Hi Dan,

Thanks for the mod exactly what i wanted for a redesign of my current site which is under way at the moment. I am having some trouble getting the mod working properly though

I have copied all the files over to the server and placed a div around the product price block with an id="productPrices" however whenever i go to a product on the site i get a popup window "Status returned - Service Unavailable" and the price does not update. The loading symbol is displayed next to the price and stays there after i exit the popup window. When a different option is selected or the quantity changed the same window appears but the price remains the same with the loading image still to its right.

I do have the image Slimbox on the site but disabling this does not change things..

Have tried uninstalling DPU 2 and installing the original but it wasn't quite working properly either and the newer version is more what i'm after for it.

If you had a minute or two to take a quick look at the site it would be appreciated. If you do have time PM me your IP address as i will have to add you to the allowed list on the website maintenance setup and send you the link.


Thanks for your time!



Liam.

All sorted now with a big thanks to Dan

Less than 10 mins after posting here Dan PM'd me and helped out to get it sorted in only a few replies


It turns out that the site was getting a 503 error and thus opening a new window with the error message.

If anyone else encounters the same problem they can give this a try;

Find this line in includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php:

if (_this.XHR.status == 200) {

It should be line 98... replace it with:

if (_this.XHR.status == 200 || _this.XHR.status == 503) {

So thanks to Dan for the above fix/work around the updater is working perfectly on the site and is working alongside the Lightbox addon
If anyone has a problem with their installation/implementation post it up here and i'm sure he will help out.

FANTASTIC Mod! Easy to install! Very good!

One minor issue. If I have an attribute with a One Time price add, the box works correctly, the price is correct, but it displays 2 x 0.00 for the attribute when it should be 1 x 0.00.

I'm decent enough with PHP, so any ideas on how to quickly fix it?

Hi

Is there a specific product that is showing this error? All the products I've viewed seem to behave themselves

If you need to, check out dpu_ajax.php in the site root for some display options

Check the 20"x24" print.

• Price is $60.00.
  
• Add one of the services (for instance, Proofing). The price will change to reflect the cost of the service. For instance, if I add the Proofing option, the the price changes to $70.00, but the Price Breakdown shows "Base Price x 1 ($70.00)" and "Proofing x 0 ($0.00)", where it should show "Base Price x 1 ($60.00)" and "Proofing x 1 ($10.00)".
• If I change the quantity to (2), the math is correct, but I get: "Base Price x 2 ($130.00)" and "Proofing x 2 ($0.00)" where it should show "Base Price x 2 ($60.00)" and "Proofing x 1 ($10.00)"(proofing is a 1 time charge)

Hi ,
I have installed this price updater module in my site and it works fine.
But i need few tweeks in that module to fit my requirement .
I am not sure how to do it .
Pleas guide me.

EXample product -" dining set" .
-> I like to add attribute as text box -EX: chair quantity (done).
-> Added price for that text attribute -EX:$100. (done ).
-> Now In my case dining set chair is variant -depends on people choice .
->So now
I need to multiple the price for the text attribute with its value .
EX: 4 (value entered by customer in text attribute box),then $100 x 4= $400 will be the price for this attribute .

Please advice me how to do this?
->Can i pass a extra variable to your ajax file and return the value to the product as i expected .
->How to pass this price to the cart page?
because i need to this calculation before add to cart right ?
Add to cart page didn't accept the price from the product info page right?

Please advice me .
Atleast point to the right file.
