Hi,
I'm looking for a way to add text inside the createpricediv and before the price.
For instance the default_showprices code is:
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('discountAmount', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT', $this->product->prices);
I would like this to ouput something like "You Save: discount amount"
How would i add text inside the createprice div please ?
Maybe use the language manager to add a new variable eg COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_SAVE="You Save:"
Then echo that variable in the div. Play with the position until it is right for your layout.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know how i would echo the variable into the code.
I tried
if ($this->product->prices['discountAmount']>0) echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('discountAmount', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_SAVE', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT', $this->product->prices);
but this just breaks the you save section.
gfxpixeldesigns,
dont you just need to change the text?
Doesnt it already say
"Discount"
just change
THIS
COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT
to this
COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_SAVE_AMOUNT
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('discountAmount', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_SAVE_AMOUNT', $this->product->prices);
then do a language override

Now that you mention it, no it doesnt say anything which got me wondering if the language was even working.
So i checked the others such as base price and all are working as expected.
I then opened my language file to check COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT was there and it is.
COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT="Discount: "I added a language override but still no text showing.
So i then started to change the createpricediv name
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('test', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT', $this->product->prices);The above with test as the name didnt seem to register, after refreshing my div class was just 'pricesalesprice' with no mention of test.
I then tried changing it to a known class name 'baseprice'
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('basePrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT', $this->product->prices);This registered and immediately i had my text showing.
So it seems the problem lies somewhere with the createpricediv class name.
I need to call it something unique, ideally discountAmount so how would i go about calling it that without the text being removed ?
Thanks
in your "price configuration" do you have it checked?

Well i dont half feel silly :-[.
The label wasnt checked in my pricing config.
All working as expected after checking it.
Thanks for pointing me to the solution.
