hmm...i've tried but maybe it's not within this code. i can only find one line in product.tpl that differs from products.tpl and changing that line doesnt help. sowwy!

The 'discount' that its calculating here is the difference in 'price' (Market price) and list price (online price). I can't see where it pulls in the discount value and makes a calculation based on this.

I was talking about

1. flagging an item 'Available for global discount',
2. setting the global discount as a provider to a percentage value
3. then hoping to see it affect all the items price from step 1.

Maybe its not possible

a) get the discount value (i.e. 30%)
b) show the modified price when the user is browsing the products not just at the checkout

?

I'm figuring these must be something easy I'm missing here...?

I think (but not sure) that the 'discount_avail' applies to membership level, like if you sell wholesale to certain members (customers). That way "Wholesale" customers would see prices with the dicount applied to the products with the 'discount_avail' and normal pricing on items that it doesn't apply.

Perhaps someone that actually knows for sure will chime in.

this will display incorrectly but i THINK if you can resolve the table issue, it'll work out fine.

The areas that you are referencing ("Market Price" and "Product Price") are what I was referring to in the other thread ("Specials") http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=1144&page=5

The has to be some way to query the database to find products that have a difference and display them, I just don't know how.

Actually, I think you could just hit the 'discounts' table yourself (inthe PHP) for the discount value and then add it to Smarty before calling the template THEN do a calculation. Actually, it would be better to loop over the $products array int he PHP and make a new column called 'discounted price' (or something) and then just reference this in the template.

Boring but it works I guess.
