Price history for VirtueMart

Product Description

• Installation and setup
  The plugin is installed by default according to the Joomla CMS rules. In the settings you can change the price tracking time and date format for the chart.
• Initial data fill
  For the system to work properly you need to perform initial populate in the plugin settings on the Initial populate tab. When you click on the button Start populating db table, the db will create the prices of products without discounts and with current discount. The price without discount is taken as the base price and the discount amount and lowest price information is calculated from it.
• Modifying the product price view
  Duplicate the template: copy the Virtuemart price template from /components/com_virtuemart/views/sublayouts/prices.php to /templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/html/components/com_virtuemart/views/sublayouts/prices.php.
  A sample of the changes to the original file is attached to the plugin in the **SAMPLE** folder ( Virtuemart 3.4.2 ).
• Basic price history trigger call
  You need to specify a place to display the price, discount and chart. This location can change based on the project, so we will determine it by calling the trigger see php code.
  $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
$historyPrice = $dispatcher->trigger('getProductHistoryPrice', array($product->virtuemart_product_id))[0];
• Discount - ideally used in the conditions to display the original price etc.
  (float)$historyPrice['discount_price']
• Original price - html structure may differ from your site
  if ( (float)$historyPrice['priceWithoutDiscount'] > 0 ) {
  $html = '';
  $html .= '
  ';
  $html .= '' . JText::sprintf( 'PLG_SYSTEM_VMPRICEHISTORY_MINIMUM_PRICE', (int)$historyPrice['lastDays'] ) . '';
  $html .= '' . $currency->priceDisplay( (float)$historyPrice['priceWithoutDiscount'] ) . '';
  $html .= '
  ';
  echo $html;
  }
• Discount - html structure may differ from your site
  if ( (float)$historyPrice['discount_price'] > 0 ) {
  $html = '';
  $html .= '
  ';
  $html .= '' . JText::_( 'COM_VIRTUEMART_CART_SUBTOTAL_DISCOUNT_AMOUNT' ) . '';
  $html .= '' . $currency->priceDisplay( (float)$historyPrice['discount_price'] ) . '';
  $html .= '
  ';
  echo $html; }
• Listing chart on product detail
  We recommend adding it to the desired location in /components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php if you don't have a product detail override in your store template.
  $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
$historyPrice = $dispatcher->trigger('getProductPriceHistoryGraf', array($this->product->virtuemart_product_id))[0];
