How prices display on the product and in the cart

[ntm91307]

After a rather long and somewhat embarrassing ordeal with how and where prices display I've come across some things I'd like to change the look and feel of my prices.  I hoping it's something I can do myself because it's not a big enough a deal to actually ask for a fix....mainly because what's there isn't really broken.

In order for prices to be passed to the cart Final salesprice needs to be enabled.  This shows the price including tax in large font on the Product page and allows the price to show in the cart.  Also, in order for the tax to display in the cart you need to enable Tax amount which causes this amount to be displayed on the Product page as well.  Ultimately what I'd like to do is keep the Product page clean and simple while still supplying the cart with everything it needs.  On the Product page I'd like to display the Price of an item only, in large font without tax and without a label.  Let all that show up in the cart.

Any thoughts?

1. set the Type of Arithmetic Operation to Tax per bill for your tax/calculation rule.

2. It sounds like you are using template overrides already as the default templates do not show a large font price. So you will need to edit [your-joomla-template]/html/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/prices.php to get the display you wish for, or maybe override the template's css.  http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/templating-layouts.html

Excellent!  Thank you.

I'm not overriding anything in the template yet but thanks for pointing me in the right direction on that.

Take care...
