Title: different price for groups with different start dates lead to no price at all
Post by: markjansen_nl on August 08, 2016, 21:45:50 PM
Using: VirtueMart 3.0.16. Joomla 3.6.2

I want to sell concert tickets via our website for our amateur orchestra. To enable our supporters to order prior to the general public, I've set prices for specific shopper groups (see screenshot attached). This seems to work perfectly fine if I choose a historic starting date for testing purposes.

The thing is: currently the product is listed with no price att all at the website (see https://www.jubalvarsseveld.nl/webshop/concertkaartjes/toegangskaart-kerstconcert-2016-detail.html). I expected Virtuemart to hide the product, or display a message like "this product is not yet available, please return on....".

I've searched the forum and Google for this numerous times, but I can't seem to find the solution. Adding an option with price 0 has no effect, disabling or enabling prices for groups has no effect,

It probably is something very simple I'm overlooking. What to do? Many thanks.

do u mean "Show call for price, when the price is empty" ?

vm admin->config->config->prices

or isn't this working?

Wow, that's at least an amazing improvement. Thanks. It works.

But... it isn't yet quite what I expected. Now I might get a lot of mail/calls from users asking questions about the tickets, whereas they simply have to wait until the calendar hits the starting date associated with their shopping group. Up until that date I would expect a notification like "not yet available".

Would that be possible?
