Show Price instead of Price Offset on Product Page

[willowisp]

I have searched the forums for 3 hours trying to find out how to do this.

I am trying to have the cart show the actual price on the products page instead of the price offset: for example

radio_button: 6ct (-$11.00)
radio_button: 12ct
radio_button: 30ct (+$30.00)

So instead of showing the "-$11.00" I would like it to show the actual price such as $28.00 (this would be for the 6ct, base price of $39.00 minus $11.00).

If someone could help it would be much appreciated.

If I understand the question, you wouldn't enter a base price for that product, and select 'Price by Attributes' in the product setup page.

Ok, so I have set the flag "priced by attribute" to yes on the product page, and I still cannot get it to display the actual price, it still displays the price difference. I am wondering now if there is a problem with the install as I have purchased the zen cart manual, and found the section that talks about this. I followed the instructions in the manual and it is not working. I am trying to get the actual price to display on a product page with attributes instead of the offset price for each attribute, for example:
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO HAVE DISPLAYED
6ct ($12.00)
12ct ($18.00)
24ct ($24.00) This is the regular item price

Right now it keeps displaying:
THIS IS WHAT IS BEING DISPLAYED
6ct (-$12.00)
12ct (-$6.00)
24ct

Please help if anyone knows how to fix this or if someone else has had an issue with this.

Edit the Product ...

Product Priced by Attributes: Yes

Product Price: 0.00

Go to the Attributes Controller ...

Edit the:
6ct
Set prefix to blank as in nothing in this input box
Set the price to: 12.00

Edit the:
12ct
Set the prefix to blank as in nothing in this input box
Set the price to: 18.00

Edit the:
24ct
Set the prefix to blank as in nothing in this input box
Set the price to 24.00

See if that works better for you ...

That works to display the correct price, thank you very much for your help. The problem I now have is when I apply a quantity discount (for example if you purchase 2 or more of the $12.00 product, the price per product is supposed to be $11.00 each, subtracting $1.00 for each product ordered) it will not display the correct price.

Do you know how to make this work correctly? Again, thanks for taking your time to help.

There you run into a Problem with Discount Quantities ...

You can try using the Attribute Discount Quantities and see if those work for you ...

Priced by Attributes does not extend the Discount Quantities to the Attributes in the same manner as using the Product Price and the added/subtracted Attribute prices ...

Thanks for the reply. Could you let me know more details on how to make this work using attributes? Thanks for helping me.

It would take me a month of Sundays to explain everything about Attributes ...

I would do some searches on the Forum and in the Tutorials/FAQ for Attribute to see examples of how Attributes can be used and pricing methods ...
