Include specials end date to under specials price?

[this side up]

Hello All

Can someone please tell me how i can include the special products end date to be disaplyed under the specials price? On all instances where the special is displayed.

My php skills are very limited and i sure whould appreciate any help i can get.

The reason i want to do this is : Some clients presume that a special will last for the whole month, the month the special is in, but this is incorrect and i just want to be able to communicate better by making the specials end date clear.

Thank you

All of the display prices use a function ...

You could customize it if you want it to show everywhere ...

Sorry way more code (or is it Greek) than what i'm used to looking at...
I sense a crash coarse in php

Need another nudge please..

Thanks again

This function controls the display price:

  function zen_get_products_display_price($products_id) { 

The bottom line is what is returned ...

If you want to add a specials end date, you will want to add a look up for that date IF there is a special ... if no special, don't waste the time on the look up ...

Hi
I am new to Zen Cart and I want to do the same as this with listing product special expiry dates in the side blocks and on the specials module, but I cannot get it working. I get the expiry date to display but it displays as 0001-01-01. I got this variable from the admin specials section. I see that the specials displays from here but obviously a function is set somewhere which I cannot find. Can you please help with this or point in the right direction.

This date: 0001-01-01

means there is no expiration date set ...

Nope, I dont think it is that. I checked on all the products that has the special expiry date and it still showed the 0001-01-01

If there isn't an expiration date you will see the:
0001-01-01

If there is an expiration date such as February 21, 2007 then you will see:
2007-02-21
