For anyone else really battling my problem turned out to be in step 5. I had cut and pasted code from the 'read me' instruction file into the functions_prices.php file. On going through the install for about the 5th time line by line i just noticed a visual difference in the code. The code I had cut and pasted had no gaps around the = sign, whereas the code in the original file had gaps.

Here's what I mean

Instruction text file step 5 says:

Code:

---

  Find:
 
  $display_sale_price = zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, false);
 
  After add:
 
 $display_msrp_price=zen_get_products_msrp_price($products_id);
 $display_price_save=zen_get_products_price_save($products_id);

---

I changed this to

Code:

---

  After add:
 
 $display_msrp_price = zen_get_products_msrp_price($products_id);
 $display_price_save = zen_get_products_price_save($products_id);

I hope this saves someone the headache I had. Now it is done it does work well and I am pleased so keep perservering if you are struggling!

That make sense however is you copied and pasted from the text file there should not have been any gaps when you pasted it over, I am glad you got it working. a good text editor is Notepad++ good for editing almost any file just FYI.

Hi Lextechs - I was using Notepad++. But hey, ho - it is working now, that is the main thing.

I have this loaded on zencart 1.3.8a. Everything looks fine, but I'm having a problem. When my price is higher than the MSRP, the function is still showing. So when people just the page it's showing savings as a negative. So if my price is $4.00 and the MSRP is $3.75. It show my customer that they are saving $-0.25. I thought that is module was to show just my price if it was higher than the MSRP. Why is this showing up?

lextechs, this worked to fix the problem if the MSRP is the same as my price, but it didn't fix it if my price was more than the MSRP.

Here is an example.

I would think you could use that section and change to compare for greater than or less than.

I'm not sure I know where your talking about to do that.

I have NO sql and very little php knowledge, though I do manage to kludge my way through.

Building on the MSRP mod idea, I would like to add a couple of fields to the collect_info.php page. I want to add an entry for my cost and an entry for map (Minimum Advertised Price).

IE:
Products Price (Net): 10
Products MSRP: 15
Products MAP: 10
Our Cost: 5
Products Price (Gross):

Then I would like those new values saved into the products table under products_cost and products_map. I was able to create the fields in the DB. But now I don't know how to populate those fields.

Then in my categories list I want to display the cost price next to/under the current product price. This will help me in creating sales and specials without having to look through spreadsheets, web sites and catalogs to make sure I'm not pricing under my own costs.
