Title: Making the word "PRICE" disappear for a catalog site - SOLVED!
Post by: smilingchi on October 10, 2012, 00:56:36 AM
I've selected that I want this site to be used as a catalog.  But, still on the product pages appears the word "Price."  How do I get rid of it?  I'd even be good with just changing the color so you can't see it?   :o

Thanks in advance!

Figured it out!  Let me share my knowledge since this seems to be a common problem. 

There is this neat feature in VM2 called a Language Manager.  Go to Admin->Language Manager and then click on Override.

Over to the right, you will see this search box.  Type in whatever you want to change.  I wanted to change the color of "Price:" on my product pages.  So I typed in "Price:"

It gave me a list of what I assume are CSS id stuff.  (technological huh?).  Click on the one you want to change, and input your code you would rather use over in the box to the left. 

Easy stuff!

Hi,

Yes, this is a solution but do you know if somewhere else that particular string used? So always is better that values hide them with CSS.
But what you did is right.

Good information!  Thank you!  I used FireBug to find the right string.  That is really worth the extra time to learn to use that.  Wow.  What a life saver!
