Hi all,

I am a pretty new Zenner, neither really familiar with php coding nor a native English - so please appologize my confuse writing. I have successfully installed your contribution DPUv2_MTC and it works extraordinarily well for Zencart 1.38a and 1.39g (english and german versions tested). Albeit there is a slight deviation from the correct price calculated, as posted earlier - when TAX is shown in the store and admin area. You can certainly circumvent this problem by applying the mod described within this thread: twice ' limit 1' to ' limit 0' in the dynamic_price_updater.php.

Now I am trying to get another mod running within my site - product attribute grid. This will enable to select another option type: grid, which places quantity boxes for each attribute. Hence, somebody can simultaneously select products offered in eg. different colors. This mod is very crucial for me, but fails to be compatible with the DPUv2_MTC. I suppose, the DPU uses the ordinary quantity field to calculate its prices - can somebody suggest a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your time and effort,
sincerely Stevie

Dan,
This whs exactly what I was looking for, great job!
One question though, how can I style the second price, and where?
I'd like it to show the same font size as the first price.
I see in jscript_ajax_updater.php that one can style it:
"// adjust the second price display; create the div if necessary"
But where do I put the div?
I'm just puzzled as to where to put it.
Styling using css is fine, it's just where to put the div class/div span?
I tried a few places, but then the price disappeared altogether.

Thanks in advance.

And thanks for a great addon.

Cheers

Hi Endre

There should be no need to go digging that deep into the code. The second price display can be styled via CSS by targeting the ID 'productPricesSecond' or if you want it to appear elsewhere on the page then you need to find this line in the code:

var _secondPrice = 'cartAdd';

The 'cartAdd' portion of that code tells the Updater where to place teh second price; it's the ID of the element you would like the Updater to appear before. In this instance the second price is set to appear before the Add to cart button. You can choose any element on your page that has ID for a reference point. I recommend Firebug for Firefox (use the inspect element feature) to find the point in your page you would like the second price to appear

Hope this helps

Dan

Hullo!

I love me some dynamic price updating, I've been using it for a few months now, and I have never seen any issues with it on the front end. However, something must be amiss, because I'm getting these errors in my error log:

[17-Nov-2010 14:40:16] PHP Warning: reset() [<a href='function.reset'>function.reset</a>]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /****/rainestudios.net/includes/classes/dynamic_price_updater.php on line 194
[17-Nov-2010 14:40:16] PHP Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /****/rainestudios.net/includes/classes/dynamic_price_updater.php on line 195


Any idea what's going on here?

My site is http://rainestudios.net

Here's a few items that uses a lot of dual pricing (so you don't have to hunting around):

Thank you so much -- love this add on!

ps -- any known conflicts with dual pricing? I'm going to get some wholesale pricing up soon.

Hi Guys

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a

I have the Vat Module Installed that is available from the Addons and Contributed Modules


This was working perfectly until i added the DPU V2 module.
(i am not complaining mind you....lol)

If you look at the link of my site below, you will see that DPU module works, but has removed the INC vat price that briefly appears. Apart from this it works perfectly.

Is a part of the problem also because there is now a 2nd price statement that appears lower in the page and seems to replace the VAT inc price and then drops lower down the page??.

I did have a problem with it working correctly on a MAC and just a ? instead of a £ on a PC in windows which a friend managed to solve by hard coding the £ sign into one of your files.

Please can anyone help me get my VAT INC price back as i am stuck and a total newbie at all this.



Cheers Rob

The Vat Module is this one by the way.....

I'm still wondering about these error messages I'm getting -- and now I've hit upon a new snag. I've searched through the thread and may have missed the answer, but I am running a sale and my sale prices show up on category listings, but once DPU kicks on on the product page, the sale price is lost. If you add the product to the cart, the full price is used and not the sale price.

Can anyone help?
