Dynamic Price Updater

[Chrome]

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

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

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!

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!

Updated file for download at http://chrome.me.uk/PriceUpdater.zip

There are 2 files included (/includes/modules/pages/product_info/)... jscript_updater.php and jscript_updater_new.php

The _new file includes the radio/checkbox capabilities and is currently very much in test mode... Delete the file you do not want to use then upload the one you do want to use and that's all

If you have downloaded a previous version and have it in place I recommend renaming the original file (j_script_updater.php is a good choice) then uploading the new file... This means if any issues arise restoring the original configuration should be easy

For clarification, at this point there are 2 known issues: Doesn't work for items on sale; Doesn't identify multiple cart additions... These are in the pipeline

Any feedback or bug reports would be greatly appreciated
