Deleting Discount in checkout

[gofer123]

Hi all,
I've been struggling with this all day, managed to delete the name at the top of the column but it is still showing a discount amount which the client doesn't want. Also the $-17.25, I can't find where I can remove
the  hyphen after the Dollar symbol.
Please look here:  www.satoriwebstudio.co.nz/sky-test/index.php/sample-sites-2/cart

its all in components\com_virtuemart\views\cart\tmpl\default_pricelist.php

but as it's tables you have to not only remove the td displaying the discount but also all the empty ones above and below (i.e. the column count to be the same)
you just have to suck and see exactly where it displays as it is a complex bit of code with lots of if/else etc

but what happens if you remove the price displays in the VM admin -> configuration->pricing?
This is a global setting

to remove the minus without a core hack use str_replace where you find the discount display

something like.

echo str_replace('-','',$this->currencyDisplay->createPriceDiv ($rule['virtuemart_calc_id'] . 'Diff', '', $this->cart->cartPrices[$rule['virtuemart_calc_id'] . 'Diff'], FALSE));

might work

Thanks very much for your help, I tried unchecking all boxes in configuration - pricing, the damn thing still showed up (discount amount) !
I've gone through all files in the cart folder but still no luck, getting a bit desperate, we are about to launch the site and the client definitely doesn't want a discount.
Would this be a bug? Virtuemart developers please help.
Cheers

No - you can't call the inability to do something thru a GUI a bug..

The code is there in that file - that is where you remove it -- if you haven't the skills then you employ someone

For the discount to show like that at checkout you must have a discount of 5% per bill set up and published in the BE. If you are not using discount at all then you should unpublish the rule under Taxes & Calculation Rules.

If you do want a discount but just don't want to display it then you must edit override the template file as described by GJC.

Removing the minus sign for discounts can be done in the BE, under Currency Details editor for the currency you use you should edit  Negative Format  to remove {sign}
