Microdata / Rich Snippets: Price

[webmaz]

Is there a way to tag the price/sale price with microdata from schema.org?

If the code was in only HTML code, it would look like this:

Code: Select all

<div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
<span itemprop="price">$1.99</span>
<meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD" />
</div>

Take a look in the \ConLib\Utility\ProductPrice.ascx.cs file. The _RetailPriceFormat string is used to format the output for the standard price (no specials or variable price or popup price, etc). You should be able to change that to output the HTML you've shown. Something like this:

Code: Select all

private string _RetailPriceFormat = "<div itemprop=\"offers\" itemscope itemtype=\"http://schema.org/Offer\"><span class=\"msrp\" itemprop=\"price\">{0:ulc}</span> <meta itemprop=\"priceCurrency\" content=\"USD\" /></div>";

This ConLib also deals with the some of the other prices. If you use variable pricing you'll need to look at the ConLib\BuyProductDialog control.

This whole microdata thing seems pretty important and could really help everyone. Any chance of a wiki or post to tell us how to set this up correctly for everything schema.org product related? I tried to do the above but all my prices are variant based and this didn't seem to work. I added it manually to my BuyProductDialog.ascx but I'd like to hear a professionals take on how and where to add all the relevant rich snippets.

Thanks in advance.

I put this in the content scriptlet and it seems to work.

<div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
<span itemprop="price">$Product.Price.ToString("ulc")</span>
<meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD" />
</div>

Cool! Thanks! Does anyone have any tips on how to properly tag our customer reviews?

I have been experimenting with this as well. using a combination of the buyproductdialog and productreviwpanel conlibs I think I have most of the product and reviews coded. I am trying to figure out the average rating now...

The reason I say i "think" I have it correct is that the only way I know to be sure is with Google's Rich Snippet Testing tool and the results looks a bit weird.For example, here is a sample for one of my pages...
-----------------------------------------------------
Item
Type: http://schema.org/product
name = Zingy Zaps
image = http://www.bulkcandystore.com/Assets/im ... y_zaps.jpg
review = Item( 1 )
name = Delicious!
description = I have these mailed across the country for me. I can't find them, and we don't have a bulk barn ;(
review = Item( 2 )
name = Customer service
description = I have been looking for these things since I was out of high school they are my favorite candy and I am glad to come acrossed them here. Thanks for still carrying them
brand
text = SweetWorks
href = http://www.bulkcandystore.com/Search.aspx?m=29
description = These are so bright and colorful that you just have to get happy when you see and taste them!Zingy Zaps are candy coated outside with a sour sweet tart inside! Taste just like Spree® Approx....

Item 1
Type: http://schema.org/review
reviewrating = Item( 3 )
author = Penny

Item 3
Type: http://schema.org/rating
ratingvalue = (5)

Item 2
Type: http://schema.org/review
reviewrating = Item( 4 )
author = Chris

Item 4
Type: http://schema.org/rating
ratingvalue = (5)

I am using 7.04 but would be happy to show I did it if works for you...

Did you put this on the 'Show Product 1' scriptlet (or something similar)? We already have the price displayed through BuyProductDialog.ascx. It seems like we should be able to tag this code with microdata.

Something related to this line of code in BuyProductDialog.ascx:

Code: Select all

<uc:ProductPrice ID="OurPrice" runat="server" EnableDefaultKitProducts="false" /> 

I put this in the content scriptlet and it seems to work.

<div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
<span itemprop="price">$Product.Price.ToString("ulc")</span>
<meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD" />
</div>
