Discounted pricing

[socalguy]

Does anyone know how to show a retail price and a discounted price when you enter a product. I know it will work if you then do it as a special, but I want to be able to do it when I first enter a product and not have to go the extra step of setting all items up as specials.

Have a look at this mod

Might be what you are after if you are discounting a lot of items.

Sounds exactly like what I want, after I extract it where do I put the files?

socalguy,

Unfortunately, it is not that simple ... it would be nice if it was but osCommerce mods need to be carefully integrated into your store.

It is not a drag and drop solution - if you want to mod your store you are going to get involved in the code ... if this is not your bag, then you may need to get some help ... Ridexbuilder offers a service, as does Met00 ... and I am sure others do aswell ...

Thats what I thought, I will pass on it although it sounds perfect.

Love the 1st line of the contrib.

This contribution is Very easy to install- if I can do it........

Fraught with potential to miss a step/introduce a typo, IMO
An hour or three, plus testing should see it done.

A handy thing to have though.

Do I hear someone volunteering?

I have had a quick look through the code and it is a pretty simple install.

But perhaps it has become overcomplicated ...

Wouldn't this be just as good?

1. Add the price to the database (Changes to categories)
2. Make sure the query picks up the new field (Changes to index.php)
3. Change to product_info.tpl.php to show the new field.

Edit: Actually you wouldn't need to do step 2! Just add the field to categories.php. Add the column to the dbase. Add the code to product_info.php. Done!

A tad simplistic, PGM?
I dare say the mods. might be a bit over the top...
Certainly requires some 'if' statements. Don't wanna disrupt display of prices, unless there's a MSRP/RRP entered and that the selling price (which may vary from time to time) is actually lower.

[Notes that donations are thin on the ground ]

Anyway, you don't have time to look at this - get that fancy Admin. Console finalised!

Simple = Good!

I suppose you are right about the ifs

if RRP = 0 or null --> Hide
else
if RRP < Price --> Hide
else
Show.

I was thinking that it could be added above the description box as a line of text.

There is no need to do the rest since you never really use the RRP price - you just need to display it.

[If you wanted to be really simplistic you could just TYPE the RRP in the first line of the description! And if you are selling for more than RRP then don't type it in!!]

Edit: Help functionality working now. I think Met00 is working on a jQuery menu system - so I am holding fire to see what that brings ... But a combo of the dashboard and a new menu system should make things a bit better ...
