Display price in cart

[nitrorc]

Does anyone know how to to display a special price in the cart only? Due to some of our products having a minimum advertised price, we cannot show that price on a main page. I've seen some pages where if you add it to the cart it gives you the sales price and it gets around the manufactures MAP. I searched the contributions and couldn't find anything. I found a call for price and a click for price where you have to make contact directly with the customer but it's not what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks :thumbsup:

you have to change the catalog\includes\classes\shopping_cart.php You check if the product is a special one (probably via some database field or using the specials table) and then you store a field with the products array so the catalog\shopping_cart.php can display this special price.

Thanks for responding so quickly!

I was thinking about your suggestion and do you think it would be better to modify the specials function or create a new function to call in the shopping cart, or should I code it right in the cart itself? Most likely if the price is below advertised, it will be in the specials category anyway.

you could do either way. there is a function already in the general.php

 

////
// Return a product's special price (returns nothing if there is no offer)
// TABLES: products
 function tep_get_products_special_price($product_id) {
$product_query = tep_db_query("select specials_new_products_price from " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$product_id . "' and status");
$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

return $product['specials_new_products_price'];
 }

which you could utilize. Either duplicate it or use it directly.
