Prices are now controlled by a sublayout

Put the change in the override

templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/prices.php (http://templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/prices.php)

The solution works for VM3

Warning: Division by zero in url/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/prices.php on line 52

this is line 52

$discount_percent = round(($product->prices['basePriceWithTax'] - $product->prices['salesPrice']) * 100 /

this is the warning why is that?

No idea

Try debugging in a development environment and see what is happening with the variables.

Or maybe someone else might have time to do the work for you.

I had to use $product->prices['basePrice'] and not $product->prices['basePriceWithTax'].

use basePriceVariant!

BasepriceVariant does not give the correct calculation if used in:-

Code Select

$discount_percent = round(($product->prices['basePriceWithTax'] - $product->prices['salesPrice']) * 100 / $product->prices['basePriceWithTax']);

However, this is probably a much better way of achieving the %age using the suggested basePriceVariant !

Code Select


$discount_percent = round(($product->prices['discountAmount'] / $product->prices['basePriceVariant']) * 100);
