sales / price drop tag also shown in product overview on home page?

[Pippo3000]

hi, is it just me on v1.3.2 or does PS really not show the sales/price-drop tag for products on the home page? I see the product and updated (lesser) price but not a tag like sale or reduced price or whatever you called it. That I only see once I click on the product and see the product details page. Is this a 'feature'? I mean if I am about to advertise reduced products on the home page of my shop then one cannot actually see at first sight that they are reduced unless they click in the product?!

Hi Phil, I'm new to Presta Shop and I'm experiencing the same problem! All I can do is plaster a huge SALE NOW ON! sign on the homepage and link it to the best sale page. But you're right its a big shame that the featured products on the homepage are not displayed as marked down when they have been.

yep. does not make sense. why are the very same products handled differently on the home page than in the category?

is there any possibility to make home products look like categories products?

folks, anbody elsle here to shed some light on this? will this be covered by v1.4.x? if not, what would I need to do to add a sales tag (e.g. png file) to be shown in the e.g. top left corner of the product image?


happy new year!

I can confirm this issue. For some reason, PrestaShop decided not to display the product reductions in the featured products block. I don't think it has been fixed in v1.4 either. You can post a feature request on the bug tracker. In the meantime, you will have to copy the reduction code from product-list.tpl over to homefeatured.tpl:

{if $product.on_sale}
{l s='On sale!'}
{elseif ($product.reduction_price != 0 || $product.reduction_percent != 0) && ($product.reduction_from == $product.reduction_to OR ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' <= $product.reduction_to && $smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' >= $product.reduction_from))}
{l s='Price lowered!'}
{/if}

too bad it will not be changed. will need to edit then myself. now, where exactly do I need to add the code. see my homefeatured.tpl attached. thanks!

After line 27 should do. It's hard to know what it will look like though, since that file is different to the default PrestaShop theme.

yep, too hard for me.

also, found another way which I would prefer, though it destroys my template if I add the code mentioned here:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/85522/integration/how_do_i_add_image_overlay_to_products_on_sale_dot_/

asked my media agency silbersaiten.de to quote a price tag for the implementation...
