Yeah i understand, and i'm not overly concerned with the prices being shown in emails or saved quotes etc....once they have requested for the quote they can see the price wherever.. thanks again |

Happy to help - The tweak I gave doesn't impact any prices shown in a drop-down selection box, or radio buttons AFAIK, but If your not using them it's not an issue.
Don't forget to work through the full "customer experience" - checking other places the option prices may be given such as emails, saved quotes, checkout process etc. |

Kyle,
I've taken a look at the version of configurePrdCode I have - which is V3.11. To hide the lines on BTO items that are selectable via TICK BOXES search for 14%. You should find the following lines :- <td width="14%"> <div align="right"> <% if pnoprices<2 then%><%=scCurSign & money(prdPrice)%><%end if%> </div> The text I have highlighted in blue is the code that displays the price next to tick boxes. Change it to something like :- <td width="14%"> <div align="right"> <% if pnoprices<2 then%><% ' [RVCW - Comment out option prices] =scCurSign & money(prdPrice)%><%end if%> </div> The KEY thing is the ' which comments out the code - the rest of the text is to assist in finding changes that ay need to be RE-APPLIED whenever you upgrade the code. See http://www.earlyimpact.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1460&am p;PN=3 for thoughts on keeping track of changes. Then search for the NEXT 14% where you will find almost identical code - repeat the change there as well. Apologies if I'm "teaching grandma to suck eggs" here - I've no idea what your skill / experience levels are & anyway, others may find it useful. I only looked at the tick boxes as per your example page - I also strongly suggest checking all the other pages where the option prices may be revealed - Recalled quote/estimate - emails that are sent etc. HTH |

I'm sure you are right. I'll let you know when I've taken a look tomorrow.

I believe the code changes need to be made in the configurePrdCode.asp page. My asp knowledge is sketchy at best. Any help appreciated

yes they are aware that with a calculator the cost can be figured...they just do not want it shown......hiding the option price always would be just fine with me...

Hamish - the pricing restriction the manufacturers are enforcing may be similar to the MAP pricing rules of (for example) the electronics industry. Manufacturers don't want certain levels of discount pricing visible on the sites until the item is placed in the cart.
An example would be the products marked "see our price" on http://www.starmarinedepot.com/. I have this mod for PC stores as well, but the store where I did it doesn't seem to have any products coded for that pricing model at the present time. |

Hi Greg, That's what I tried the 1st time it failed - with no joy, still, my later attempt just went straight there - the wonders of the web :-)

The link is working for me now! - First 2 attempts failed - ah well.
Do you ALWAYS want to hide the option prices, or to be able to select when this is done? - The former is likely to be a much simpler solution. Are they aware it's a very simple task, even with the option prices hidden, to work out the cost of each option - either mentally or with a calculator - just untick / tick & do the math. Hiding the option price is really a psychological thing I guess, but if that's what they want that's fine. |
