Show a "See Price in Cart" Message with MSRP Strikethrough Pricing

[joseibarra]

We are a reseller and some manufacturers do not allow us to offer a lower price than what they advertise on their WWW site - usually their MSRP..

Some manufacturers do allow us to offer a lower price as long as we show their retail MSRP price with a strike-through notation and we are allowed to offer the customer a lower price one the product has been added to their cart/basket.

In our old non ReadyTheme store we did this with a custom field for the MSRP and some custom coding on the Product Display Layout. We had the MSRP with strikethough and a "See Price in Cart" message

I'm having trouble getting that layout/format to display in an appealing understandable manner with the ReadyTheme since the fonts and things are all so different.

Are their any ideas about how to do something like a MSRP with strikethrough and a "See Price in Cart" kind of message?

Are there any features in the ReadyTheme that we might not know about that will allow this sort of thing?

An example with some links to some actual site that does something like this would give us some ideas.

Based solely on what I read, Sounds like you need to adjust some CSS and formatting in your original code for this to render as you want it to in the new theme. Seeing examples for help with the coding might not actually help regarding formatting since it's probably a CSS styling task and there is an outstanding chance the CSS is different in the example.

Your non RT framework likely didn't have a grid or you created one. The RT you have now has a grid and a plethora of CSS classes and selectors that can help you out. But, if you have existing HTML and template code that you would like to use you'll need to integrate and make it work within the new framework by tweaking the existing CSS or rewrite your code with the RTs classes and selectors.

Food for thought: If you have the Base ReadyTheme installed then you might be able to find a Bootstrap 3 example of what you need and kife the code and it will be close to what you're after. IOW, if your RT is not Bootstrap 3 based, you will need to use the "language" of that RT regardless of what the example looks like.

To answer the other question, there isn't a widget or tool in the RT Utility module that would do something like you're describing. The ReadyTheme is simply a bucket system that has ways to store content or sets of content with a simple way to grab that content when you need it.

I hope that at least supplies insight if you didn't know it already.

fyi: all ready themes should have a 'strike' format for prices to support basket discounting. if you haven't seen that, create a basket discount then check the basket (understand this may not really be what you are looking for). alternately, you can add a class like this:

.strike {text-decoration: line-through}

then use: <span class="strike">

or if your not into classical css rules

strike {text-decoration: line-through}

then use <strike>price here</strike>
