Remove Prices From Front Page?

[lwilliams114]

Is there a way to remove prices from front page using admin or do I have to do a mod?
Thank you,

again, we get to the question... where? in the specials module? just where are proces showing up?

The catagories are on the left and when I click on one of them it brings me to a small image of the product with the price and buy option. I don't want the price or buy option to be there until the image is clicked and the details of the image is shown then I want the price and buy now to be there. Thanks

The prices also show up in the 'New Products for May' section on front page and I also want to remove those and the buy button.
Would still like to remove the 'new products for may' words and put the products I want in there but haven't figured that out yet.
Thanks

I have no idea what /includes/functions/product_listing you are using (there are two, the standard product_listings and the one for columns), but that's where you can remove the price and buy now fields from displaying in the product_listings for the items in the categories.

The /includes/modules/new_products.php has it's own listing component in-line and if you look for $currencies->display_price you will find where to remove prices.

You may also want to edit includes/boxes/whats_new.php ($whats_new_price is the price line)

Then there is: templates/fallback/content/products_new.tpl.php (there you want to look for $products_price)

as for getting rid of "New Products for May" includes/languages/english/index.php look for define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s'); and change it to something else.

For the record, all of this took about 10 minutes with the grep and more commands on a linux box to find. Here was the command I used for find the last one...
[username: directorypath/httpdocs/] grep "New Products" includes/languages/english/*
It returned:
includes/languages/english/index.php:define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');
includes/languages/english/products_new.php:define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'New Products');
includes/languages/english/products_new.php:define('HEADING_TITLE', 'New Products');
includes/languages/english/sitemap.php:define('PAGE_PRODUCTS_NEW', 'New Products');

While I have no idea what platform you are working on, this really isn't rocket science... If you are on a windows platform I'm sure someone can point you to a search utility that does the same as grep does on a *nix platform. The key is learning HOW osc is built (and how osCMAX differs).

Thanks. I am gonna work on it today..I am using Windows platform.

I found all three files you told me to but I don't know what part of the files to remove to keep from messing up the program. I still want the price and buy button to show but only after someone clicks a catagory and then clicks the image to open up to read the description. That's the time I want them to show up.

Thanks.

Look at your front page and your categories page. How many places do you show a price for a product? In every one of those modules you will have to edit the price out if you don't want it to show pricing. The same goes for the buynow buttons.

If the only place you want pricing to show is in the product_info page (where you show your description) there will be a large number of files that you will have to edit to remove display pricing outside of the product_info code.
