DUAL Pricing v2

[Template Cascade]

please correct me if I am mistaken, if I copy those files to my admin, they will replace the existing folders with the same names, and for example, everything under the existing adim folder (which is a lot of information) will be erased? When I ope the dual pricing I have an admin folder and includes, then 4 readme files... am I looking at the right thing? Where exactly do these folders go? Do I rename them so they don't erase the like-named folders?

You are looking in the right place... The files in the admin and includes folders are files that are included in the core code of Zen Cart 1.3.8a. You need to update the files in ZC with these new files (you want the files to be overwritten but not the entire directory, there are many other much needed files in these directories). If you have not installed any other modules before this one you can safely over write the files directly.

There is one folder you will need to change the name on. It is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPlATE/ you need to change the "your_template" to the name of your template.

All this is included in the readme.txt files. I'd read those very carefully.

Ok, tell me if I am understanding you, because the readme file I have is very vague, it says copy the files and then go to admin in zencart... so for example, would I go to the admin folder in the dual pricing folder, and copy the 3 php files (attributes_controller, customers and easypopulate) only and then go to the admin folder of my zencart and just paste them in the main admin folder with all the rest of the existing php files. Then do the same for each folder, copy the php files from each folder and paste them to the corresponding folder in my zencart folder??

Or, do i copy the entire admin folder and paste it in place of the existing admin folder inside my zencart folder?? And the same for the includes folder??

I'm sorry but I have never done ANY of this stuff before, so it's a guessing game for me right now. Thank you for all your help.

yes, don't forget about the templating system in the templates directory.

No

OK, here's what I did, and it seemed to work, so hope I didn't forget or mess up anything... I copied the admin folder from dual pricing and pasted it in place of the admin forlder in zencart, having it only add the new files and it kept all the old info too, same with the includes folder, it copied all the new stuff for me but left all the old stuff... now im uploading it... we'll see i guess...
But what did you mean by the templating?

theres a section for creating your on custom code this is where this stuff goes.
you may need to read the section on templateing to get a understanding of the this as its a little harder to just spout it out i will see if i can find that info for you but its somewhere under the faq section.

i am using the night_fall template that i modified a little to make it fit our store better... all my folder are name OurTemplate (I know, generic, but easy!) so there was something I was supposed to do to all of these folders... i followed the overide chart and set up all the custom folders, but was some of the pricing stuff supposed to go in there??? aaauuuggghhh I am so confused... i am still waiting for the upload... their server here at work slows the connection, it's crazy!

i think the only section you have to look at is in the includes, templates, template_default, templates. the two files in this directory would be copied to your custom template, but really only if you are going to do a lot of upgrading to a new version.

But being that the next version (2) most mods will not work and would have to be re-written as its a totally different beast (or i say the code is).

ok, the box in the edit customer is showing up and the wholesale price box is showing up in the product area... I am working on some re-wording, so i think for now all I'm still confused about is this part of the readMe:

To set the wholesale price go to the product and change the wholesale price to be a dash separated list eg.

50.00-30.00-0.00-25.00

you can see that you will have 4 levels of wholesale price available the 3rd level is 0 so customers set to level 3 will get the level 1 price.
In the attributes, you need to use comma separation eg

50.00,30.00,0.00,25,00


Attributes can be set in the same way.

I don't have attributes, but at times i will need up to 4 levels of pricing, how do I do that?

Hi,
I've installed DP on a heavily modified cart using 1.3.8a. It works exactly as required, except for when adding a special price to a product. For example:

Retail: 18.95
Wholesale: 10.95
Special: 14.95

When the above special is applied, the Wholesale price changes to reflect the new specials price. Wholesale: 14.95. You save -XX%

I've trawled this forum, and found a link for a specials addon, but the link is no longer valid. Does anyone have a copy of the addon or a new link to it? Or does anyone have an idea on how I can fix the above issue.

Cheers!
