How do i get the annual cost to display? (only monthly displays!)

[janice171]

Hi,

 

I'm working my way through WHMCS but one thing i'm stuck on is that I am unable to get the Annual cost display on the front-end, only the monthly cost displays.

Is there a checkbox i'm missing?

 

Thanks

this could be a couple of things depending upon where you're seeing the monthly price.

 

one checkbox you may want to look at is...

 

Setup -> General Settings -> Ordering Tab -> untick "Monthly Pricing Breakdown"

[PowerChaos]

you need to do a template edit to display the yearly price

 

{if $product.bid}
{if $product.displayprice}<span class="pricing">{$product.displayprice}</span><br />{/if}
{$LANG.bundledeal}
{else}
{if $product.pricing.hasconfigoptions}{$LANG.startingfrom}<br />{/if}
<span class="pricing">{$product.pricing.minprice.price}</span><br />
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "monthly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermmonthly}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "quarterly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermquarterly}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "semiannually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermsemiannually}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "annually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermannually}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "biennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermbiennially}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "triennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermtriennially}
{/if}
{/if}

 

the above code is taken from the slider template

you can change the elseif to if so you get the following code

{if $product.bid}
{if $product.displayprice}<span class="pricing">{$product.displayprice}</span><br />{/if}
{$LANG.bundledeal}
{else}
{if $product.pricing.hasconfigoptions}{$LANG.startingfrom}<br />{/if}
<span class="pricing">{$product.pricing.minprice.price}</span><br />
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "monthly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermmonthly}
{/if}
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "quarterly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermquarterly}
{/if}
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "semiannually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermsemiannually}
{/if}
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "annually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermannually}
{/if}
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "biennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermbiennially}
{/if}
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "triennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermtriennially}
{/if}
{/if}

you are correct that editing the template would be the next step, but I think that your code is incorrect.

 

if you have a product that has two prices - monthly and annually - then $product.pricing.minprice.cycle is always going to be monthly, and so will always display the monthly price.

 

i've posted the fix to do this in another order form previously, but I can't find the post. I intentionally didn't post any code in the last reply as we don't know which order form they are using.

 

e.g, if they were using "comparison", then the fix is one line of code - in products.tpl @ line 56, you would replace...

 

{$product.pricing.monthly}

with

 

{$product.pricing.annually}

and then the comparison table would always show the annual price.

Thank you so much, this is indeed what i was looking for. I just added the extra {$product.pricing.annually} so i can display both the monthly and annual prices.

Now what's the best way to do this...should i copy the ..templates/orderforms/comparison directory so that i don't overwrite the default files?

yes - copy, rename and reupload... or just rename it to something else and select it in the ordering and/or product pages of setup.
