Widget: Tax Exclusive Marketing Price

[G.W.Green]

Installation and Use

Install the widget as described in ‘Finding and Installing a Widget’.

The widget adds a new setting ‘Marketing Price Layout’ that will enable you to display tax-exclusive prices in the marketing lists.

To change the price display following installation of the widget:

The ‘Recently Viewed Products’ list uses a separate setting:

1. Select ‘Site Options’ from the ‘Settings’ menu.
2. Select the ‘Layout’ tab and scroll down to ‘Product’.
3. Change the ‘Marketing Price Layout’ from ‘Compact Tax Inclusive Price’ to ‘Compact Tax Exclusive Price’.
   
4. Still in the ‘Layout’ tab, scroll down to ‘Recent Products’.
5. Change ‘Recent Products Show Inc Tax’ to ‘False’.
   
6. Click ‘OK’ and upload.

NB prices in Marketing Lists, whether tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive, are taken from the base price of the product. They will take account of quantity-break prices and customer group pricing, but not component or choice prices.

Disabling and Removing the Widget

To restore the lists to their former price display, reverse the changes above. Change the ‘Marketing Price Layout’ back to ‘Compact Tax Inclusive Price’ and ‘Recent Products Show Inc Tax’ to ‘True’.
To remove the widget entirely:

1. Find the entry for the widget in the ‘Widgets’ tab, and click the ‘Installed’ button.
2. Click ‘Download Backup’ and save the backup file.
3. Import the backup file using the same method as installing a widget. This will restore the modified ‘Marketing Price List layout’ to the state it was in before you installed the widget. NB if you have made any changes to it in the meantime, they will be lost.
4. The widget added a new layout ‘Compact Tax Exclusive Price’ and Layout Selector ‘MarketingPriceLayout’ which must be removed manually:
   • Open the Library ('Design > Library' from the Sellerdeck menu) and select the 'Layouts' tab.
   • Scroll down to the 'Prices' group and expand it if necessary (click the '[+]' icon).
   • First right-click 'MarketingPriceLayout', select 'Delete' and then click 'Yes'.
     
   • Then right-click 'Compact Tax Exclusive Price', select 'Delete' and then click 'Yes'
   • Click 'Close' to leave the Library.

Code Changes

The widget adds a new layout and a new layout selector to the library, and makes a change to one existing layout.

Marketing lists currently use the price layout 'Compact Tax Inclusive Price'. The widget adds a new layout 'Compact Tax Exclusive Price', which offers a similar presentation but showing the tax exclusive price instead.

The widget adds a new selector 'MarketingPriceLayout', in the same Library group, for which both layouts are valid options.

In the 'Marketing Price List' layout, the widget replaces the fixed layout:

<actinic:variable value="Compact Tax Inclusive Price" name="PriceLayout" />

With the selector:

<actinic:variable name="MarketingPriceLayout" />
