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 ...

Hey,

Yeah the long way sounds like doing long division when you were in elementary school.

So the code that you gave me works besides when you aren't having a price for sale

This is what it looks like when you don't have a discount



The code that I have is

 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 = 'Retail:&nbsp;' . $show_normal_price . '<br />Today:&nbsp;' . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
    } 

Have any idea why it's doing that?

[Ajeh]

The "Long way" sets the values properly ...

The "Short way" does not test to see if there is a value to any of these and just adds each value together ...

If you built the final string based on IF there is something to add ... then it would work better ...

[cs_jono]

I know I am kind of a joke...but how would you do that?

[Ajeh]

$final_display_price is built from the components below:

      $final_display_price = 'Retail:&nbsp;' . $show_normal_price . '<br />Today:&nbsp;' . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;

But if there wasn't a $show_normal_price then why say it:

($show_normal_price ? 'Retail: ' . $show_normal_price : '')

If there wasn't a $show_special_price then why say it:

($show_special_price ? '<br />Today:&nbsp;' . $show_special_price : '')

If there wasn't a Sale Price why say it:

($show_sale_price ? $show_sale_price : '')

If there wasn't a Discount why say it:

($show_sale_discount ? $show_sale_discount : '')

So ... put it all together and see if all of the pricing combos look right for:
Products no special no sale no discount
Products special no sale discount
Products no special sale discount
Products special sale discount

      $final_display_price = ($show_normal_price ? 'Retail:&nbsp;' . $show_normal_price : '') . ($show_special_price ? '<br />Today:&nbsp;' . $show_special_price : '') . ($show_sale_price ? $show_sale_price : '') . ($show_sale_discount ? $show_sale_discount : '');
