Dynamic Price Updater

[GoldBuckle]

I am working with the Dynamic Price Updater. I have been using this for a while and love it! I want to make a slight modification, by which I want the price breakdown to display inside the cartAdd or Add to Cart box so that customer see's the price displayed when entering their quantity or clicking the Add to Cart button...can anyone give me some help on this one?

Thanks!

Hi

CybaGurl, $300 shouldn't be an issue... By large price I was thinking more around the $10,000 mark... It might be an idea to create a product around that price to test then delete it

It's very strange that you should have had the 'Status returned' error in V1 as that part of the script was never present in V1; V1 used the client machine to 'read' the page and manipulate the values it found whereas V2 picks up the user choices and sends the data to a server-side routine to take care of the heavy lifting... V2 is much more accurate because it uses the native code in a virtual cart environment... When you get a 'not found' status it means the Ajax request failed as the server returned a 404 error (file not found) when requesting the calculation, which is why for that particular error it's easier to see the site in action

GoldBuckle, if you open up /includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php and edit line 15 like this:

define('DPU_SIDEBOX_ELEMENT_ID', 'whatsnew');

to

define('DPU_SIDEBOX_ELEMENT_ID', 'cartAdd');

That will force the sidebox to render just above the quantity box... There are 2 caveats here:

1. This is entirely and completely untested and could cause some entertaining issues (nothing permanent, just reverse the change)

2. This will cause a complete sidebox to be placed in the cart div... The sidebox that is generated can be manipulated by standard CSS, however

Hi littlekid440

I've never considered that the top price would need to remain static as it's the first display I got to change... I think you might be able to change the CSS ID of the top price div and fool the Updater, although this may cause it to stop working... Give it a try and let me know what happens (or ask again if you're not sure how to do this)

The quantity is easier as I'd considered that not everyone would want it displayed... Open /dpu_ajax.php and alter line 7 from:

define('DPU_SHOW_QUANTITY', true);

to

define('DPU_SHOW_QUANTITY', false);

And that should kill the quantity display... Let me know how you get on

Hi there.

Is anyone experiencing issue with Dynamic Converter (Free account) today? It was working fine til yesterday (Thank you! I love Dynamic Converter!) but some how it does not work any more.

I have visited the dynamic converter website and I see their examples are not working either at the moment...

I was just wondering if anyone else there experiencing same problem? I have also checked featured client page but their site is working (I assume they are on Gold / Enterprise plan)....

So is this mean free version is no longer available???

I would appreciate if anyone know further info.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Sorry everyone. I have posted on wrong forum / thread. My apologies.

i tried as you suggested
I renamed the top div to something different - script stopped working
I tried deleting "productPrices" from (/includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php) - script stopped working
im not really a PHP expert as i can only edit some part of the code not write my own so I don't know how to fix this

the top div already has a different ID "productPrices" and the bottom is "productPricesSecond"
im sure one of you expert PHP-ers will solve this in matter of minutes

until then thank you for the quantity hide code - worked as described

[littlekid440]

also I wanted to make sure the developers and all users know that this does not work if your website is down for maintenance
So if anyone here can't figure out why its not working.. make sure its not set under maintenance

Hi

I thought changing the ID of the div would cause it to stop working... Changing anything in the ajax file other than the config settings is likely to cause the script to fail... In fact, incorrect config settings will cause the same issue

Altering the Updater to ignore the main price isn't going to be easy as that's what it was designed to do; everything else should be considered additions... This can be done but it'd be a custom fix for you... I can fix this for you if you'd care to PM me

Incidentally, the fix will be all Javascript; at this point no PHP is in use

Hi

Never tested the Updater with the site DFM; Thanks for the info... Never know when it might come in handy
