Added to the instructions file optional instructions for those who are using the Newsletter Products contribution so that the MSRP can be used in the newletters.

I've discovered that version RC2a of osCommerce removed a function from the admin/includes/general.php that is required by this contribution. Therefore I've updated the instructions with the code for the necessary function.

The original MSRP contribution was written for osCommerce MS2. Some code got changed beginning with RC1 that has made it difficult for people to figure out how to install this contribution. I have therefore updated the instuction files to account for the changes in the osCommerce Release Candidates so if you are modifying an install of osCommerce version RC1 or later use these instructions and not the original contribution. I've also tweaked the output so that both the savings amount and the percentage savings are displayed.

This modification allows you to show that your store price is lower than the manufacturer's suggested retail price. If your price is the same as or higher than the MSRP then the MSRP will not be displayed. The customer's savings will also be displayed if it applies. Savings is based on the MSRP if it applies or on the selling price if a sale price is in effect. This version has expanded the original contribution. The MSRP is now displayed in product listings, specials listings, new product listings and the admin product info box as well as on the product detail page. People who have already installed the original contribution can start with step 8 on this version since the first seven steps have not changed. Only instructions are attached since we've modified the affected files with other contributions besides this one.

This is just like the previous except it will show ONLY the percent saved, and not the dollar amount saved (or other currency).

The percent was not being rounded, it now rounds up to the nearest whole percent, ie, 42.00000023323, will round up to 43%.

This is already a super cool contrib, and props the author. My customer just wanted the ability to show the % saved, so I added it in and thought i would share. Everything else is exactly the same. It can also be applied to CRE Loaded, as I did it, but there is a couple of file differences, nothing that cannot be found with a text find in dreamweaver or the like. Have fun!!

To see what the display looks like visit http://westerndepot.com/catalog/ and view the product listing for any item. Items manufactured by K-Line normally have prices less than MSRP.
