Discount price using attributes?

[Andy_GS]

Hello,

Right we use salemaker to do blanket discounts on brands, however we're now at a stage where we can't do this for some brands and need to do a speical price dependent on the product within the brand.

When i've tried special pricing with attributes before it subsequently ignored displaying the rrp price.

Any ideas why this might have been or do i need to do somthing different under attributes.

I should also note that attributes confuse me no end, its not as user friendly to me and it just seems like a lot of overly confusing menus/ sub menus.

Any ideas people?

regards

Andy.

Ok update, i've now established i need to use 'specials' this is fine, however unlike salemaker it doesnt display 'rrp' and our price, it just shows the special price.


Do i have to edit functions/function_prices.php ?


or is it an option i need to tick in the admin?

regards

Andy.

Ok i've found out what was wrong:

in functions/function_prices.php

i went to line 41

// return special price only
    if ($specials_price_only==true) {
      if (zen_not_null($special_price)) {
        return $special_price;
      } else {
        return false;
      } 

and changed line 44 to:

 $show_display_price = '';
    $display_normal_price = zen_get_products_base_price($products_id);
    $display_special_price = zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, false);
    $display_sale_price = zen_get_products_special_price($products_id, true); 

this sorted out the special price issue and didnt knock salemaker so all is good now.
