Hi David,
I wondered if it would be possible to add a feature that would find the largest price differences for products that have comparisons. Two options either percentage or absolute.
The big advantage of such a feature is
I am pretty sure that comparisons are worked out as a page is loaded so is not a simple DB search, maybe a cron job after import?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dave
Hi David,
Thanks for that works like a charm and looks great
Cheers

Hello Dave,
I'd only really recommend this for a niche site but it's straight forward to add a computed "saving" column to the search query and offer this as a sort option. If you wanted to give this a go, edit search.php and make a Search and Replace as follows:
Search:
MIN(price) as minPriceReplace:
MIN(price) as minPrice,MAX(price) - MIN(price) AS savingThen look for the following code at line 85:
$orderByDefault["priceDesc"] = "minPrice DESC";...and REPLACE with:
$orderByDefault["priceDesc"] = "minPrice DESC";$orderByDefault["saving"] = "saving DESC";
And then the following code at line 95:
$orderByFullText["priceDesc"] = "minPrice DESC";...and REPLACE with:
$orderByFullText["priceDesc"] = "minPrice DESC";$orderByFullText["saving"] = "saving DESC";
And finally the following code at line 463:
$sortPriceDesc = ($sort=="priceDesc"?"<strong>".translate("High to Low")."</strong>":"<a href='".$sortHREF."priceDesc'>".translate("High to Low")."</a>");$banner["h3"] = translate("Order by").": ".$sortRelevance.$sortRating." | ".translate("Price").": ".$sortPriceAsc.", ".$sortPriceDesc;
...and REPLACE with:
$sortPriceDesc = ($sort=="priceDesc"?"<strong>".translate("High to Low")."</strong>":"<a href='".$sortHREF."priceDesc'>".translate("High to Low")."</a>");$sortSaving = ($sort=="saving"?"<strong>".translate("Saving")."</strong>":"<a href='".$sortHREF."saving'>".translate("Saving")."</a>");
$banner["h3"] = translate("Order by").": ".$sortRelevance.$sortRating." | ".translate("Price").": ".$sortPriceAsc.", ".$sortPriceDesc.", ".$sortSaving;
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
