One of my clients has several large-scale items that have complex configurations that he feels would be difficult for the end user to figure out. So he wants to put "Call for Price" instead of an item price..

If you can give me some pointers I can prob implement this just not sure where to start?

Re: "Call for Price"

My hunch is you can use a few Drupal hooks to add a checkbox on the product form to specify it as being a "Call for price" item. Then you can alter the contents of the node prior to display so the price says that instead of a dollar value. I'm not exactly sure how that would work on the catalog pages, but it's a start. Eye-wink

Re: Re: "Call for Price"

Maybe there should be a hook_product_alter() hook to make it easier for modules to change the product fields. With hook_nodeapi() you have to make sure that your module comes after uc_product, which is really unlikely without changing the module's weight. And that's still a pain to do, even when you know how.

Has anyone managed to implement the "call for price" functionality in UC? I also need this for a shop and would be very grateful for some guidance...
