Display original price for discounts

Hi there,

when percentage discounts are applied is confusing. The customer sees the discounted price with -30% for example but the don't see the original price. Ehen testing several people said they expected a discount on the price displayed. Is is possible to display the original price with a line through it or something?

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

I have got that config, but that just displays the new price and the old prices with a line through. It would be nice if using percentages to see €100 -50% €50. If not already possible do you think it would be a good idea to add this display option to the config?

Okay I will add this.

By the way in line 110 of the view/discount/tmpl/listing.php file the test you have:

elseif(!empty($row->discount_percent_amount))

will always return true because even if the value is 0.00 unless type cast

$row->discount_percent_amount = (int)$row->discount_percent_amount;

it will be considered as a string therefore not empty even for values 0.00

should be:

$row->discount_percent_amount = (float)$row->discount_percent_amount;

I'm having the same problem. I applied a $2 discount to a product that was $7.99 and it shows


$5.99 CAD $-2.00 CAD each


Do the code changes above change the display to $7.99 $5.99?

It doesn't seem to matter which option I select, it always seems to show the same thing.

I'm on Joomla 1.7 and Hikashop 1.5.3 (fairly heavily modded).

All you need to do is to change the "Show discounted price" option of your menu/module/config to "Display the price before the discount is applied" and that will show the price before discount which will be stroked.
Note that the "Show discounted price" option of the Display tab of the configuration is only used on the product page.
For your products listings, you need to go in the menu Display->Content modules/menus and edit your menu/module which is displaying the listing and change that same option.

Thanks for your prompt replies.

The problem now is that the discount is showing up beside every price. For example:


$6.99 CAD each0%

it should be:


$6.99 CAD each

if there`s no discount.

In the discount is also showing up in the module:

$7.99 CAD 0%

How would this be fixedÉ

Thanks again Nicolas, it's appreciated!

That change didn't make a difference though.

Hi,

after reading this topic i thought that by now HikaShop had the option to display the "-50%" after the stroked price, and then show the new price.

But it only shows the price before (stroked), and the new price without the indication of the percentage of the discount (or the amount).

Will hikashop have such an option, or do we have to edit the listing and product views to do this, every time we update hikashop?

Thanks in advance

can't get it to work in the product category view - see screenshot. How do I make this view the same as in my product detail view (second screenshot).???

Hello,
It will depend on how you configured the "Show discounted price" option through your product listing content menu/module configuration page via "Hikashop->Display->Content modules/menus->'YourContentMenu/Module'".
