Get Special Price for Extension

Hi,

I'm trying to modify an extension which adds an equals sign as one of the possibilities for option value. This works fine with the regular price, but the special price messes it up. The developer hasn't been around for pretty much a year.

Here is the code it uses for calculating the price (it edits system/library/cart/cart.php):
I've tried replacing $product_query->row['price'] with $product_special_query->row['price'] but that doesn't work.

Essentially, I just need some code which will output the value of the special price (100% of products will have a special price, so it doesn't need to do anything fancy like check if it's cheaper or anything like that - just outputting the value of the special price will do.

If anyone can help, that would be great.

Running on 3.0.3.2.

Then why do you need a special price?

Fake discounting technique. A pretty common thingie.

Ah I see

Not sure what you are trying but the option price is added or subtracted from the final product price whether that is a regular price, discounted price or a special price.

If "=" should mean no addition or subtraction, then simply set the option price to zero.

To show the discount from the product's official RRP.

The = allows for a value of options. It changes the base price to what the equals price is set to. We have products of different sizes and get price lists in sizes - so using + means a lot of working out.

The way this extension does it is to work out the difference between the regular price and the "=" price and adds that to the price.

Hi there,

There is no such code written to calculate option price with special price, simply, regular price is added with option price.
Its a custom work, if you want to calculate option_price with special_price then do ping us in personal.

Thanks & Regards :
