I am wanting to put the word "from" in front of the price on the product listing page - when I click on a category and it brings up the list of products under that category.

This is the code I have put (I am not a coder)

<!-- PRODUCT PRICE -->
<?php
}
if($this->params->get('show_price')){
$this->setLayout('listing_price');
echo "<strong>from</strong>".$this->loadTemplate();
}
?>

But on the front end it puts the word "from" then puts the price 2 lines below

How can I put the word directly in front of the price?
Thanks

You should do your modification in the file "listing_price" and not the "listing_img_title" view file.
There you can directly put it next to the product:

if(empty($this->element->prices)) echo 'from ';
echo $this->currencyHelper->format($price->price_value_with_tax,$price->price_currency_id);

Thanks - I can get the word from in front of the price but its doing the same thing as if it I am putting the word from in the PRICE BEGINNING in the language file.

I am only wanting the word from to show on the product listing as I have products with options. But the word from is also showing in the mini cart and in the checkout cart as well.

Can I just force it to show on the product_listing results on its own?
Thanks

Ah yes, I didn't think of the cart display.
Try like that instead:

if(empty($this->element->prices)&&($_GET=='listing'||@$this->module)) echo 'from ';
echo $this->currencyHelper->format($price->price_value_with_tax,$price->price_currency_id);

Thanks
I sort of got it working after a few errors but its still placing 'from' everywhere.

I'm not sure which lines I am supposed to replace with your code exactly. I was sort of taking a guess. Does it just go in as new lines or replace existing code? I add as new code but I get the word from and the main price showing $0.00 then the option price which is what I am using.

So still confused :)

Hi,

The line :
if(empty($this->element->prices)&&($_GET=='listing'||@$this->module)) echo 'from ';

should be placed before the line:
echo $this->currencyHelper->format($price->price_value_with_tax,$price->price_currency_id);

I don't see how that code would still display everywhere though.
Maybe without the ||@$this->module it would help ?

Great - thanks.
I am still getting the 'from' in the mini cart module but not in the checkout process.
Removed ||@$this->module and 'from' doesn't appear at all anymore so have put it back for now.
It's just the mini-cart where there is now an issue.

It might be worth adding the ability to put the word from in a product listing in the language file. No need for it in the mini cart or checkout. I have a lot of products which have basic price and have options - the
'from' tells the customer that is the cheapest price even if it isn't as options are required.

Then edit the file "cart" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and add the line:
$this->module = false;

after the first <?php tag.

Thanks - this worked for the mini-cart. But I notice the word "from" is also showing in the featured products module I have.

I haven't add a related products sections as well yet but assume this would also show the word "from" if I add that module.

Yes.
Is that a problem ?
