Dynamic Price Updater

[jmacdoug]

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 )

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

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.

Having had a look around, I think I've found the answer to option #2

In the attributes controller, under Price and Weight, there are 2 INPUT fields that allow you to control the price... One of these boxes (the one on the left) contains a + symbol... deleting that on your attributes should, I think, have the desired effect

I've attached a little image to the post so you can see where I'm talking about

Hope that works... Let me know

Well, I think you have done it! Take a look at http://www.printsxpress.com/index.ph...&products_id=1

I turned OFF all of the + signs at appropriate attributes. However, I left a plus sign on the attribute for Sawtooth Hanger since I do want that to add on a cost of $4.00

Finally, I made 8"x10" attribute the "default" selection.

There we have it.

So far so good and I can't thank you enough.

I'll let you know if I come accross anything else like this. Is 1.3.8 coming soon? I hear it is basically bug fixes.

[Chrome]

I'm glad that worked ... it was an education for me as well

I don't know the release date of 1.3.8 I'm afraid... But I think you're right and it's mostly bugfixes

One of the bugs that is due to be fixed relates to attributes that use textareas (IIRC), which prompted me to hang fire with true code updates (it is the plan that the Updater will work with any and all attributes)

Let me know if you do have any more trouble... I know the Updater can be a bit quirky so I'll support it as best I can

I'm having problems getting this to work. I keep getting errors when selecting a radio button, it says "undefined(price)undefined(quanitity)" and the sidebox says chrome has broken something. I am running this on a xampp test server on my local computer so you can't see what's going on. I enabled debug and here's what it says:

This happens with both IE7 and the latest version of FireFox. It seems as if there is something funny going on with my local computer because I have a problem with the jscript in xsell advanced, too. When I loaded xsell advanced and price updater onto the live remote server the js works for both mods in both browsers.

Do you have any ideas as to why it doesn't work on my localhost? I have FF configured with javascript enabled, I couldn't see where to enable it in IE7.

Another thing about Price Updater, with radio buttons at least, when you select an attribute and it updates the price and then you change it to a different attribute it sometimes sticks and the price won't change. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I love the concept of this mod, it's super slick, so I hope that you will continue developing it. I am really impressed by your ability to create this and I hope that after a few years of self-taught nightschool I too will be able to code such innovative ideas.
