Success!!!!
I was using an older post on here to add list price to product variants. I'm testing out 4.4.4 but the post was for 4.1 or 4.2 and the file structure has completely changed since. After spending hours and searching through code I finally got it working (the main part at least).
So from the admin side when you log into product variants you have list price as an extra field. When you fill in the field and click apply changes it updates the database with the list price. I also got the list price to change dynamically with the func.js script on the product details page.
Some other things that I still have to work on:
1.) Importing and exporting functionality.
2.) The save% calculation needs to be worked on.
3.) Showing the msrp for the default product variant on the product listings
I promise I will post the files I edited and the changes. I figure I needed to give back because I've used this forum hundreds of times.
