Percentage sale price...

[Guest mrchambers]

Hey all,

I have a client who has requested the ability to enter a percentage price into the 'Sale Price' input box on the product edit/add page. I thought it would be best if I gave them the option to either put in a set price (as normal) or put in a percentage - IE: If you wanted to create a sale price that is 10% off the current price, enter 90% into the 'Sale Price' box. Following is the code to make it happen!

Open admin/sources/products/index.inc.php

Around line 211, find the code;

## Generate product code

	if (empty($_POST['productCode'])) {

		$chars = array("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N",

				"O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z","1","2","3",

				"4","5","6","7","8","9","0");

and insert ABOVE that code the following;

// start mod: Percentage Sale Input - matthewianchambers.com

	if (strpos($_POST['sale_price'], '%') != false) { // do we have a percent symbol?

		$_POST['sale_price'] += 0; // make var an integer

		$record['sale_price'] = ($_POST['price']/100) * $_POST['sale_price']; // do percentage calculation on price and replace sale price

	}

// end mod:

Bingo - percentage sale prices in an instant! It's not supported, it's in no way supported but it is free

Thanks,

Matt
