Prices in New Products Listing & VAT

[zgap111]

We list our products in Actinic all excluding VAT.

We upgraded from v6 to v8

There is a new marketing feature and we've uploaded this to our site.

I see that the New Products / Best Selling Items are showing prices which includes VAT.

So now our site shows some prices with VAT and some without...

Can this be changed? (This can be confusing to customers.)

Thanks, Tak.

I think I can sort of see how to do it, but need instructions to do it properly.

In the design tree I have to change the "Compact Tax Inclusive Price".

I was hightlighting the "Marketing Price List" and added Variable "TaxExclusivePrice", it then has both prices, but there's no extra "box" image for this. - so I must be doing this wrong.

Please advise.
Thanks, Tak.

I think I'm getting there, within the red box "Product Price Including Tax"

I've modified it to:

<actinic:block PHP='true' SELECTABLE='false'>priceformat('<actinic:variable name="SecondCurrencyFormat" />','<actinic:variable name="TaxExclusivePrice" />', '<actinic:variable name="TaxExclusivePriceAlt" />');</actinic:block>

I'm not sure if this is the right way of doing it, but it looks correct.

Strange but I only did the modification once, but it applied it to both "New Products" AND the "Best Selling".

However I'm having a hard time re-naming the Red Box, everytime I try to, it deletes the two boxes!! Argh!

The best way to change this price to being tax inclusive is:

1. Go to 'Design | Library | Layouts' and expand the 'Prices' group.
2. Double click on the 'Compact Tax Inclusive Price' layout
3. At the top you should see some pink text that says 'Product Price Including Tax'.
4. Right click on this pink text and select 'Edit Appearance'.
5. Under 'Fixed Layout' change it to 'Product Price Excluding Tax'.
6. Click 'OK' and then 'Apply'

Okay, done it.

Is it possible to rename the wording "Compact Tax Inclusive Price" layout?

I would suggest right-clicking on the layout in Library and selecting 'New Layout' this will create a copy of the layout which you can rename to anything you like, and then select this layout for the default price layout within 'Site Options | Layout'.
