On a products page, I have attributes, "Chain", "Stone" and "Details" for a piece of jewelry. It shows up in the order of Chain, Details, Stone. Is there anyway to organize the option names instead of alphabetically? I looked on the attributes controller page but couldn't see anything to specify the order of the option names. :huh:
EDIT: I figured it out. You can sort them per the Option Names page! DUH! Feel free to delete this reply. :P
If it is the same Product, you can use the Quantity Price Discount on the Product Price Manager ...Quote:

I'm trying to make sense of all of this info, but I find that im even more confused. :blink:
Okay, I have a product (seminar registration) which is normally $179.
This item is on sale for $159 if purchased before Jan 1st, 2006.
I am set up, and everything is fine so far.
Now.... I am trying to allow customers to get 3 free registrations if they buy 3.
How do I set this up? -Also, does ZenCart utilize the temporary sales price into this equation?
Yes sorting works per Option Name and per Option Value within the Option Name ...Quote:

Note: there are also Default Sort Orders on the Option Values ... this let's you update all values on a Product's Attributes for the Product or Category or the whole site.
Another handy one is the Option Name Sorter and Option Value Sorter ... which are things often over looked for quickly setting default values etc and re-arranging sort orders ... :)
Hi!
First thank you for all of the great help in this forum. I have learned a lot by reading this thread and have got my clients shopping cart almost ready. They have one product that I cannot figure out how to set up ... well I can think of a way of doing it but it's not the most intuitive way for the customer to order such a product.
My client sells rugs and one of the product categories is Runners. The runners come in different widths and I have set up a separate category for each width with the styles in which the runners come listed as products in each of the width categories. The customer visiting the site then needs to let us know the length they require and pricing is a fixed dollar amount per foot.
Is there a way to set up Zen Cart to where the customer can enter in the length they need and it calculates the cost? The only way I can think to do it right now is enter an individual amount for each possible length but I don't like the idea of a drop down menu that long or that many radio buttons.
Many thanks in advance!
What if you set up the Products per Runner with the price by the foot?
Then they pick the Runner they need and order 6.5 to get 6' 6" of that runner?
I'm probably being really stupid here ... but I'm not understanding your suggestion :(Quote:

Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is have the customer enter a whole number which is the length in feet they would like and the shopping cart calculates the cost by multiplying that number by the price per foot. As far as I can tell there is no way to do that with Zen Cart.
:(
If you have the settings in the Stock for:
Allow how many decimals on Quantity
set to 2
If products_price is 4.25
And the customer orders 6.5 feet ...
$4.25 x 6.5 = $27.63
Would this work for you?
So let me make sure I'm understanding. For your example I set the price to $4.25 and then the customer would enter the 6.5 in the quantity box? I never thought of doing it that way :D I actually don't need the decimals because the runners are sold in whole feet.Quote:

My only concern is going to be if the customer wants more than one ... and for all the other products on the site if you change the quantity in the shopping cart it changes how many you are ordering but this one case will be different changing the length of the runner. I can see an opening for customer confusion ;)
I'll give it a go ...
Thanks so much for you help!
Hi,
I'm struggling with the same problem w/picture frames sold by the inch, and digital printing sold by the square inch. I've been playing with the 'price per letter' option: I tried using the letter 'x' for each inch - works. That means that the function to add 'price per something' is already there; if i could only modify the 'something'... ^_^
If i can determine where all the 'price per word/letter' stuff is, i'm pretty sure that i can copy and modify it to use an arbitrary (per attribute?) unit to assign a 'per unit' price.
I see two obvious references:
admin/includes/functions/functions_prices.php:1051
includes/functions/functions_prices.php:1098
I plan on adding a new table w/product id, attribute id, unit , price per unit - or maybe just another couple of columns on the 'trib table.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. (mainly just locations of functions for the price-per-letter stuff).
Thanks,
Chris
