price Attributes

yes it was text I typed in the attribute next to the 4Ft. Yes I know it appears as free, but what I need it to do is show the size's/prices for each size's I have. Like 4Ft $45.00 5Ft $85.00 and so on. On the shopping cart issue of it not loading for people how do I fix that? The install tut is sorta confusing for me.

I'm guessing (and totally a guess at the moment), that it didn't load because the link was to the shopping cart, instead of to a specific product or just the main page."

I am not sure what problem Stevesh had with accessing the link. I looked at the link that was provided and saw that it went to the shopping cart (main_page=shopping_cart) and removed that portion of the URI before going to your store. So, the only word of assistance I can give related to posting a link on this site is to ensure that if you want people to get to the destination, that it is something anyone can get to. In your case, you would have wanted to provide the link I said I found, and then provide direction to have someone add it to their cart and see the results (no additional fee for the different sizes).

Now, on that note: You have created Option names, and you have created Option Values, and then you have gone into the Attributes Controller and added the various combinations of items to the product. While in the Attributes Controller of the admin, you need to enter the associated cost(s) related to your product/attribute combinations.

So, select your category from the top of the window (wait for it to load), then select the product that you want to work with. Click display.
For the product you are working with, select the edit next to the attribute to which you want to assign a cost.

The screen will refresh with the Option Value selected and you should see an area that has Prices and Weights, and two buttons on the right (Update and cancel).
In the first pair of boxes (Price) you can see a '+', in the second box will probably be a zero '0'. If you want to increase the base price of your product by $65 for this selection, then change the zero to 65.

Update the record, then check it out, when you add that item with that attribute to your cart, the price should be $65 greater than the base price.
Now as to the fact that it is free... It would appear that the product has a price of zero (entered through the catalog) and although the price of the item is not shown on the product page itself, it is still in the "title" of the product which reflects 1FUR-(1) - $0.00. So choosing the selection that would add 45 dollars would result in paying a total of 65, not 65 plus some base price. Either may be applicable; however, you may find in other stores that there is a base price (default selection) and then to get something "better" would pay an additional fee. It is my opinion that this is generally a personal choice of presentation, management, and analysis.

I realize that the site is heavily under construction, but maybe this will help you with your future endeavors?

first off thank you very very much on the pricing I got it. I have one other ? if I may on my color's your basic red, blue..etc may prices are like 5 inch 5.00 etc. I also have Special Vinyl that needs a different price for same size's but at a $1.25 per inch so like a 10-inch @ a $1.25 would be $12.50 and my cart show's $11.25 is there a "%" that I can do to make it right

So, I'll be honest from the above description I don't understand what the problem is (why when you enter 1.25 per inch and request 10 inches that it doesn't calculate to 12.50), but in regards to any question of is it possible, the answer is yes to anything that can be programmed, it's just a matter how easy/hard it will be to accomplish and whether it can be done with default ZC options, a plugin, or hard coding options into ZC.

Check out the following two resources on the zen-cart website, then maybe also search through the posts about any of the features you have a question about:

I'm not sure. it only add's the basic color price which $10.00 for a 10 inch + the $1.25 for holographic which show's $11.25. My hubby said for it to come out right it needs to be a percent. And sorry for the confusion. And thank you for the links

Sorry for not responding sooner, life...

So there are a feww things you can consider without digging into the ZC code to accomplish what you want.
You could possibly split your products out a little so that you can properly process charges based on what is presented to the customer on screen and provide links to the other style/coloroption that charges at a different rate. You could possibly use like a multiple quantity setup, such that purchasing 10 charges. This fee, 5 this fee etc...

I haven't looked this up in a while, but possibly the price by attribute option offers some additional functionality. The use of a multiplication sign instead of a plus or minus?

All-in-all talking about series of math equations with the options immediately available in ZC. There are other options I haven't discussed, and there are possibly other add-ins that might accomplish what you are trying to do, but most of the discussions I have seen have been to split the purchase options out so that the shop uses the available calculations and present all of the options that the seller has. The last option I can think of is to possibly hard code prices in so that if particular settings are true that the price comes out as desired.
