Introducing Myself / First Question

[kory@dancedepot.com]

Hello all. I'm a new subscriber, having just completed our site (for my
wife's retail dance shop).

It took me about a year to build the store, at the beginning of which I
hadn't a clue what html was. I'm still very novice with all of this, but am
learning every day.

If anyone would care to take a peek at our store and provide feedback, I'd
be incredibly grateful.

My first question to the board has to do with a desired text field next to a
product's regular price. Ideally, as I think it nicely demonstrates the
discount, I'd like our product prices to be listed as:

Retail Price: $39.99 Our Price!: $29.99

The retail price would be struck through as Shopsite currently does. As a
related example, see our clearance page at
http://www.dancedepot.com/Clearance.html

However, as this page demonstrates, I have no way of including the text
"Retail Price" next to the regular price. Interestingly, I found a text
field for "Price:" at Preferences...Store Text...Store Pages, but the text
in this field doesn't appear anywhere that I can find in the store.

So, my question is: Any good ideas of how to add the text "Retail Price"
next to my product prices?

Thanks in advance,

Kory

You would have to format your prices like this in a custom product
template, coding the "Retail Price" text next to the regular price in
the template.

Loren -

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.

I was afraid you'd mention customizing the template, though I thought that
would be the case. I've been very hesitant to modify the template, as I'm
learning as I go.

I did look through my product template, and am guessing the relevant code is
as follows (appears identically in two locations in the template).

####################
# PRODUCT PRICE #
####################
# if merchant wants price displayed
[--IF PRODUCT.DisplayPrice --]
# if merchant wants sale price displayed
[--IF PRODUCT.SaleOn--]
# if price is to be displayed, and product is on sale and there is a sale
price
[-- IF PRODUCT.SaleAmount --]
<strike>[-- PRODUCT.Price --]</strike>&nbsp;&nbsp;[--
PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --][--
PRODUCT.SaleAmount --][-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle
End --]&nbsp;[-- STORE.OnSaleText --]
# likewise for alternate price
[--IF PRODUCT.AltPrice--]
&nbsp;&nbsp;<strike>[-- PRODUCT.AltPrice
--]</strike>&nbsp;&nbsp;[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][--
PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --][-- PRODUCT.AltSaleAmount --][--
PRODUCT.PriceSize End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle End --]&nbsp;[--
STORE.OnSaleText --]
[-- END_IF --]
<br>
[-- END_IF --]
[--Else--]
# product is not on sale, so just display price
[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --]
[-- PRODUCT.Price --]
[--IF PRODUCT.AltPrice--]
&nbsp;&nbsp;[-- PRODUCT.AltPrice --]
[-- END_IF --]
[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle End --]
<br>
[-- END_IF --]
[-- ELSE --]
# merchant does not want price displayed, but does want sale price displayed
[--IF PRODUCT.SaleOn--]
# check to make sure that a sale price exists
[-- IF PRODUCT.SaleAmount --]
# display sale price, but not regular price
[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle Begin --][--
PRODUCT.SaleAmount --][-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle
End --]&nbsp;[-- STORE.OnSaleText --]
# same for alternate price
[--IF PRODUCT.AltPrice--]
&nbsp;&nbsp;[-- PRODUCT.PriceSize Begin --][-- PRODUCT.PriceStyle
Begin --][-- PRODUCT.AltSaleAmount --][-- PRODUCT.PriceSize End --][--
PRODUCT.PriceStyle End --]&nbsp;[-- STORE.OnSaleText --]
[-- END_IF --]
<br>
[-- END_IF --]
[-- END_IF --]
[-- END_IF --]

If you wouldn't mind offering a tip on how/where to enter the text label
"Retail Price" so that it appears next to my regular price I'd be greatly
indebted.

Thanks again,

Kory
