Can I show VAT inclusive prices in my search results?

[KB]

v9 and later allows you to show VAT inclusive prices in your search results. To set this up go to 'Settings | Site Options | General panel' and set 'Use Tax Inclusive Prices for Online Search' to 'True'. This will display as:



You can display the inclusive and exclusive prices by making a change to one of the perl scripts. Do the following:

* ensure that 'Use Tax Inclusive Prices for Online Search' is set to 'False'

* browse to your site folder and locate the 'SearchScript.pl' file and take a backup

* open the file in a text editor such as notepad and search for:

# The price formatting is a little more complex

* Underneath it, you should see the following:

$sTemp = "";
if ($$::g_pSearchSetup{SEARCH_SHOW_PRICE} && # only display the price if it is on and prices are displayed
$$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED} &&
$Product{PRICE} != 0)
{
($status, $sError, $sTemp) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($Product{PRICE}, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($status != $::SUCCESS)
{
ACTINIC::CleanupIndex($rFile);
return($status, $sError);
}
}
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_PRICE', $sTemp);

* replace it with:

$sTemp = "";
# if ($$::g_pSearchSetup{SEARCH_SHOW_PRICE} && # only display the price if it is on and prices are displayed
# $$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED} &&
# $Product{PRICE} != 0)
# {
# ($status, $sError, $sTemp) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($Product{PRICE}, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
# if ($status != $::SUCCESS)
# {
# ACTINIC::CleanupIndex($rFile);
# return($status, $sError);
# }
# }
# $ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_PRICE', $sTemp);

if ($$::g_pSearchSetup{SEARCH_SHOW_PRICE} &&
$$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED} &&
$Product{PRICE} != 0)
{
($status, $sError, $sTemp) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($Product{PRICE}, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($status != $::SUCCESS)
{
ACTINIC::CleanupIndex($rFile);
return($status, $sError);
}
if ($Product{PRICE})
{
my $sTemp1;
my $nTaxPrice = ActinicOrder::RoundTax($Product{PRICE} * 1.175, $ActinicOrder::SCIENTIFIC_NORMAL);
($status, $sError, $sTemp1) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($nTaxPrice, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($status == $::SUCCESS)
{
$sTemp .= " Excluding VAT (" . $sTemp1 . " Including VAT)";
}
}
}
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_PRICE', $sTemp);

* close and save the file and update the site.

Your search results will now look like:




If you want to show the inclusive price first then use this code instead:

$sTemp = "";
# if ($$::g_pSearchSetup{SEARCH_SHOW_PRICE} && # only display the price if it is on and prices are displayed
# $$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED} &&
# $Product{PRICE} != 0)
# {
# ($status, $sError, $sTemp) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($Product{PRICE}, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
# if ($status != $::SUCCESS)
# {
# ACTINIC::CleanupIndex($rFile);
# return($status, $sError);
# }
# }
# $ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_PRICE', $sTemp);

if ($$::g_pSearchSetup{SEARCH_SHOW_PRICE} &&
$$::g_pSetupBlob{PRICES_DISPLAYED} &&
$Product{PRICE} != 0)
{
($status, $sError, $sTemp) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($Product{PRICE}* 1.175, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($status != $::SUCCESS)
{
ACTINIC::CleanupIndex($rFile);
return($status, $sError);
}
if ($Product{PRICE})
{
my $sTemp1;
my $nTaxPrice = ActinicOrder::RoundTax($Product{PRICE}, $ActinicOrder::SCIENTIFIC_NORMAL);
($status, $sError, $sTemp1) = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($nTaxPrice, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($status == $::SUCCESS)
{
$sTemp .= " Including VAT (" . $sTemp1 . " Excluding VAT)";
}
}
}
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('S_PRICE', $sTemp);
