Magento 2.1 move currency symbol for rich snippets

Question

All M2 themes I have tested do not have proper structured data/rich snippets. The currency symbol is in the price span, and gets a warning:

An example: link to snippet Problem code cleaned up a bit:

<span itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
    <span  data-price-amount="54"  data-price-type="finalPrice" itemprop="price">
    <span class="price">$54.00</span>    </span>
    <meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD" />
</span>

Error: price $54.00 (The property $54.00 is not a valid price specification. Find out more about http://schema.org/price.)

If the $ is taken out of <span class="price">$54.00</span> like this it validates fine:

<span itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
$<span  data-price-amount="54"  data-price-type="finalPrice" itemprop="price">
<span class="price">54.00</span>    </span>
<meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD" />

But I cannot find which files are creating the price code and which code to change. What is the best way to validate the structured data?

Answer 1

This is proper solution and worked

Go to extended file of this:

vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/base/templates/product/price/amount/default.phtml

Replace:

$block->getSchema() ? ' itemprop="price"' :

With:

$block->getSchema() ? ' itemprop="price" content="' . $block->getDisplayValue() . '"':

Answer 2

I edited this file -

vendor\magento\module-catalog\view\base\templates\product\price\amount\default.phtml

moved to theme

app\design\frontend\(Vendor)\(Store)\Magento_Catalog\templates\product\price\amount\default.phtml

The line

<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $block->formatCurrency($block->getDisplayValue(), (bool)$block->getIncludeContainer()) ?>

contains $block->formatCurrency which is causing the error. Remove this or change it to <?php echo $block->getDisplayValue(); ?> and the price will now validate.

You can then hardcore the currency symbol before <span <?php if ($block->getPriceId()) But there is a JavaScript code that will overide this file and add it in. If you do not want this happening -

vendor\magento\module-catalog\view\frontend\templates\product\view\form.phtml

moved to

app\design\frontend\(Vendor)\(Store)\Magento_Catalog\templates\product\view\form.phtml

and remove the line - priceBoxes.priceBox({'priceConfig': <?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $block->getJsonConfig() ?>}); that was calling the JavaScript.

Answer 3

After struggling for a long time with this problem I found this fix -

<meta itemprop="price" content="<?php echo preg_replace('/[^0-9.]+/', '',strip_tags(Mage::helper('core')->currency($_product->getFinalPrice()))); ?>">

Just insert that line above this one -

<span class="price"><?php echo $_coreHelper->currency($_price,true,false) ?></span>
