Dynamic Price Updater

[perkiekat]

Lightbox is great, I love it...but I think many others have had problems with lightbox and DPU - like me.

Yeah, me too I know. Works great together in IE but the mootool Slimbox and DPU has conflicts working together in Firefox. Before I install the actual Lightbox, I'm waiting to read more...Chrome will get it working to be compatable!!

I can confirm that in FF3 and IE8 that there are no conflicts between DPU or DPU2 and the zen lightbox mod that uses prototype and scriptaculous. I'd like to know if anyone has tried this with the jQuery lightbox? I am going to be switching to that soon and hope there are no confilcts!

Hi all

I'm going to write a version I hope will have no conflicts... In the v2 as it is I've used a prototype object and I think it conflicts in certain circumstances

Over the next couple of days I'm going to refactor the JS and see if I can introduce some greater compatibility... In fact, didn't the original Updater have some issues with Lightbox?

Anyway, I hope to have a new release for Friday evening

Cheers

I'll be waiting!

I'll be glad to test it out!!

Yes, it did, there was a fix posted, I think it was changing one of the regular expressions.

Thanks, Mate!

[Chrome]

Ah yes, I remember... It was either a regular expression or a variable type comparison

This version doesn't use any regexes for finding the attributes: it collects them directly from the form... The issue here is a little odd in that an array is created but is never populated (a console log after populating the array reveals it to be zero-length)... I do have a theory as to why this might happen so I'm going to try some things tomorrow

I hope this works!

Yeah, I did notice those fixes though the file is different in the new version so I didnt even try it.

We get the same problem with DPU on all browsers so its not browser specific for us.

Im so excited to see if the new update will work for us, meger donation will be on your way if we use your mod.

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.
