Lucky for you Dan I am very limited these days on my time on the forum due to my mom's health ... but I will get around to breaking ... er ... testing this when I can ...

I hope your Mum will be ok, Ajeh
I have added what could possibly be a totally pointless addition to the Updater... For this reason I've made it switch off and on-able
When a user selects an attribute a sidebox is created that displays information of all selected attributes including their prices and a total... The sidebox can be placed anywhere in either the left or right column or switched off entirely... At the moment this is purely proof of concept and lives only on my test site... Once I've had a chance to test more thoroughly I'll include it in the downloadable file... Even if it's never used it can still stay there
To see a working version please visit http://www.studio5.uk.com/index.php?...&products_id=3
When you select an attribute the Price Updater sidebox will apear (in theory ) in the left column above Information... This has been tested in IE7, FF2 and Opera9... It also still works with products from the shopping cart
Installation will remain exactly as before: just upload the file
CSS declarations can be attached to the sidebox in the normal way (base ID is updaterSB)
Please test it if anyone has time and let me know any thoughts or problems
Oh, I haven't forgotten about the radio/check box awareness of Updater; I just haven't got any products that have those particular types of attribute yet... I may well set this up tonight and see if I can get it working

Visited, tested, working fine using attributes allowed for selection..To see a working version please visit http://www.studio5.uk.com/index.php?...roducts_ id=3
Tried several options...
Brilliant idea.. appearance of side box is an excellent addition..
Thanks for sharing..look forward to this new release.
Thanks Misty
Based on your response I've tidied up the code a bit and added to the readme included in the ZIP
The file, as ever, can be found at http://chrome.me.uk/PriceUpdater.zip
As stated installation is as easy as before
Please let me know any problems or thoughts
Dan
Thanks Dan..if/when you add radio/checkbox option, could you
announce in this thread please? No rush..any spare few minutes
you may get is fine...
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
Dan
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!
Dan

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!
