DUAL Pricing v2

Hello,
I have downloaded and read the read me file for the Dual pricing addon. I downloaded the one for 1.5.5 (dual pricing 2.1.7 according to the folder title.) when I read the info it says it will only work on 1.5.5a or 1.5.5b?
I added it anyway to check it is not a mistake in the document and no it doesnt work.

Is there no 1.5.5f for this addon?

If not, can someone advise me of a wholesale pricing addon which also hides the wholesale prcing unless you are on that pricing level?

Thank you
Amy

An updated version was submitted recently. It will be posted in the Plugins section soon. Until then, you can download it from here:

Thanks for the quick response mate, much appreciated. I gather from your response it would be almost like a rebuild and I definitely do not have the skills for that.

I installed this plugin on 1.5.5f and all is fine - Question though regarding this;

Can I add wholesale pricing to my Easy Populate spreadsheet?

NOTE: if you'd like to add your wholesale prices to Easy Populate, add the following line to
admin\includes\languages\english.php

define('EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FIELDS', 'products_price_w'); //Easy Populate

> 
> Where in that file do I place the code, or doesn't it matter? I placed it at the very bottom of the file, below // include additional files:
> 
> I then ran an export but there was no column for wholesale prices - I hadn't entered any in any products via admin, the idea was to use easypopulate4 to do that - do I have to enter a wholesale price on at least one product for it to trigger the call to produce the wholesale price column? ... or is it likely that something else is wrong, e.g. faulty installation or compatibility with 1.5.5f ?

If you don't have this sorted we have completed a site running ZC 1.55f - Easy Populate 4 with wholesale installed along with other fields for input/export I would be happy to help out!

Awesome, will give that a go now.

Thank you

I have a version ready for testing on Zen Cart 1.5.6. If you are interested in testing it, PM me.

Hi. I ran into some trouble with a 1.5.5f site that is using the 2.1.8 Dual Pricing module. When "Price by attributes" is checked on a product, and therefore the Net and Wholesale price fields on the product entry page are left empty and instead regular and wholesale prices are entered via the Attributes Controller - and a customer who has been given the Dual Pricing status of a permitted Wholesale customer logs in and shops, they only see the retail price for the attribute options. I tested this on a brand new, clean 1.5.5f install today - on Classic, Responsive and Bootstrap templates (with careful merging) - and no wholesale prices show in any of the templates. The problem does not seem to be the template. The problem seems to be Priced by Attributes is not working with the Dual Pricing module.

In my testing, it does work but only once you add the item to your cart. The price on the product page is the retail price. Is this what you see too?

see attached image of Anne's test site and yes, the correct price is reflected in the shopping cart.

As Barco57 showed you, yes: the wholesale price does show up once the item is added to the cart. But, since the Dual Pricing module shows both the retail and wholesale prices when they are entered into the main price fields of the product - it should show both prices with the attributes - and it doesn't. Wholesale customers will assume that they will be charged the retail price and walk away. The wholesale price needs to show for wholesale customers - even when it is priced by attributes. I hope you agree!

I've noted the issue in GitHub and will attempt to fix it when I have the time.

Can you tell me how soon you might be getting to this, Jim? Wondering if I should launch my client's site "as-is" for now, and then upgrade his Dual Pricing later on, once you have a new version available.

It's not too high on my list. Paying clients come first.

I am running the most recent version of Zen and set up the Dual Pricing 2.1.8 plugin, however, I'm having difficulty in getting the MSRP displayed with the wholesale price. Dealers would like to see the MSRP displayed so they can calculate their own margins without having to log out to see the regular price, then back in again to order.

Anyway this version has a Readme file ( under 1.5.6 ), that states …..

"If you want your wholesale customers to see BOTH retail and wholesale pricing (instead of only Wholesale pricing), then uncomment line #71 in this file:
\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php"

However, I do not have a php editor that adds the line numbers ( just notepad ), and when I open the above php script, and did a manual count for that line, I could not find anything relevant to "uncomment" around that particular line ( manual count).

Would it be possible for someone to put up a copy of that line I need to uncomment so I can search for it, or point to a thread that has the answer?

Thank you in advance :)

This is the section and line you're looking for: http://prntscr.com/odqc80

Is this some sort of joke? If you don't have a file editor that shows line numbers, get one. Easy and free.
It takes a special sort of person to use notepad as a development tool.
Notepad++ would be good starting point. You also need winmerge.

Where are the update instructions? The instructions that come with this plugin, only give installation instructions and FAQ's do not address the upgrade/update issue.

I just upgraded my Zen cart from v1.5.1 to 1.5.6c and this module was originally installed as v2.1.1. I now see the never version is at version 2.2.8. Is there a database upgrade? I can overwrite files but don't know if it will work. Just wondering how to upgrade to the latest version, I am using this and do not want to mess it up.

I have not had the time to update this for 1.5.6c. There are no database changes. You'll only need to upload the files but that also means merging the changes to the core files into the 1.5.6c versions of those core files.

I know how to merge the core files in and overwrite new files. Now I feel more comfortable knowing there are no database changes. I appreciate the feedback and thank you for the instruction!

v1.5.5f your plugin version 2.1.8

Hi - I no longer need wholesale pricing - how best can I turn off the wholesale prices? - I am not seeing a configuration setting anywhere, nothing in admin/configuration or any other admin area. I tried running the uninstall sql but it made all products disappear in admin/catalogue/categories-products (fortunately running install.sql reinstated the products)

I need to disable this plugin as I suspect it is preventing Salemaker from working.

Looking forward to some assistance.

cheers,
Mike
