how do i remove the best offer options on the price?

well simply put no simple way to do it. I mean you could change the language string to read no price or make the string empty but I see no reason why to make it empty.

i mean to remove the best offer option (0) on the price because it will not reflect on the Sold Items statistics

Best offer is not an options it is a string used when someone does not put a price in the price field. There is no way to require price unless you modify the uploadproduct template I suppose adding this in bold.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and how do we remove the label (0) for best offer

If you now do ads that all have a price then best offer does not appear. upload an ad after doing that change and see.

Sorry to say but that file edit doesn't seem to work. I want to remove the ability for anyone to choose 'Best Offer', I want all the ads to have some form of asking price.

The file edit above only checks for the price field being left blank, if you enter '0' then you still get 'Best Offer'.

EDIT: To change the 'Asking price' field label, go into your 'Languages' folder, then either edit the relevant language file (for me it was 'english.php'), then find the '$Globals['pp_lang']['price']' varible.

EDIT 2: As per the above file edit in Chuck's post. If you want stop people entering "0" as a price use the following edit:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If you simply want to force users to enter a number, be it 0 or not, then use Chuck's original version.

By the way, the file you need to edit is the 'uploadproduct.tmpl' in the 'Templates' folder.

One thing to bare in mind (after reading one other topic), is that this modification will require a price from the user no matter what type of advert they are placing; for sale, auction, etc.

It works fine. How many people would actually enter 0.

The simple edit posted for that user simply makes people think twice and actually enter a price.

Remember best option is a placeholder as I explained if you do not enter a price thats how the program operates. Anyone is free to modify there code in any way they wish to accomidate their needs.

The problem I've found on my forum is that a lot of people just put 'offers' because they can't be bothered to research how much an item is worth. We've now made this against our advertising rules, all adverts must have a price.

I agree, for the many, this edit will not be needed, but thought I'd post up some variations if anyone is in the same boat as myself.

I am just responding to your broad based claim that the edit does not work as indeed it does.

jammy_basturd · March 12th, 2009, 09:18 AM

Well, I would argue that it doesn't do what the person originally asked for, which was to remove the ability for users to input '0' and use 'Best Offer'.

Actually they asked how to remove best offer. Anotherwards make it so someone had to enter a price. At any rate you can discuss code modification in the MOD CORNER outside product support.
