Quick template edit question for price and sale price

[Nigel Lew]

Hi folks. I am trying to help someone edit something real fast located here.. http://www.outplaypoker.com/playing-...ard-set-p-1792

Right now our setup looks like this:
$30.99 $27.99
Save 10% Off

I want our setup to look like:
Competitors Price: $30.99
Our Price: $27.99
Save 10% With Us!

Can't track this down to save my life.

thanks,
Nigel

It's not done in a template; it's done in the pricing function. This is pretty complex logic; you might not want to modify it.

If all of your products will have the same setup here, you may be able to add output text around the parts of the price output. The
Save 10% Off
has to be defined in a language file, so you could alter it to
Save 10% With Us!

The .normalprice {} class that applies to the regular price is styled with a strikethrough, and you can change that in the stylesheet.

OK, the entire price output is formatted in the function, with no possibility of modifying or interpolating in its output in tpl_product_info_display.php. The function zen_get_products_display_price($products_id) is extremely complex, and trying to modify its elements as they are being built would be dangerous. However, there is one point where the price elements are all concatenated in one statement (in two versions), and carefully adding text/formatting output there might be safe and simple enough to attempt.

    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;
    } 

Something like

    if ($display_normal_price == 0) {
      // don't show the $0.00
      $final_display_price = $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } else {
      $final_display_price = 'Competitors Price: ' .$show_normal_price . '<br />Our Price: ' . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } 

This hard-coding is not recommended practice, and it would be better to insert a constant in each of those locations and define the constant in a language file.
SHOW_NORMAL_PRICE_PRE
SHOW_SPECIAL_PRICE_PRE

A way to do this in modern browsers (IE8 and newer, or pretty much all other leading browsers) is in the stylesheet with "pseudo-elements". You don't have to touch the PHP code at all, as long as the base elements have distinguishable identifiers (which the prices do).

<!--bof Product Price block -->
<h2 id="productPrices" class="productGeneral">
<span class="normalprice">$30.99 </span>&nbsp;<span class="productSpecialPrice">$27.99</span><span class="productPriceDiscount"><br />Our Price:&nbsp;10% off</span></h2>

<!--eof Product Price block -->

.normalprice {display: block;}
.normalprice:before {content:'Competitors Price: ';}
.productSpecialPrice:before {content:'Our Price: ';}
