Price Layout Customization ZCV138a

[cs_jono]

I am trying to customize my price layout so that it displays like this:



However I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The code that is calling it within the product display page is

<!--bof Product Price block -->
<h2 id="productPrices" class="productGeneral">
<?php
// base price
  if ($show_onetime_charges_description == 'true') {
    $one_time = '<span >' . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_SYMBOL . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGE_DESCRIPTION . '</span><br />';
  } else {
    $one_time = '';
  }
  echo $one_time . ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']);
?></h2>
<!--eof Product Price block -->

And it currently looks like this:



Any help on achieving this would greatly be appreciated! Thanks so much!

You would need to customize the function in the functions_prices.php for: zen_get_products_display_price

Be sure to keep backups of the original functions_prices.php as this is not an override file ...

Hey Ajeh,

Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know exactly how I would need to customize. Sorry I'm not very PHP savvy.

I would actually have to sit down and write all of the customizations for this function to make the display price work in this manner ... and that can take quite a bit of time ...

Customizing that function does have a plus side in that once you figure it out ... it works everywhere that the prices are displayed ...

Ok well thank you for help! If any one else has already customized this page or has the time to do it that would be amazing but there is so much code in the file I have no idea where to start. Thank you!

I looked through the function and tried to do this the long way ... gads what a nightmare ...

Then looked at it again and may have a short simple way for you ...

Find the function in the functions_prices.php

And locate this part of the code and try it with the change I have in there so you can see the results:

    if ($display_normal_price == 0) {
      // don't show the $0.00
      $final_display_price = $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } else {
//      $final_display_price = $show_normal_price . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
      $final_display_price = 'xNORMAL PRICE' . $show_normal_price . 'x' . 'ySPECIAL' . $show_special_price . 'y' . 'zSALE' . $show_sale_price . 'z' . 'dDISCOUNT' . $show_sale_discount . 'd';
    }

The letters are to show you the start and end of each price component ...

You may be able to get away with changing that one line rather than all the code ...

Hello,

Does anyone know what code specifically calls the percentage when a product is on sale?

I'm trying to copy the percentage being displayed here:



And add it somewhere else on the same page.

For a better example of what I'm trying to do you can look at:

I'm trying to leave the you save percentage where it is as well as duplicate it in same area where it says add to cart. Any ideas?

Maybe you should add more to the category....

Didn't we just go through where this code is built?

You could build a function for this or add a paramater to the existing function so that the default way sends everything and the paramater says just send the percentage ... or whatever you want to do with it ...

Of, just add the whole price and discount by the add to cart so the customer can always see it ... both where it is now and at the button ...

Or, you can get even fancier and have the Add to Cart show the current price based on Attributes/Quantity ... and the top say the normal price display ...

Takes a lot more customization but it does look very cool ... it just depends on how much work you want to put into this or have someone write it for you ...

Ajeh you make my head spin sometimes when you start talking about programming .

Yeah I knew that's what we have been working with but shouldn't there already be a call function built into place if the product page is calling for that number? If so why couldn't you just copy that function that is already being called and move it on top of the button. The effect we are trying to accomplish is that like this:

The way they are putting their percentage with on top of their add to cart button. Thanks so much!
