How do I show the percentage of discounts in view products in categories and also in detail product?
Which files and how do I adjust? I use VM3.0.9 and J3.4.3.
Thank you for your reply.

You need a price layout change

templates/yourtemplate/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/prices.php



//quorvia created discount percentage calculation and display to replace the discount value
if (round($product->prices['discountAmount'] != 0 )) {
// quorvia used a simpler method below $discount_percent = round(($product->prices['basePriceWithTax'] - $product->prices['salesPrice']) * 100 / $product->prices['basePriceWithTax']);
$discount_percent = round(($product->prices['discountAmount'] / $product->prices['basePriceVariant']) * 100);
?>
<div class="discountAmount">

Save <?php echo $discount_percent?>%
</div>
<?php
}

Hi Hutson,

thank you, code is OK.

If we need the option of Percent or Amount at the backend, then what do we do to have that.
Sometimes we offer discount as % and some times as fixed amount (flat 200 off).

I have past your code to "prices.php" with total success.
Is there a way to use the  the value of variable $discount_percent as a ribbon in picture of product.
I have already the css code in my template, I create the div as follow:
<div class="ribbon"><span>-<?php echo $discount_percent; ?>%</span></div>
in templates/my template/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default_images.php, but  something qoing wrong with PHP code.
Please take a look at attachment pic.


Thank you in advance.

I use VirtueMart 3.2.12 and Joomla 3.8.3.

You can't use data from prices.php in default_images.php. So you have to paste the same code in default_images.php (or default.php) and replace every instance of $product with $this->product.
