Attribute prices once on special are not showing

Hello Zenners

I dont know how long this problem has been around as we have only tried to start using the specials functionality recently. It did work some time back (long time back) when we tried it, but not now.
I did have a similar problem on the text input attribute a while ago, but that was fixed with Ajeh's help by re-inserting some code into the database. That thread is here .
It might be a long shot, but could the two could be related?

Product is not priced by attributes.
Product's price is set to 0.00
Product's attributes are set to discounted.

Problem:
(catalog) Attributes that are enabled for discount do not show. Main Product price appears as R0.00. on the product more info page and in the product listing.
(Admin) No changes seem to occurr. Special price in attributes revert to R0.00. It just shows 0.00. It's like that % value is just getting lost in cyberspace somwhere. (admin - catalog - specials)

Here is a link to the product. (On an exact duplicate test version of our store. version 1.3.8a) The attributes prices that are missng is the problem. The one's that appear are not enabled.

I've tried for days now with the settings, but nothing seems to work. I dont know enough about the problem to determine where to look to sort this out.
Any help with this would be very appreciated.

Many Thanks
Warren

Never mind. I've managed to get the problem sorted.
thanks

What was the solution that you found worked for you? :smile:

Hi Ajeh

I took stock of my php skills so...
I hired some commercial help. :P
I was never really happy with the way specials displayed either. I thought the std way of displaying them didn't highlight it enough.
I decided at the last moment to use the opportunity to jazz up the display of the specials a bit. I've actually wanted that for a while, but never got round to it till now.

I now have an end date with countdown timer on the product and the attributes are strike through in red with the new prices next to it. I will do some better styling on it later.

here's an example .
Any feedback?

Thanks
Warren

That looks pretty good ... glad to see that you have this working now ... :smile:
