If / Else to Hide Price with Toolkit's Quicklist / Alsobought

[achievingexcellence]

I want to hide the price on $0 items in Toolkit's Alsobought.

This seems like this should work (And I've tried many other variations):

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:quicklist:price EQ '0'"><mvt:else><b>Price</b>: &mvt:quicklist:formatted_price;</mvt:if>

But it doesn't. It hides the the price on all products.

Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!

That variable is not in the array. Perhaps test formatted_price for EQ '$0.00'

FYI: I see this a lot (understandable, if your job title is not developer), but:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:quicklist:price EQ '0'"><mvt:else><b>Price</b>: &mvt:quicklist:formatted_price;</mvt:if>

Should be written as

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:quicklist:price GT 0"><b>Price</b>: &mvt:quicklist:formatted_price;</mvt:if>

(Or, as Bill corrected:
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:quicklist:formatted_price NE '$0.00'"><b>Price</b>: &mvt:quicklist:formatted_price;</mvt:if> )


The first method actually makes the system to 2 comparisons, the later only 1. (oh, also don't put ' ' around actual numbers.)

I see Bruce. That makes a lot of sense. I'll look at this and other places I have used if / else statements to reduce the number of comparisons made.

And you are right ... I'm just a guy with a website.

I am wondering if there is either a bug or I am doing something wrong in my code for this. I have the following code on the page below:

http://www.ntxtools.com/Merchant/mer...en=nl-template

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:quicklist:formatted_price GT '$250.00'">
<div><span class="freeship">FREE SHIPPING</span></div>
</mvt:if>

If you look, I have products over $250.00 that show "FREE SHIPPING" correctly, some over $250.00 that do NOT show FREE SHIPPING, and yet some that are under $250.00 that also show "FREE SHIPPING". It appears the quick and vquick functions do not support price, only formatted_price, and it rather unforgiving.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Eldon

You can't use "greater than" operators on text strings. Since it has '$' in it, the price is a string not a number, do this:

<mvt:assign name="l.thisPrice" value="glosub(l.settings:quicklist:formatted_price , '$', '')" />

then test l.thisPrice

Bruce,

Thank you! I took your code and did one extra step: I spit out the tag to a new variable and stripped the comma as well. I did them in separate strings as I was unsure if you could strip out both the $ and comma in the same command.

Thanks again!

Eldon

PS - At the end of the day, it sure would be nice if the quicklist function would spit out the un-formatted cost and price so you don't have to take these extra steps, but it's nice to have a workaround.
