I am checking out the theme for a customer – she has an old Yahoo site and it neds to be taken doen and re-done. I sent some wustions to support and got one of them figured out (I think). Here they are:

1. She is going to do a "deal a month" with groupon. I figured I could put up a password protected post or page just for that and change the password to th eone groupon sends every month. Price would be $0 as Groupon collects the money and sends it to her. Sounds good?

2. Here is the one I can't figure out – if I can I will be htting the buy button! She runs an ad in a catalogue that gives people 25% off. On the yahoo site they just type the coupon code in at checkout. Seems like market Theme can't so this yet. i tought I could ad it on the paypal end but seems like it can't be done – only through ebay. Any ideas as to how this last hurdle can be overcome?

Thanks!

Ok Bob,

I've figured out a way you can set a product post to be password protected.

This will allow you to add the product to the website, however it won't display a pricing details, or a description, until the user types in the correct password — which your customer can give on their Groupon page. (password: groupon -or whatever)

All that will need to happen for you to do this, is to edit two of the Market Theme files.

Here is the code modifications you'll make.

category.php

=========

1. On or around line #98, locate the following:

if($price != '') { ?>
                    &ndash; <span class="price"><strong><?php echo $mkt_currency_symbol; ?></strong><?php echo $price; ?></span>
            <?php }

Change this code to this:

if($price != '') { ?>
                <?php // Disable price for password protected posts
                if ( !post_password_required($post) ) { ?>
                    &ndash; <span class="price"><strong><?php echo $mkt_currency_symbol; ?></strong><?php echo $price; ?></span>
                <?php } ?>
            <?php }

2. Save the file.

single.php

============

1. On or around line #62, locate the following code:

if($price != '') { ?>
            &ndash; <span class="price"><strong><?php echo $mkt_currency_symbol; ?></strong><?php echo $price; ?></span>
    <?php }

and change it to this:

if($price != '') { ?>
        <?php // Disable price for password protected posts
        if ( !post_password_required($post) ) { ?>
            &ndash; <span class="price"><strong><?php echo $mkt_currency_symbol; ?></strong><?php echo $price; ?></span>
        <?php } ?>
    <?php }

2. Then, scroll down to around line #101 where it says:

<div class="desc" align="center">
      <?php // if there's a price and the item is still for sale

Immediately BEFORE those lines, add the following new lines:

<?php // Disable product information if post is password protected
if ( !post_password_required($post) ) { ?>

3. Finally, scroll down to around line #344 where it says:

</div> <!-- end desc class -->

Immediately AFTER this line, add the following new line

<?php } // Close private post password protected section ?>

4. Save the file.

That should do it.

Then, when you create a post you want hidden — just select "Password protected" and enter the password under the "Visibility" option of the product post page.

By the way, this code will be integrated into an upcoming update of Market.

Ok – got that one.

The other one is tougher though. When customers are sent over from the other site they are told to enter the word "coupon" ( or whatever I specify)at check out to get 25% off the whole order. In the current Yahoo site I just go into the backend – pick a copoun code and enter a discount and whoever types the word coupon in at checkout/shopping cart to get the discount. She is using these other sites to get some traffic sent to her site.

Thanks.
