Dynamic Price Updater

Hey Chrome ~

I ran in to a problem on a product, and figured you might have seen this before.
If you go to:
http://www.wholesale4realtors.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=100_103&products_id=231
...and change the quantity to 5,000

The price updater is merging the price and quantity for some reason, resulting in Your price: $249.95lbs. The attribute should result in $1999 and 100lbs.

Any thoughts? Could it be due to the weight being 3 #'s?

Hi

I notice there that you're using V1 of the Updater... V2 shouldn't be subject to this type of error (the Updater on your site is getting confused when reading the option values)

Upgrading isn't difficult... Just rename the original updater to have an underscore (or any other filesystem-friendly symbol) in front of its name then upload the new package

There are a few more settings in V2 but if anything goes wrong just let me know here :smile:

Incidentally, if anyone out there reckons they could help me out by prepping a readme file it'd be much appreciated :smile:

Cheers

Dan

if we could get a automated price with the specials showing as well without doing ajeh's trick. that would be nice. just a suggestion. also if the price of product a cost more then product b, getting rid of the higher price (product a) in the shopping cart so customers dont get confused.

Hi nyzcaddict

The specials display is something I'm working on and, while I have ideas, it's still in theory form :smile:

Could you elaborate on the second suggestion? I'm not sure I understand you fully

Cheers

Hey Chrome,
I uninstalled the old version of DPU and installed the new Version 2 and I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions?

I finally figured out why it was not working...for some reason the attribute I had selected would not allow the price to change...I created a new name for the attribute and now it works...don't have a clue why this happened but I am sure it has nothing to do with the updated DPU. It's more like human error on my part! :blush:

Hi.
What a great mod this is!. I do have one question however. I am sure it has come up before, but I cannot seem to locate it.

I would like to use the price updater on selected product pages only. Not globally. Is there any way to do this.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Chrome,

Thanks for the info I used v2 and it works. However, not for some time until I realized that I was running slimbox which when enabled caused a conflict.
It is now disabled slimbox and the dpu is working but I need a lightbox for the site. I have read through about 20 pages on the thread/ ball of wool and saw mention that there was a conflict with slimbox for v2 but I didn’t find a solution. Is there one?? Or can you recommend a lightbox addon that works with dpu?
Apoligies if I had missed the resolutions.

Thanks
Chingy

Hey Dan,

so for example if you have lotion

50ML cost 10 dollars
100ML cost 20 dollars.

if you add the 100ML to the cart and view your shopping cart, it will display $20 with $10 crossed out. kind of like the opposite of a product with a specials price (crossed out higher price and display lower price).

also if you could get the image swap on attribute to work with your mod, that would be neat.

:cheers:

Hi all

Sorry for not replying sooner... The RC licence on my W7 install ran out and I discovered that prevarication hasn't helped... For some odd reason I haven't recieved any thread updates... Right, down to business:

zandra: Thanks! :smile: This is a tricky one... It essentially means keeping a blacklist or whitelist of pages... I haven't yet decided on the best implentation but, unfortunately, there are higher priorities... If, however, this is something you really need please PM me

The Slimbox and image swap modules are failing because of the Updater (rather than the other way 'round) I believe... Please bear with me while I try to find what it is I've naulsed up :smile:

nycaddict: Sorry, the Updater doesn't affect the cart... It creates its own... For it to work as you'd like it'd have to be included in a page it currently isn't... I don't know if there is a more suitable module for expansion (I know there are things like Ajax cart mods) but I would suggest checking it out... Of course if you prefer you could PM me and we can discuss a custom solution :smile:

The next update will also incorporate logic to minimise page load times

Hopefully I'll have an update soon

Dan
