Add "You Save" amount and percentage to Special Price in Magento
In order to display a "You Save" for "Special Price" products in magento--to make it look similar to amazon's price display--you can do the following:
Copy
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/price.phtml
to
app/design/frontend/default/YOURTEMPLATE/template/catalog/product/price.phtml
Then in price.phtml that you just copied, right above:
Insert:
$_savePercent = 100 - round(($_finalPrice / $_price) * 100);
$_saveAmount = number_format(($_price - $_finalPrice), 2);
?>
