DiscountManager.get_sale() does not filter on whether a sale is
restricted to certain products, and due to Satchmo's settings context
processor, the result of this method call is applied as a "sale"
context variable to every page, overriding any "sale" variable set in
the view.
Since the product/product_discount_eligible.html template is included
based on the value of "sale", the sale message ("This product is
eligible to receive a discount...") displays on every product's page,
not only the eligible ones.
So say I have a 50% off sale on all T-shirts, applied to the T-shirt
category. There's a message not only on the T-shirt pages but also on
the coffee mug pages saying that the product on that page is eligible
for a discount. Then I get a bunch of irate customers calling up
asking why the heck they were charged full price for coffee mugs when
my site said they were half off.
Additionally, the "sale" variable is used to calculate the displayed
discounted price, so if the "best discount" available for a product
(as calculated in the get_product view) is not the one being
advertised in this site-wide sale, the discounted price is incorrect.
I'm trying to work around some of this with custom views and
templates, but is this the intended behavior?
