Dynamic Price Updater

[rpersonal2]

Along the lines of the price updater, does anyone have an idea how to change the price based on market conditions? For example, let's say that I want to sell gold jewelry at $100 based on the gold spot price of $50. If the spot price increases to $55 then I want the price to automatically adjust by $5.

Any thoughts?

thx,

Hi all

I've made a minor tweak to the JS in jscript_ajax_updater.php... The new version is in my sig and all you need replace is includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php

If someone could test this out for me I'd be very grateful and I'd like to thank those that have already helped and continue to... Unfortunately I can't test this currently because I suspect something has gone horribly wrong with my test site and Slimbox isn't working

This is the first attempt at the fix... If this doesn't work I'm going to completely rewrite the script in a different fashion

If that doesn't work I plan to break down and cry... Then carry on working on it

Cheers!

Hello Dan,

Thanks for the new version, and sorry for the delay. I tried it on the following page, and it seems to be the same. Though I have a heavily modded site, I think that is the cause.

Hi Heathen

Thanks for testing so quickly... I've visited the link but I can't actually see the Updater JS in there... Have you removed it from that page?

Cheers

Hi Dan,

I have it uploaded there. I think it has something to do with a mod I had done, and it is not loading scripts from that folder. Sorry for the trouble, I completely forgot. I will ask them and see if I can get it fixed on my end.

Regards,

James

Hi James

No worries but you did have me concerned until I did some research ... I was toying with the idea of a conflict with XHR objects, though they should be autonomous

Let me know when you manage to get the script loaded and whether it works... If it doesn't I'll take it into account

Thanks for testing anyway

Hi all

Just a minor thing but I thought I'd let you all know that the link in my sig now takes you to a page where you can download the Updater (both versions)... I've set this up so I can track the amount of downloads each version gets

There is a bit of an issue currently in that I've done something weird with the file download headers... If anyone can spot the stupid mistake that's completely evading me please give me a shout

The files will download properly but for some reason IE is giving a security warning (you can safely allow the action, the file is just a Zip)... If you are unable to download the file please let me know and I'll provide a direct link

Cheers

Dan
