Hello,
I wonder if it exists but I am a looking for an extension to show all discounted items in a page.
Thank you

I don't think that there is any that does it straight away.

Though you can use Custom Filters to get your products by specific attribute.
You can assign a custom field to your discounted products (e.g with the value "On Discount") and then get your products based on that criteria.
You can also get the generated url to create a menu item, to display them from your menu.

https://shop.st42.fr/en/products/products-any-ways.htm can display featured products.
I can perhaps add a filter, but how you discount products ?

Melmoi

thanks for your answers !
It is 10 years I have my e-commerce on virtuemart, still looking for something to do this :)

I join a screen of how I discount items.

You can set up a category for discounted items and add those items with a discount to the new category as well as their normal category (products can be assigned to more than one category). Then use a menu item to display only the discounted category.

This is a nice way if you use discount rules.
I have many customer using Vm Be pro for that.
But it's hard to manage when you manually add discount with price overrides.

Hi all, this is quiet old subject and there's still no built-in feature to do this.

I am using discount rules to apply discount and as possible solution would be running a query to select discounted items (those that have rules applied) and for affected products generating custom field "discounted" for example.

Then using filtering based on this field to show only discounted items. 

Have anyone found better solution by any chance?
