[AH]

 

Prices are now controlled by a sublayout

Put the change in the override

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

The solution works for VM3

this is line 52

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

this is the warning why is that?

[AH]

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'].

god I miss woocommerce

use basePriceVariant!

[AH]

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

Code Select Expand

$discount_percent = round(($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 Expand


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