Sale Price - Expressions

Originally Said By: Jason Byrnes

  Try using this calculation:
([OnSale] == 'Y')?('<s>'.number_format([Price],2,'.',',').'</s>'.number_format([SalePrice],2,'.',',')):number_format([Price],2,'.',',')  

I found the above on another thread and it made me wonder if I could change how I add the sale price.

I currently put this calculation on the page itself and when the user clicks Add To Cart, the page self-links and the calculation is determined by what session variable was activated.

So, on top of the page I use this if statement:

<%
If Request.Form("Discount") = "0" then %>
<%Session("ItemPrice") = Request.Form("BasePrice")%>
<% End if %>
<%
If Request.Form("Discount") = "1" then%>
<%Session("ItemPrice") = Request.Form("SalePrice")%>
<%End If%>

If it's discounted, it sets the "ItemPrice to the the price from SalePrice hidden form field and if it's not, it comes from the BasePrice field.

What I'm trying to do is get rid of this on the page and have it do this in the "Calculation" tab.

What would be the equivalent Calculation in VBscript be like that would accomplish the same thing as I have for the "Session Variable method" on the page itself?

To do this with a calculation you would need to start out by making sure you have the baseprice, saleprice, and discount columns in your cart. Once those are present you can craft the calculation.

calculation for itemprice

WA_eCart_IIf(([Discount] = 1),[SalePrice] ,[BasePrice])

This calculation says if the discount column is 1 use the sale price, else use the base price. You would also want to edit your total total price calculation to work with the itemprice rather than the standard price.

Thanks!

I shall give it a try.

hi there am quite intrested in this, sorry to hijack the thread....

how would you do this in php?

WA_eCart_IIf(([Discount] = 1),[SalePrice] ,[BasePrice])

is that the correct code with no typo's to add in the calculations formular on the calculations tab in ecart?

in php you would write the same code as:

abs([Discount] == 1)?[SalePrice]:[BasePrice]
