Special Offers - Srikethroughs etc

[bangers]

I've created special offers on my site which use components to link to the associated product. All works well functionally but I would like to:
a) Create a strikethrough of the original price next to the reduced price so customers can see the savings they make.
b) Remove the associated product description from the checkout and basket. Whilst this doesn't effect the price at the moment it looks a little confusing when it's just a single product
Can anyone help?

Hi Lee

a) Create a strikethrough of the original price next to the reduced price so customers can see the savings they make.

I would use a custom property to do this. Create the custom property (say 'old price') in the Advanced menu. Then enter the value for that property in Product Details | Properties with strikethrough tags around it (i.e. <s>£x.xx</s>) and tick 'Use as CUSTOMVAR'. Then edit the Act_ProductLine template and stick in your customvar (say CUSTOMVAR:OLD_PRICE) where you want it - probably directly after NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE

b) Remove the associated product description from the checkout and basket. Whilst this doesn't effect the price at the moment it looks a little confusing when it's just a single product

If I understand correctly, you don't want to display both the product and the component in the cart. If you have selected 'Component as Separate Order Line' in the Component dialogue and 'Sum of Components Prices' in Product Details | Components, you should then have the option to select 'No Order Line for Main Product'. Checking this box will remove the main product description from the cart.
