My Add-On for MAP (minimum advertised price).

bgroup99:

Is that legal? Is a price with a strike through through it "unadvertised"?

$400 (with a line through)
(Priced so low, we're not able to show it. Add to cart for price.)

That is legal because the selling price is not shown... only the suggested retail price is shown.

Thanks

I currently have this MAP price dilemma as well. How do manufacturer's really feel about only showing the price in the cart? I mean can't it technically be seen as advertising cause its one click away? I currently have this dilemma and the difference is we are currently under the watchful eye of our manufacturer. Anyways, any advice would be appreciated.

When you ask your manufacturer about this what do they say? I'm thinking this is where your wanted 'advice' should come from ;-)

Hello Acappie,

I just installed map module on Zen 1.3.6. I am also getting a fatal error. Can you tell me what you did to fix?

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_update_products_price_sorter() (previously declared in Zencart/admin/includes/functions/general.php:2502) in Zencart/admin/includes/functions/functions_prices.php on line 1321

Thank You

Please help. I'm a new zenner and just loaded the zen 1.3.6 map price module. I'm getting the following fatal error when trying to log into admin.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_update_products_price_sorter() (previously declared in Zencart/admin/includes/functions/general.php:2502) in Zencart/admin/includes/functions/functions_prices.php on line 1321

Any help greatly appreicated.

Thanks
Kent

the error message you mention suggests that zen_update_products_price_sorter() is declared inside your functions/general.php file ... but, in v1.3.6, that should not be happening, since it only exists in functions_prices.php

Thus, you have some "other" mod installed, or have made some other sort of customization to your site to cause the problem you mention. Either that or you have missed something during a site-upgrade at one point.

Clean up your functions/general.php and this error should go away.

Thanks for the help DrByte.....I commented out the functions in the general.php and that fixed the problem. I really appreciate your help on this.

Happy Holidays

I developed a MAP Pricing addon myself. Version 1.0 is located here: http://www.slickricky.com/designers_central/2006/06/map-pricing-for-zen-cart.php

I'll be uploading version 1.2 in the near future. You can contact me through my website, if you don't find it. www.slickricky.com

I uploaded v1.2, which now allows you the option of either displaying the higher price like this "$99.00 but add to cart for an even lower price." or simply "Priced so low, it can't be advertised." if you don't specify a display price.

You can edit that text by the way to whatever you'd like in the language file.

It has been updated so that it now appears in the "Pricing Tools" category on their website: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_61&products_id=158

i have this same issue. i've recently posted a question (before i found the MAP module) about implementing the solution in another way.

on other sites, i've seen an 'email for pricing' button (easy enough to address using the call for pricing tag). but, in the email that is sent to the customer is a 'hidden link' to the product with the below MAP price. it is still completely functional within the cart system. but, is non-navigable and non-searchable from the front page. the only way in is via direct URL.

this would be nice as well.

I installed the latest version of Map Pricing on** **Zen Cart 1.3.7 and everything works great! Awesome tool! :D

I do have a question?

Is their a way to upload the** map enabled **and map pricing attributes via Easy Populate?

I have allot of products.

Anyone have a way for a java script box, like this one to pop up when the user wants to see the below MAP price of the item? I see on amazon that they use this.

It is a very cool way to display the price and offer the option to add to cart without leaving the page. Anyone have code available that can be modified to work like this with Zen Cart?

Hello,
I just installed the MAP 1.1 MOD and in the header I'm getting a long error msg.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is a wonderful addon. Works great in Firefox but when I try it in Internet Explorer, nothing happens when I click on "add to cart" - not a good way to increase my sales :wink:

Anyone else ever have this problem? I would love to use this addon, just need to fix this small problem.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

CANCEL that. It was not an issue with this addon at all. We had some issues with some hidden comment fields that I didn't realize until I starting testing our online store after installing this addon.

So, in fact, installing this addon helped me discover a hidden probably that was already present with our store.

Thanks again - great work!

Still Looking for an answer. Is there a way to upload our MAP Prices via Easy Populate? If So, Can someone explain what we need to do? This would greatly help. Thanks

Doug

Anybody working on easy populate. I need it to be able to upload my map prices to my products. If someone can make this work I would be willing to pay some for it. Thanks

I don't know if you are using the standard version or advance, but in advance add the fields you want added to easypopulate_export.php. Below is an excert:

"case 'store':

$ep_file_types = array();

$result = ep_query('SELECT type_id, type_name FROM ' . TABLE_PRODUCT_TYPES);

for ($i = 0; $product_type_row = $result->getRow($i, ECLIPSE_DB_ASSOC); $i++)

{

$ep_file_types[$product_type_row['type_id']] = $product_type_row['type_name'];

}

$iii = 0;

$filelayout = array(

            'v_products_id'    => $iii++,

            'v_products_model'    => $iii++,

            'v_products_type'    => $iii++,

            'v_products_image'    => $iii++,

            'v_map_price' => $iii++,

            'v_products_upc' => $iii++ ,

            'v_product_isbn' => $iii++,
            'v_map_enabled' => $iii++,
            );

"

This is working for me.
