How to add “final sale” next to special price in cart page magento

Question

I would like to add "final sale" for sale items next to special price in cart page. i added

<span class="price-label"><?php  echo $this->__('Final Sale')  ?></span>  

in template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml but I am getting final sale for all the items in cart page. i want to add final sale for only sales items. How can i do that?

Answer 1

Use the Transate Inline.

Turn it on via System -> Configuration -> Developer -> Translate Inline.

You can change what it says by clicking it and changing the words to "Final Sale".

Answer 2

You can actually do this with an observer. The event to use is core_block_abstract_to_html_after and then you you can get that block's html with:

  $transport = $observer->getTransport();
  $html = $transport->getHtml();

  // do some stuff here to determine which items you need to edit the label for.
  // after editing the label, maybe with DomDocument and xpath, set the new html at the end 
  // of your observer like so:

  $transport->setHtml($html);

I use this method all the time because i hate modifying template files when the change is something small like you want to do.
