Adding "per lb." after price

[pholli4]

Hello Everybody,

If you go to http://www.fisherqualitymeats.com/in...roducts_id=184 you'll see my problem...I'd like to add "per lb." after the price of 50 cents. My plan is to then use attributes to convert the per lb. price into a "per steak" price (in the example page I've linked to, the per steak weight is assumed to be 4 lbs...I know that's not realistic but it illustrates the point).

Anyway, what is the easiest way to add "per lb" to the price at the linked page?

Thanks in advance, the Zen Cart Community has been awesome as I figure out how to use this excellent open source e-commerce platform.

Ph,
includes/ templates/ custom_template/ template/ tpl_info_display.php

Find this:

<!--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 -->

Replace with this:

<!--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']);
?>&nbsp;per lb</h2>
<!--eof Product Price block -->

Notice the red font above where I added this little tweak.

Hi Haredo.

I can implement the modification you suggest, because I am selling goods that are priced per meter.
Unfortunately, only some products (that I can identify with part of their products_model) should be priced per meter, the other products requiring the 'normal' display of prices.

Any idea how I could implement this?

Thanks.

Finally,

I could develop the solution with a small php addition, based on Haredo's code :

?><?php if (substr($products_model,3,1) == "S") { echo '/m'; } ?></h2>

The logic in this small piece of code is based on the fact that only products having a "S" in the fourth position have to be priced per meter.

I am however a little bit confused about other templates where I should implement this modification (i.e. various product listings).
Any help about this will be appreciated.

I have a similar situation in which I need some products to read "per lb." and others "per foot". Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.

If you are able to make a distinction between products needing 'per lb' and products needing 'per foot' based on their respective product models, then you might use a code similar to the one I used.

Tryphon,

Yes, I'd be interested in trying out that code.
