how to display two prices

[joely666]

Hi,

I need to display two prices 'our price' and 'high street price' on the product page. This works fine by using the 'cost price' field as 'high street' and the 'override' field as 'our price'.
A problem arises on certain products when I only want to display 'our price'. Both 'high street' and 'our price' are displayed, and they are the same.

I have tried modifying the code in default_showprices.php to display only 'our price' if the prices are the same:

Code Select Expand

<?php
    }
    if ($this->showBasePrice) {
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('basePrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_BASEPRICE', $this->product->prices);
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('basePriceVariant', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_BASEPRICE_VARIANT', $this->product->prices);
    }

    if ($this->priceWithoutTax == $this->salesPrice) {
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('priceWithoutTax', 'Our Price:', $this->product->prices);
} else {

echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('priceWithoutTax', 'High street:', $this->product->prices);
    echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('salesPrice', 'Our Price:', $this->product->prices);
    
  } ?>


Unsurprisingly it didn't work.
If anyone can offer the correct PHP to do this, that would be great. It may well be the case that I am going about this in completely the wrong way in terms of VM configuration, so if anyone can point me in the right direction without having to edit PHP that would be even better.

I'm using Joomla 2.5.6 and VM 2.0.10.

Thanks

I have something like this with  RRP and Our Price. I created a custom field for the RRP and then used

Code Select Expand

$customfield=$field->custom_title;
if ($customfield=="RRP:")
   {
   echo $customfield;
   echo "&nbsp";
   echo $field->display;
  echo "<br>";
}
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv('salesPrice','COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_SALESPRICE',$product->prices);

but I guess you could do something like

Code Select Expand

if ($customfield=="RRP:") && ($customfield<salesprice)
   {
   echo $customfield;
   echo "&nbsp";
   echo $field->display;
  echo "<br>";
}

you can see it here if you like  http://www.vtsdemo.co.uk/tarabooks/top-level/third-class-age-8-9.html

Thanks. I would like to keep the price entry to the 'Product information' if possible, but I will look at your method if I can't find any other solution.

This is what I used in the productdetails override:

Code Select Expand


if ($this->product->prices['basePrice'] != $this->product->prices['salesPrice']) {
echo $this->currency->createPriceDiv ( 'basePrice', 'COM_VIRTUEMART_PRODUCT_BASEPRICE', $this->product->prices );
}

So it doesnt display the rrp if the prices are the same.
