MSRP contrib

[kburner]

Okay, I got it installed and working thanks to the posters here. Now I want to be able to fill the MSRP field using Easy Populate. I set up a column in my .csv file that matches the database field name but no data shows up in ZC when I upload the file. I get no errors.
I can manually enter a price and then it shows up okay on the product info page. Here is the one that I entered manually.

As you can see it is working, I just don't want to have to add 5000+ the hard way.

I want to do the same thing. I just loaded 7,000 products with easy populate and dread going into each one for MSRP price. If you go to the easy populate thread I asked the same question.

Here is the answer I received.

I am unfamiliar with the Dual Pricing Mod. If this mod directly changes the products database, then you can easily change Easy Populate the handle this added field. I am unfortunately (or should that be fortunately?!) involved in a large print project and 2 full eCommerce projects, so I don't have time to do this for you

But, this is what you need to do. If the Mod had an SQL patch, take a look at it. Did it update the products database? If so, what fields did it add? Open up easypopulate.php, and search on v_products_price. At each line reference (doing a search), add your new field, say "v_products_price_w"

Also note that the new CSV version is not quite the same as the TAB delimited version.

Wish I had time to help more, but just too busy... But this is not hard to do. Just make sure you BACKUP your databases first!

I am not good at looking at code and trying to figure out. If you are --- help would be greatly appreciated. I do not know the code where to put it. If I am not mistaken...I am using the tab delimited version.

What file are you making these changes in?

The file is includes/functions/functions_prices.php,

However you may want to look at this thread first before making the change

What do I need to do to get Easy Populate CSV, uploading the MSRP.

This is what I ended up doing and it has worked flawlessly for me.

Editing easypopulate.php - Everywhere that I found a line with "v_products_price" in it I made a duplicate of that line just below it changing "price" to "msrp".

In my SQL file I opened the "products" table and added a field called "products_msrp" just below "products_price" using the same parameters.

I modified the CSS a bit and ended up with what you can see on my site now. I am very happy with the mod.

Kudos to all who gave tips for this and a BUNCH of other stuff that I could not have done without help from the folks who hang out here.

I did as you said although I didn't duplicate every single "product_price" line as it appears some of them relate to specials and perhaps other things? I did duplicate the ones that seem to relate to froogle although this may result in a bug when using the froogle feature? I have successfully downloaded and uploaded a msrp value using Easy Populate CSV. If anyone would like to see the file in question easypopulate.php please PM me and I'll email it to you.

I still can't get this to work. I tried adding greater than or less than into it, but nothing changed. It still shows all the MSRP even if my price is higher. Where should I be changing this at?

Ok. I just solved the problem where the MSRP is equal to or LESS THAN the normal price. You can apply the change put forward by bigsy85 (see page 7 of the thread). And make one extra change.

Find this:

if ($display_normal_price == $display_msrp_price){

Replace with this:

if ($display_normal_price >= $display_msrp_price){

That will do it.

Alternatively you replace the entire routine with mine, although it is different to the one by bigsy85, I have a different strikethrough and just the percentage saving:

if ($display_normal_price == 0) {
// don't show the $0.00
if(($display_msrp_price!='')&&($display_msrp_price!='0')){
if ($display_normal_price = $display_msrp_price){
$final_display_price = $show_normal_price . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
}
else
{
$save=$display_msrp_price-$display_normal_price;
$final_display_price = '<span class="smalltext1">'.TEXT_PRODUCT_MSRP. '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($display_msrp_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_check->fields['products_tax_class_id'])).'</s></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="save">'.TEXT_PRODUCT_SAVE . number_format((($display_msrp_price - $display_normal_price) / $display_msrp_price), 2, '.', '') * 100 . '% '.'</span><br><span class="norm">'.TEXT_PRODUCT_OUR.$show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount.'</span>' ;
}}else{
$final_display_price = $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
}
} else {
if(($display_msrp_price!='')&&($display_msrp_price!='0')){
if ($display_normal_price >= $display_msrp_price){
$final_display_price = $show_normal_price . $show_special_price . $show_sale_price . $show_sale_discount;
}
else{
$save=$display_msrp_price-$display_normal_price;
$final_display_price = '<span class="smalltext1">'.TEXT_PRODUCT_MSRP. '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($display_msrp_price, zen_get_tax_rate($product_check->fields['products_tax_class_id'])).'</s></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="save">'.TEXT_PRODUCT_SAVE . number_format((($display_msrp_price - $display_normal_price) / $display_msrp_price), 2, '.', '') * 100 .
