How to change "£0.00" in to "FREE"

[Artbasement]

I am trying to edit some Php code for a form in the checkout of my online shopping cart.

In the checkout there is a list of various available delivery options, some of which become "£0.00" as you spend over a certain amount.

 

I would like the user to see "FREE" instead of "£0.00", but if another delivery shows "£7.95" (not free) it will still show the price.

 

I have found the bit of script for the form and have tried various things with

{if $sm.shipping_price|price > 1} or {...== 0} and so on, but I can't get it to work. It turns all the amounts in the form to "FREE" or none of them.

 

This what I tried...

 

{if $sm.shipping_price|price < 1}    
                                                                          
{$sm.method_name|htmlspecialchars} - {$sm.shipping_price|price} 
                                                                          
{else} 
    
{if $sm.shipping_price|price > 1} 
{$sm.method_name|htmlspecialchars} - FREE    
{/if} 
{/if}

 

As I am a complete novice at Php, it's probably very simple, but if you could show me how to do that would be great...the original code looked like this

 

					<div class="formLine">
					<div class="formSpace">	
						<select id="select_shipping_method" name="shipping_method">
						{foreach from=$shipping_methods item="sm"}
							<option value="{$sm.ssid}" {if $sm.checked == "yes"}selected="selected"{assign var="current_shipping_amount" value=$sm.shipping_price}{/if} onchange="opcRecalcTotalOnShippingChange()">
								{$sm.method_name|htmlspecialchars}
								{if $ShippingPreCalcEnabled == "YES"}
									- {$sm.shipping_price|price}
								{/if}
							</option>
						{/foreach}		
						</select>
					</div>
				</div>

			{else}
				{foreach from=$shipping_methods item="sm"}
					<input type="hidden" id="select_shipping_method" name="shipping_method" value="{$sm.ssid}"/>
					<div class="formLine">
						<div class="formSpace">
							<b>Shipping price for your order is {$sm.shipping_price|price}</b><br/>
							<i>({$sm.method_name|htmlspecialchars}{if $order->shippingTaxable};{$msg.cart.shipping_taxable} - {$order->shippingTaxDescription}{/if})</i>
						</div>
					</div>
				{/foreach}
			{/if}
		{/if}
	{/if}

how are you displaying the price??

 

is it as a string or as an integer

 

i.e. string(£0.00) or integer £ + 0.00??

If it's an integer then you could do something like this:

 

if ($price == '0.00')
{
	echo 'Free';
}
else 
{
	echo '£ '.$price;
}

Well, one of the things masking the problem is the use of a 3rd party template engine to insert PHP code within the markup.  There's nothing wrong with using one, but it does make it harder for someone that doesn't use one (like me ) to figure out what's going on.

 

My two compatriots are correct in the structure of how to check the price, assuming it's a number and not a string.

if($price > 0)
{
   echo "£" . $price;
}
else
{
   echo "FREE";
}

 

You should double-check that you're referencing the price(s) correctly.  Try outputting it to the screen as is.

I have checked the db and it says "shipping_price" is a "decimel(20,5)" but if I take the "|price" off "$sm.shipping_price|price" it displays "£0.00" as "0". Does that help me?

[Artbasement]

Did this...and it works!

 

{foreach from=$shipping_methods item="sm"}
<option value="{$sm.ssid}" {if $sm.checked == "yes"}selected="selected"{assign var="current_shipping_amount" value=$sm.shipping_price}{/if} onchange="opcRecalcTotalOnShippingChange()">
								{$sm.method_name|htmlspecialchars}
{if $ShippingPreCalcEnabled == "YES"}
{if $sm.shipping_price == 0} - FREE DELIVERY 	
             {else}
             - {$sm.shipping_price|price} 
{/if}
{/if}
</option>
