[Not a bug] Sale Not Applied To Linked Products

[mikefulton]

I have noticed that sales aren't applied when the products in the sale category are linked from another category.

That is, if Products "A" and "B" belong to Category "C" (which has many other products) but I have created linked versions in Category "D", creating a sale that points to Category "D" does not cause those products to be discounted as expected.



I cannot simply apply the sale to category "C" as it applies only to certain products which fit in that category.

If I create DUPLICATE versions of the products and place them in Category "D", then the sale price is applied to the duplicates. This is better than nothing, but because the sale price is not applied to the originals as well this is not a complete workaround.

Unfortunately I do not see an easy fix for this. Basically, when getting a product's price, it would have to check for links in categories that have sales and then get the sale price.
