Cant retrieve discounted product price in custom script

Question

I have a custom script that outputs a list of particular products in csv format. The frontend of the store just runs fine, however when retrieving the price of a product in my s

Answer 1

Product final price is calculated in an observer, and your script is not loading the events configuration.

See my addition below.

<?php   
    require 'app/Mage.php';
    Mage::app('default');

    //load event configuration areas
    Mage::app()->loadAreaPart(Mage_Core_Model_App_Area::AREA_FRONTEND, Mage_Core_Model_App_Area::PART_EVENTS);

    $product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->load(27809);

    echo $product->getFinalPrice();
?>

See Mage_CatalogRule_Model_Observer::processFrontFinalPrice();.
