Discount price on product pages

[leehack]

Go with sledgehammer approach lol:

$Discount = int(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>);

or

$Discount = intval(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>);

or

$Discount = strval(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>);

<actinic:block php="true">
	//	$Str = <Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo"/> ;
		$Str = "30" ;
		$Discount = intval($Str) ;
		echo "<br>SALE PRICE £" . number_format(<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> - (<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * $Discount / 100), 2);
</actinic:block>

This works
BUT

<actinic:block php="true">
		$Str = <Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo"/> ;
	//	$Str = "30" ;
		$Discount = intval($Str) ;
		echo "<br>SALE PRICE £" . number_format(<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> - (<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * $Discount / 100), 2);
</actinic:block>

This does not

and also tried all of these:

<actinic:block php="true">
	// $Discount = intval(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>)
	// $Discount = strval(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>); 
		$Discount = int(<Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo" encoding="perl" selectable="false"/>);
		
		echo "<br>SALE PRICE £" . number_format(<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> - (<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * $Discount / 100), 2);
</actinic:block>

with different errors
intval error = Parse error: parse error in main line 6
strval error = Warning: wrong paraneter count for strval() in main on line 3
int error = Fatal Error: Call to undefined function int() in mani line 4

What happens if you just do a simple echo of the contents of that variable?

[leehack]

<actinic:block php="true">
	$Str = <Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo"encoding="perl" selectable="false" /> ;
	$Discount = intval($Str) ;
		echo "<br>SALE PRICE £" . number_format(<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> - (<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * $Discount / 100), 2);
</actinic:block>

Nope - sorry - had already tried that - but tried again and no joy.

More testing and eventually got it

the echo did not work so looked deeper
it all seems to need to be inside a Block

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsRestrictedToCustomer%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20true" >   
   <actinic:block php="true">
	$Str = <Actinic:Variable Name="DiscountInfo"encoding="perl" selectable="false" /> ;
	$Discount = intval($Str) ;
		echo "<br>SALE PRICE £" . number_format(<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> - (<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" /> * $Discount / 100), 2);
    </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Thanks for your help - so simple in the end.....

I think this could be a useful wee bit of code for many users....

Nice one, a happy ending for a Friday night.

[Truska]

Yes a good way to start the w/e - I can see further fun with this though so I need to set aside some time next week.

We also want to show the price on the section page and I am using code from this forum to do that but the working code we got just now does not work at that level when cut-n-pasted over to the section layout.

Not done any diagnosis yet though .... I can, I think, understand why - but worth a try I guess.

Have to shut down now - family giving off and I have a flight to catch at 6:40am and still to pack..

Thanks for your help today - much appreciated

Copy pasting can sometimes creep some gremlins in, make sure you have a block on product list and one inside that on productprice. The AUG code might paste better if not.

Here's what i've used for the past 3 or 4 years with no problems on a section link layout:

<actinic:block type="ProductList" ><actinic:block type="PriceList" ><actinic:variable name="PriceLayout" /></actinic:block></actinic:block>
