Dynamic Price Updater

[Chrome]

Did a lot of work on this last night... While configuring for radio/checkboxes I enountered loads of issues, which I hope are now fixed... Here's a list of changes:

Updater can now identify all (I think) attribute types

As well as being able to add attribute values, Updater can now subtract negative values and alter the base price (if product is priced by attributes)

Subtracted values are shown in red in the sidebox

There is at least one issue that I know of and that is items in a sale don't work (yet)... This is because the updater can't 'read' the price from the header... I'll fix this soon (I hope)

Could I please ask for some testing on this? I've tried as many options as I can but there's no substitute for external input ... I've put up a test shop at http://chrome.me.uk/shopdev/ for the new features (didn't want to risk anything on a live shop)

If there don't appear to be any issues with this current version I will add the feature that links to the Quantity box and release a tentative full version

Thanks all

It seems to work here.

The radio buttons, and drop down list both dynamically update the price.

However, it does not appear to work here:

Aha... Now you have found the Achilles heel of the Updater... It currently can't read from pages that have a discount on them... In these circumstances the Updater won't load (it will gracefully exit)

This is something I'll (hopefully) get working over the next day or 2

Thanks for the feedback!

I tested it quite a bit on the demo site, and that seemed to be the only snag. I installed an earlier version of this, and I look forward to the updated version.

Thank you for the work!

Updated file for download at http://chrome.me.uk/PriceUpdater.zip

There are 2 files included (/includes/modules/pages/product_info/)... jscript_updater.php and jscript_updater_new.php

The _new file includes the radio/checkbox capabilities and is currently very much in test mode... Delete the file you do not want to use then upload the one you do want to use and that's all

If you have downloaded a previous version and have it in place I recommend renaming the original file (j_script_updater.php is a good choice) then uploading the new file... This means if any issues arise restoring the original configuration should be easy

For clarification, at this point there are 2 known issues: Doesn't work for items on sale; Doesn't identify multiple cart additions... These are in the pipeline

Any feedback or bug reports would be greatly appreciated

I've posted (yet another) update for this mod (http://chrome.me.uk/PriceUpdater.zip) which can be seen working at http://chrome.me.uk/shopdev/

Hopefully I've fixed a few problems (most likely created a few more)... The Updater can now work with [some] sales and is quantity-aware

Prices will take into account the quantity the user has specified and adjust themselves accordingly... The quantities can be displayed in the main price header and the sidebox (these can be switched on or off independently)... Read the included readme for more information or post here if what I've written doesn't make sense

The Updater should now be aware of all radio/checkboxes

Also I've updated so that, hopefully, the currency shouldn't be an issue

Yet again, all feedback and bug reports are very much appreciated and I thank you all for your patience

Not keen on Priced by Attribute ...

The Gift Certificates with attributes is a good example ...

Can anyone tell me how to make the price red?

Hi Dan

Fab addon :) Well done

If you are still taking queries I seem to have hit the "status returned - not found" errors that have been reported before - however I cannot see the solution to this

I am using 1.3.9h
Yes I have CEON SEO module installed (as mentioned this might be the conflict?)

I tried this change

// if (_this.XHR.status == 200) {
if (_this.XHR.status == 200 || _this.XHR.status == 503) {

but that didn't help (in javascript_ajax_updater.php)

I also couldn't find yoru JS only version - I only could see the demo one that was still in test or DPV2 - which is older than the version uploaded?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thank you
Sarah

Dan it works great now. There is just one problem. I'm getting a lot of error myDEBUG in my cache folder. This is what it says.




I have no idea what the errors are.

Hi countrycharm

I know what the errors are but I'm working on how to solve them

They should be innocuous, but I will get them sorted

Thanks!

Dan

Dan I hope you are feeling better these days. Have you figured out these errors yet. Thank You in advance.
