Dynamic Price Updater

Hi

The Updater should already be capable of understanding radio boxes

Give it a try... If it doesn't work post a link to the failing page here (or PM it to me) and I'll take a look

Here you go

http://www.printsxpress.com/index.ph...&products_id=1

Notice the 2 sizes 8x10 and 10x10. I need to add about 20 more sizes but I would like to make sure this will work first.

Thanks for your time

Hi Jeff

I think the problem here *might* be the line-break in the LABEL text

Can you try removing that and seeing what happens? If this does fix the problem I'll write a quick codefix and upload it

If that doesn't work could you switch on the debug function (instructions are a page or 2 back)? That may help track down the issue

Cheers

Dan

I changed it to now read "Size" instead of 3 different words. I still does not work. I'll set up the debug when i get back from lunch.

thanks for your time

Hi

Slight misunderstanding here I think... When I said LABEL (capitalised as it's an HTML element) I meant the bit that says, e.g., 8"x10" (+$79.00)

The line-break appears between the 8"x10" and the (+$79.00) bits

The updater should be able to read the line-break but I don't think it is for some reason (as the BR is an HTML element, it's probably breaking the text into 2 distinct nodes, of which only one is being read... Thinking aloud :smile:)

I would say to drop the BR in the attribute name and see what happens... If this isn't possible or doesn't work switch on the debug and we'll go from there

HTH

OK, I turned on debug mode. Check it out again at http://www.printsxpress.com/index.ph...&products_id=1

Sorry to bother you, I know you must be quite busy

Hi

I've had a look at the page and have noticed you've added a lot of radios and removed the break from the LABELs... That seems to have fixed it from what I can see

I think it's safe to turn the debug mode off now :smile:

If you want the sidebox to show up find this line:

var _sidebox = 'information';

I'd recommend changing the 'information' to 'whatsnew'

That should force the Updater sidebox to appear above the New Products sidebox

HTH and let me know how you get on

Dan

I actually have another issue. My pricing for this product is controlled by the attributes. Do you notice that the price that shows up is incorrect?

Notice how when you go to the page it does indeed reflect the lowest attribute price. As soon as you check on another print size it appends the cost instead of just changing it. Do you have a suggestion on this?

Yeah I have seen this issue before... It's down to the way the Updater reads the attributes... I'm waiting for 1.3.8 to really get to fixing that (largely because I don't have it quite sorted yet :smile:)

For now there are 2 solutions I can suggest, though neither are a satisfactory long term remedy

1 - Set the base price of the product to 0 and preselect the lowest attribute (so the starting price would be $0.00 but the 8"x10" radio is selected)

2 - I don't actually know how to do this but I think you can remove the + displayed in the price of the attribute (so it shows as ($83.99) rather than (+$83.99))... This forces the Updater to treat the price as a base price adjustment

If neither of these work for any reason or you're not able to implement them let me know and I'll sort something out for you

Sorry about that

Dan

Well, I already tried suggestion 1 and can't figure out #2. Also didn't find in any threads. hmmm. Sorry to be a bother my friend. You are most helpful.
