I would like to donate this code to OpenCart core as it is useful for many people.

I have already submitted a pull request (meaning submitted the code to core team).

Please vote at http://opencart.uservoice.com/forums/52 ... e-you-save to encourage the core team to include my code (this feature) in OpenCart core.

If you are running any promotions (Specials in OpenCart parlance), then it is a great idea to tell the customers not only what the regular and special prices are, but also what they are saving.

Following the example of Amazon, this extension add a savings notice "You save: $x (y%)" below the price on product page.

Because this is a vQmod, no core files are touched, and the changes should carry over to the next version.

I hope you enjoy this extension. If you'd like to donate, please click on the Donate button in my signature.

Requirements

This is a vQmod for Opencart. Hence you need Opencart (tested on 1.5.3.1) and vQmod (tested on 2.1.7) preinstalled. Opencart is available at http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... d/download and vQmod is available at http://code.google.com/p/vqmod/downloads/list
This vQmod is made for the Default theme. Hence you should have the default theme as the active theme for this to work. While you can very easily modify this for other themes, the out-of-the-box support is only for Default theme. If you don't know how, and need me to do paid customization, please PM me

Installation

Upload the contents of the uploads folder to your shop's root folder.

Styling

You can change what the savings notice looks like by adding you-save class to your stylesheet.css e.g.

Code: Select all

.you-save {color:red;}

Multilingual

If you have a non English language installed, you need to edit the file

Code: Select all

catalog/language/yourlanguage/product/product.php

Find

Code: Select all

// Entry

Add before

Code: Select all

$_['text_yousave']        = 'You save:';

(obviously translate "You save:" to your language)

Hi, First of all thanks for a really awesome extension!

I'm using a custom theme. What do I need to modify so that this extension works? Do I need to edit the product template for the theme?

Thanks!

I have a problem with this extension.I managed to make the translation to my country and replace the default theme with mine.Everything works ok except when i add one more item of the same product the price remains the same.eg
1 product cost 45,00€ with the "save" costs 40,00€ so you save 5,00 € 11%. When i choose 2 products it says:
cost 90,00€ with the "save" costs 80,00€ you save (again) 5,00€ 11%. The price of the save remains the same.How can i updated.I think something is inside the xml code to add.Thank you in advance

That's not true.

Here's why: This extension applies to the product page. Irrespective of what number you put in quantity, the price does not change. So neither does the saving.

So, irrespective of whether you put 1 product or 2 or 5, the price remains 45,00€ in OpenCart - price is the rate at which an item sells. So this extension also shows saving based on the price and the special price.

Seems what you are after is something that works in the shopping cart, and so changes "Totals" (not prices). That is not an unreasonable request, but is just not what this extension is designed to do. Nor is such a function planned for this extension.

This is the correct place IF your OpenCart is installed in public_html (as opposed to, say, public_html/shop).

You need to have:

vQmod already installed
Default theme as the active theme

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:16 am**

Hi
Yes I have default as the theme but still no change or am i looking at wrong place, where do i look to check default theme??

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2012 2:35 am**

System > Settings > {Edit Store} > Store
In Template dropdown, select Default.

Also, do you have vQmod installed? http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=40987

Posted: **Tue Oct 23, 2012 5:06 pm**

Hi
Yes I have set it at default and yes I have vqmod installed and on vqmod manager have installed and enabled.. I have other extensions that use vqmod such as visitor tracker which are working well....

In that case you have a conflicting extension modifying the product page.

This is not a problem. It's just a warning message. If this file is not found, the extension just skips and moves to next modification. It should not create any functionality issues at all.

Hi there,
I have a problem i have installed tik-you-save-1-1 extension (vqmod) because i wanted to display (in percent %) how much money they save after an online buy.

e.g.
So if someone buys pack and lets say something costs 100 € with 15% save pay only 85€ if they add options: pack two + 50€, pay only 127,5€ the display is 135€ see only 15% to 100€ more 50€, must show 15% of € 150 = 127€

Can you do something?
