Qty Discount - Display lowest price & "Start At" text

[kappaluppa]

I've set up the qty discounts as:
Discount Type: Amount Off
Discounted Price From: Price

It is set up and seems to work fine. However in the product description I'd like to use the lowest price available.

Also, in the Product Type Info Page Layout options I see one that says: Show Starting At text on Price. I assume that means I can add text in front of the price that says "Starting At". I have the option 1 (yes), but I don't know where to change the text, and I don't see it to begin with.

Thanks with any help on this...

Use the admin > tools > developers tools > enter text you seek in the last box on the left > select all catalog files from dropdown > search list of files with that text will display look for a defiines:

  define('TEXT_BASE_PRICE','Starting at: ');

or the text that you are looking for

Thanks! Now, do you know of any way I can display the lowest price of the quantity discount rather than the beginning price?

[kobra]

Isn't the beginning price the lowest?

Or is it he text that states "beginning price" that you want to alter?

[kappaluppa]

In order to calculate quantity discounts you have to list the highest price first, then discounts based on number of items purchased.

Since you have to list the highest price first, that is the price that shows in the description of the item.

I'd like to display the biggest discount possible with text in front that says "Starting At" to indicate that a higher price might be paid.

You can do a work around by not displaying price and in the product title enter something like this:

My Item - (As Low as $1.55)

We achieved this by doing the following in 1.3.7. The same code can be used in all files where displaying the lowest price is desired.

Filename : templates/tpl_product_info_display.php 
Line #69 : //echo $one_time . ($flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']); 
Line #70 : echo ((zen_has_product_attributes_values((int)$_GET['products_id']) and $flag_show_product_info_starting_at == 1) ? TEXT_BASE_PRICE : '') . $currencies->display_price(zen_get_products_discount_price_qty((int)$_GET['products_id'], 999999), zen_get_tax_rate($products_tax_class_id));

We used "999999" as the quantity for "zen_get_products_discount_price_qty" since no item in our store has a higher quantity discount than the value used.

Hope that helps someone.

We would love to see this as an option to show base price or lowest price in a future release of Zen Cart. hint hint

This actually worked.
But there are some tweaking to do. Just applying it I got the lowest price on all items, including those without quantity discount. But it is not difficult to figure out.

I tried this as well and on the product detail I see now the lowest price listed. I can't get the As Low As text to display at all! Help.

I would like the Starting At price show up on the product listing with grid layout enabled. Right now I only see More Info listed for product with QTY discounts. How would I do this?

[mydanilo]

I think the Starting At price was intended to pricing by attribut when any add on, option would mean additional cost. This is not what was asked here, I think we all want to have the option to display the lowest price defined by quantity discounts and then list the lowest price with the text, Starting as Low As in product details and product listing pages. (At least this is what I am looking for). Anybody a clue?
