display the RAWPRICE Value. Now after having done this, here is an example of one product plus a duplicate.
The Original displays - NO PRICE RAW IS:0 http://www.cartridgesonline.co.za/ac...tylus_200.html

The Duplicate displays - RAW IS: 30 with ADDTOCART button http://www.cartridgesonline.co.za/ac...Color_IIs.html

Original is set to Price = 0, hence so is the duplicate.
If you "Click for More..." on the duplicate and it loads the product, it dipslays NO PRICE RAW IS:0
So it seems the Section that houses the duplicate product is where the "error" is.

OK so the problem seems to be with "Reset all Duplicates".

The question that has been asked many times on the Forum is that is there a way to reset the duplicates on all products rather than manually per product (this is not an option that I can do - too many products) and I haven't been able to find an answer??

Norman,
I read on an earlier post that ProductPriceRaw has a problem updating in duplicates on this post.
http://community.sellerdeck.com/showthread.php?p=306621
I need to use ProductPriceRaw in my AddToCart Layout as per previous post but now am totally lost. I tried using Mediamoles Product Duplicates Tool but that didn't help as it doesn't affect ProductPriceRaw.
So the ProductPriceRaw is often incorrect in duplicates makinf the above code of no use?

Which means you should probably use the hack from Norman that's in the link you just gave.

Sample code using a BlockIf and the ProductPriceRaw variable:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductPriceRaw%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%200">
	NO PRICE
</actinic:block>

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductPriceRaw%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%200" >
	HAS PRICE
</actinic:block>

Mike, I guess what I am trying to do is use Norman's hack in the above example which uses the variable ProductPriceRaw. How would one use it to replace the variable?

[Mike Hughes]

It looks to me as if Norman's block of code creates a variable $prprice that can be used as an alternative to ProductPriceRaw:

<actinic:block php="true">
$prprice = 0;
<actinic:block type="PriceList" />
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListIndex%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201" >
$prprice = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','','<actinic:variable name="TaxExclusivePrice" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />');
$prprice = $prprice / pow(10, <actinic:variable name="CurrencyDigits" />);
</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
echo $prprice;
</actinic:block>

As it's in PHP you'll need to replace the Actinic blockif with the PHP equivalent.

I.e. Replace the line in the code above that says #echo $prprice; with something along the lines of:

if ($prprice == 0)
{
echo "No Price";
}
else
{
echo "Has Price";
}

Hi MIke,

Is there anyway of achieving the following using your code?

if ($prprice == 0)
{
echo "><b>PRICE ON APPLICATION"</b>;
}
else
{
echo "<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22CartButtonVisibleToAllCustomers%22%20%2f%3e" >
<!-- This code is used when the cart button is visible to all customers -->
<span class="button-wrapper cart-button-wrapper"><input value="<Actinic:Variable Name="CartButtonText"/>" name="_<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductID"/>" type="submit" class="button cart-button" /></span>
</actinic:block> ";
}

So I have used a bit of HTML etc combined with PHP??? - obviously I am not a programmer.
I want the code to run some HTML if the price is zero or alternatively to display the ADD TO Cart button.
I looked for the variable that Norman's code creates but wasn't able to find it.

If, as Mike says, Normans bit of code creates a new variable, namely $prprice, I cannot see it as a variable in the Design Library??
I am not sure then how I can use this variable.
I am so close but this last hurdle is holding the launch of my new site.
Any help is appreciated.

Try:

if ($prprice == 0)
	{
	echo '<b>PRICE ON APPLICATION</b>';
	}
else
	{
	echo '<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22CartButtonVisibleToAllCustomers%22%20%2f%3e" ><span class="button-wrapper cart-button-wrapper"><input value="<Actinic:Variable Name="CartButtonText" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />" name="_<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductID" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>" type="submit" class="button cart-button" /></span></actinic:block> ';
	}

It works here.

Thanks once again Norman, problem solved...
