Seems lately I've had a run on clients who wish to sell printed invitations. Zen's a great tool for this as we have all these wonderful attributes. However,.... I am stumped

We are selling an invitation for 1.00
Ordering in groups of 12
1 time printing set up fee is 10.00 (think I can do this with a radio button and price yes at 10.00)
Printing per group of 12: (would I use a price offset in the attribute here and how can it be factored on quantity ordered?)
12=10.00
24=15.00
36=20.00
48=20.00 ...and so on
Would love to have text box text mandatory if select custom printing.
One could also order the card blank.
Here's a screen shot of what I've come up with so far, but I don't think its gonna work.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Cindy

ThanX again

Do you have an URL that we can peek at, uncle13?

Thanks! :)

montano, are you set to priced by attribute?

If not, have you tried the Product Price Manager and the Quantity Discounts?

Hi, I did select price by attributes, but if I sell in groups of 12, I don't want there to be a number in the box above add to cart. Then I get an error saying I added the wrong amount and there's a minimum of 12. I guess I don't even want there to be a minimum of 1 because the selection is made in the drop down. Does that make sense. They can purchase 12-24, 24-36, 36-48 and so on. That selection is made in the first drop down box. What happens next is the following attribute (retrun address printed) is not calculated properly because it doesn't really know how many are being purchased.

I am hoping there is just something stupid I've done or an easy fix. I just am stumped and can't figure it out. Also wondering if you can make any of the attributed dependant on the one right before it. See, if they select blank invitations I don't want the text box mandatory, but if they select printed, then they must fill out the text box.

Argh, brain is swimming just thinking about it.

Do you have an URL we can peek at?

Not sure when I can peek but maybe someone will have some time and seeing the actual data does help vs a screen shot ... :)

THANX AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP,,JEFF

Look at this product via phpMyAdmin ...

Check and see what its master_categories_id is set to and make sure it matches the categories_id that you put on sale.

::frust
I'M SORRY I DON'T UNDERSTAND,,NONE OF THESE ARE LINKED PRODUCTS,,COULD THAY STILL HAVE THE WRONG ID'S
AND I GESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO CHECK THESE ID'S,,OR WHERE,,AND IN SALEMAKER I DON'T SEE ANY ID NUMBERS,,PLEASE STEP BY STEP,,I'M LOST :huh: LOL

All products have a master_categories_id

The master_categories_id is a field in the products table of your database.

This is managed by the Admin for you.

However, if you import products this most likely is not being done properly.

You want to look at the categories_id that the product is in.

You can check this by navigating to the product via the Catalog ... Categories/Products ...

You will see in the URL the cPath=

Now if you look at the product in the products table via phpMyAdmin ... you should see a master_categories_id

That value matches one of the categories on your site.

Looking at that value you can look at your Catalog and find the Catalog it matches to. This should be the one you put on sale in Sale Maker.

If you have the master_categories_id for the product matching the categories_id that you put on sale in Sale Maker then you should see the discount.

If you do not see the discount, either something is wrong with your template or you have a damaged relationship of the master_categories_id and categories_id or you have an old version of Zen Cart or something resulting in this problem.

Ajeh:

As to options being related or dependant to one another that is not a feature of Zen Cart at this time.
You could add two-fold option values though.

Instead of adding Mazda 626 as your option name
and
2-door and 4-door as your option values

Add 2 option names:
Mazda 626 2-door
and
Mazda 626 4-door

Then you can add the appropriate color options to the appropriate vehicles.

Just a thought. I am complete newbie to Zen, but that seems like it should work.

Best,
Audra

Hi all
Can I do this:

Product - description - price= pack of 50 = £5.00
pack of 100 = £10.00
pack of 200 = £20.00

Is this possible to set up in attributes?

Andy

If your product is sold as a 50pak then 1=50 there is no need for attributes are there?

What I want to do is have a drop down box or radio button for a product, the product is sold as a 50 pack or a 100 pack with a price for each one, so on the dropdown box choice one says -pack of 50 £10-, choice 2 says -pack of 100 £20-.

hope this explains better
is there a readme to do this?

Andy

Since the Option Values are the exact size of the order then just add the price normally.

Option Name: Size Radio Button

Option Values:

50 pak sort order 10 price 5 default
100 pak sort order 20 price 10
etc.

You do not need to use the Attribute Discount Quantity as you have already qualified the quantity and price on the Option Value ...

Marked as Priced by Attribute will make the price display as 5.00 as this is the lowest price.

I would probably make 2 products 8" and 10" candles ...

Then set the colors as attributes ...

Or, you can make 2 Option Names: Size and Color

This depends on what works best for you ... I'd use 2 products distinguished by size

Hi,

How do I permanently turn off both "mixed off" and "mixed on" on the product listing page? They appear underneath the "add to cart" button.

Right now the only way to get around that is set yes/no for Product Qty Min/Unit Mix: under Categories/Product in Admin.

Thanks
Eddie
