Dynamic Price Updater

Hi

Thanks for the donation... As always it's greatly appreciated :smile: (though never required)

The solution I discovered for you was fairly unique I think

I'm glad your site is working now :smile:

Hi all

I've set up a new site for testing... Anyone that wants to see the new Updater working can go to http://chrome.me.uk/shopdev2/ for a look :smile:

Thanks to Ajeh for letting me know that the original test site was hacked

Hi Chrome,

Glad to see that you are much better and solving problems, life in the valleys is returning to normal.
I posted went you weren’t to good an think that you may have missed this, do you have a idea how to go about sorting this:-


I have been through this thread and couldn’t find any more info, this is an excellent add-on and I always use it. For my new site I have run into a problem.

I have commented out two lines in attributes.php that removes the prices from the dropdowns so just the different option name and not the prices are seen.

$products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .

$currencies->display_price($new_attributes_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_info->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) . ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX;

Problem is it stops the DPU working.

I have spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to get them both working together and I have drawn a blank. Has anyone figured out how to get this working for 1.38a as the solution earlier in this thread doesn’t work for me as its for 1.37, any changes that I make just blanks the page.

Is it possible to change the output to either a specific color, or not visible so the DPU can still work but the price can’t be seen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks!

It sounds like you're using V1 of the Updater... Have you tried V2? It doesn't rely on the display to calculate the new prices

Let me know

Cheers

Hi all

I've made another slight addition to the Updater... I noticed before that some sites can get slow at certain times of the day and it can sometimes seem as if the Updater isn't doing anything so I've added a little loading graphic to show that something is still happening

The graphic appears next to the main price and in the sidebox... For a working demo go to http://chrome.me.uk/shopdev2/ ... I've deliberately slowed the script down on the server to mimic a slow site

Cheers

Hey Chrome,

Nice! How can we add this to our DPU files? Will we need to over ride anything?

Hi

I'd recommend re-uploading the whole package... It's just a case of letting your FTP client overwrite the existing files :smile:

Dan

Ok...thanks for sharing!

hey dan, just wanted to thank you for the DPU and WELCOME BACK! :clap:

Hi

Thanks!

I'm looking for some ideas for features to add to the Updater so if anyone has any suggestions please post them here :smile:

I'm already looking into having the updater work on the category pages but that looks to be a release for some time in the future

Cheers

Dan
