Attribute Costs

I've been customizing Zen Cart with overrides and not having much trouble finding things, but I can't seem to find this one.

I want to change the Attributes display so instead of showing:

Option 1
Option 2 (+$10)
etc.

it shows the total cost for each option, for example if the item were $100 with the base Option 1:

Option 1 ($100)
Option 2 ($110)
etc.

What file do I need to override?

That is set from the Admin- Change your product to priced by attributes and make the price of the item $0 and change your attribs to the "full" price.

Thanks!

I'm sure I've made a number of changes in the overrides stuff that could have been set in the admins page.

I just have more trouble finding it in the admin settings. :sleepy:

Hi Kim,

I am having the same problem here, and have tried to follow your advice but I am sure I am doing something very silly, as I am still getting +£2.99 next to the option instead of just £2.99, and want to get rid of the + sign.

In catalog>categories/products and in the product description I have left the price at 0, is that correct?

Here is a screenshot of my attribute settings, could you please tell me if I have I ticked the right boxes?

Thank you for your time.

If you exclude the price prefix then you won't see it ... :smile:

The + or blank is to Add ... and the - is to subtract on the price ...

Hi Linda

:cry: I think the UK heatwave has frazzled my brain..lol.. I went into attributes, clicked on edit, and removed the +sign out of the left hand box for the price, and saved it, but the + sig is still on the product page - is that what you meant when you said 'exclude the price prefix'

I am soo so sorry to take up so much of your time :blush: but it will be worth it when I get the site up and running, I am learning more daily, just some things stump me, then all of a sudden, its like a light has been turned on and I think..ahhh haaa thats how I do it..lol..

Thanks again, its very much appreciated.

Check the Attributes Controller again ...

It can only display what you tell it to ...

If there is a + it displays it ... if there isn't a + then it cannot display it ...

Did you perhaps clean up a different product than the one you are looking at on your site?

Hi Linda

hmmm I am not sure, I dont think so, but I will go and double check everything now :thumbsup:

Thanks
Kind Regards

Linda your a star :thumbsup:

It must have taken a while to upload, because I have just refreshed the page a few times and it has gone.. Yippeee, I am feeling a lot more positive now :lol:

Thanks again

Had me wondering there ... I know those silly ol' Attributes are pretty amazing creatures ... but when they start to re-write themselves it does begin to scare me ... :eek:

Thanks for checking and getting back to us that it was most likely a cache monster after you ... or ... you know ... user ... er ... umm ... well ... at least it works now ... :smile:

I am glad it was a cache monster - I dont like the sound of attributes re writing themselves :shocking:

Have a good weekend :thumbsup:

If you want to have most or all of your product prices displayed this way, you can change the default attribute price marker from "+" to blank, in Catalog > Product Types > Edit Layout for the desired type.
Saves a lot of clicks from removing the + every time! :smile:

Thank you gjh42 for that vital bit of info :thumbsup:

Wow you have just made my life a whole heap easier

Thanks again for the tip
Kind Regards
