Block If an productGroupID

[LHorton]

Hi,
I am trying to add am image next to the price of some products, but not others. This is to show which products are included in the “order total discount”. I need the image to appear next to items that belong to Product Group A but not Product Group B or unallocated products. I have tried to do this with a “Block If” but I am not sure how to apply this to a Product Group.

I’ve tried productGroupID == “A” etc... but it’s clearly not as simple as that.
("A" is the name given in Marketing > Product Groups under Group Name)

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22productGroupID%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3d%3d%20%22A%22" >

	<span class="actxxsmall">(<img alt="Info" title="Price with 15% discount applied" src="info.jpg">

	<actinic:block php="true">
	
		$rawprice = <actinic:variable name="ProductPriceRaw" selectable="false" />;

		{
		  $savepercent = ROUND(($rawprice - $rawprice * 0.15), 2);
		  echo " £$savepercent)";
		  }
  
		</actinic:block>

	</span>

</actinic:block>

The attached image shows what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks for any help.

Using the GroupID variable would be my first port of call if trying this.

Block If and productGroupID

Thanks leehack,

I know the values assigned to productGroupID, but how do I find the value of GroupID to use in the block if?

I’ve tried using productGroupID == “groupname” but this doesn’t allow the block to show for any groupname.

If I use productGroupID == “” it shows for all product groups.

I have got the image and the discounted price showing on the page as I want it – I just can’t stop it displaying for product where it is not relevant.

Thanks

Just add the variable GroupID into your product layout first and then on a product that you know is in the group in question, note the number that shows. You then remove it and do your evaluations using that number.

That sorted it.

Thanks for the help leehack.

Cool, nice lateral thinking too, think it's a great idea.

For other uses of this, I'm thinking of 3 types of promotion on a site, let's say red, amber and green and each product is coloured to show in which offer it can be bought. That sounds pretty nifty to me.

If anyone else does use this...

Improvement (I think) to the above code.

replace

$savepercent = ROUND(($rawprice - $rawprice * 0.15), 2); 

...this drops any trailing zeros, so that £1.50 becomes £1.5

with

$savepercent = number_format(($rawprice - $rawprice * 0.15), 2, ".", " "); 

...this shows all values to 2 decimal places

I have very limited experience at coding , so please put me right if there are any problems with this.

Cheers
