his technique will calculate a saving on prices based on the value of 'RRP' – a custom variable that you will need to create.
It will display as follows within your product layouts.
RRP: £10 – you save 8%
To do this:
1. Create a new variable called 'RRP' (Design | Library | Variables). It needs to have a type of 'Number' rather than 'Text'. (for more information on creating variables see the main help files - 'Understanding Variables > Adding a New Variable').
2. Enter some RRP values for your products. Remember to NOT include a currency symbol.
3. Copy and paste the following code into your product layout(s) wherever you want the price saving message to appear.
<actinic:block php="true" selectable="false">
$rrp = <actinic:variable name="RRP" selectable="false" />;
$rawprice = <actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" />;
$rawprice = $rawprice * 1.175; // add in vat if showing VAT inc prices
// only display is we have an RRP and there's a saving to show
if ( ($rrp != 0) && ($rrp > $rawprice) )
{
$savepercent = round((($rrp - $rawprice) / $rrp) * 100);
echo "RRP £$rrp - you save $savepercent%";
}
</actinic:block>
4. Apply changes and check the results in the preview.
There are several areas where you can tweak this code.
* Use a currency other than pounds by amending the '£' just before where it says '£$rrp'
* If you use a tax rate other than VAT at 17.5% then you can amend the line that talks about 'add in vat if showing VAT inc. prices'. If you don't charge tax at all you can safely delete this line.
