add item price to {download_list} email tag

[SeanChDavis]

Any reason why the {download_list} email tag doesn't support product prices/totals? I know the there are email tags for the overall transaction totals but it's not itemized.

The purchase confirmation has itemized information and it's just a confirmation page. I think the email receipt should be just as detailed if not more.

Reaching here, but for percentage discounts, it would also be sweet if each item's discount total was included since they carry a weight of the discount. That doesn't apply to flat discounts, of course.

Only reason I know of is simply it's old and hasn't received any real love in a while.

Initially, I was thinking Item Name - Price as the format but what would make the most sense when displaying the discounted amount as well? @SDavisMedia Do you envisage the item price and the discounted total of that item being placed adjacent to each other?

[SeanChDavis]

@sunnyratilal I think it could work. Perhaps Item Name - Price (discounted $x.xx).

Only issue I foresee is not being able to have the same output when the discount is a negative fee, like with Discounts Pro. Not sure I agree with having an inconsistent experience here.

Sample Purchase Receipt email template just to see a full picture of how this enhancement is useful:

Sample Purchase Receipt

<strong>Purchased downloads:</strong>
{download_list}

<strong>Subtotal:</strong>
{subtotal}

<strong>Tax:</strong>
{tax}

<strong>Total price:</strong>
{price}

@SDavisMedia yeah this get's a little funky when Discounts Pro is used:

I don't see a good way around that except for adding a 'fees' section like we do on the Purchase Confirmation.

This just looks a little odd, and while for negative fees (discounts Pro) I don't think a customer is going to have a problem with a price that's lower, I think with a positive fee, that could look concerning since the totals don't match, even though they were applied just not visible.

After talking with @SDavisMedia a bit, the concern of negate/positive fees does present a concern.

We're actually going to punt for now, and possibly introduce this as a 'new' email tag with something like download_list_with_prices which handles all the logic around negative/positive fees and allows people to switch to this new format, or continue to use the old one.
