How to show individual attribute price in shopping cart?

[nipinuk]

I've been searching various forum threads for a solution but can't quite find the answer. I'm not a developer but very good with cutting and pasting code :)

I've managed to set up 4 attributes for a product. This can be seen at https://tinyurl.com/y3h63tsv

For a particular string of lights, the customer can select length of lights, power source, extension cable, 3-way splitter required.

I would like to show the itemised pricing for the attributes selected in the shopping cart, checkout and invoice if possible.

For example:
If the followed attributes were selected:
LENGTH REQUIRED - 10m
POWER - 1 x Plug
EXTENSION CABLE - 2 x 5m Cable
3-WAY SPLITTER - 1 x 3-way Splitter

The shopping cart just shows just the total of all I selected:
Professional Connectable Cold White String Lights on Black Cable £51.74
LENGTH REQUIRED - 10m
POWER - 1 x Plug
EXTENSION CABLE - 2 x 5m Cable
3-WAY SPLITTER - 1 x 3-way Splitter

I would like the shopping cart/checkout and invoice to show:
Professional Connectable Cold White String Lights on Black Cable £51.74
LENGTH REQUIRED - 10m (£21.98)
POWER - 1 x Plug (£6.59)
EXTENSION CABLE - 2 x 5m Cable (£16.18)
3-WAY SPLITTER - 1 x 3-way Splitter (£6.99)

Is this straightforward to do? Any advice greatly appreciated!

This is something that would be addressed mostly from within the shopping_cart and/or orders class while processing/stepping through the attributes. As far as "easy" it can be, but I believe it may also depend on some other factors such as sales and other discounts.

The reason I say that is that in essence may need to expand on the price keeping arrays so that more granularity can be obtained on each attribute.

Note that also by retaining each such sub-price that if/when taxes come into play and are expected to also be disayed that the accounting might not work out properly. Eg. The tax on each item (rounded to the currency used) where the tax is then added together may not equal the tax on the total of all items.

sounds like a good tweak for your dynamic price updater

Borderline... Not what I would call "dynamic" per se unless now the contents of the shopping cart page should be dynamically updated with product quantity added.
