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

webskipper:

I do not. I am using the Map price contribution though. There must be a way to use MAP price as the default.

To change the product creation MAP field to always ON when you are adding a new product through the admin you can make a small change in the database, changing the MAP setting from 0 (off) to 1 (on). It is in the table products and the column to edit is map_enabled. Click the pencil icon in the map_enabled row and change the value from 0 to 1.

You can also change this for existing products by running this sql command in phpmyadmin or a similar database control program:

UPDATE TABLE products SET map_enabled=1;

This will change all products to map being on. If you only want some products to have map enabled you need to run this:

UPDATE TABLE products SET map_enabled=1 WHERE manufacturer_id=(whatever manufacturer you want);

If you are using prefixes you would need to change the table name, for instance zen_products.

you can change manufacturer_id to any of the other columns in the products table that will help you filter the products you want to change. For instance, if you use an identifying code as part of the model number you could put WHERE products_model=(whatever)

As always, you should back up the table before doing any modifications to it!

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

This add-on is called "MAP Pricing ( m.a.p ) : Add to Cart to See Price" it says "Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.6" .. I need to add MAP pricing (att to cart to see price) to my website, so if this will not work, does anyone know of one that will work? I have V 1.5.0 My website is https://www.stageandtheaterlighting.com .. Thanks!!

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

Make a back up of your shop and just try it out.

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

Thanks for your suggestion, but that's not exactly the answer that I am looking for. Though I really do appreciate the suggestion!! Sometimes there are unintended consequences, and I would prefer not to find out 5 or 6 months from now that something has not been working properly, I have been missing sales because of that, etc.. so,, if anyone knows within a reasonable probability of tolerance that it will perform as intended in the 1.5.0 version, or if it will not work properly, that knowledge would be my first choice.. if not, I will certainly take your advice and do what you suggested. Thanks!! ps.. I originally posted this in the wrong place..... sorry

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

As a courtesy I've taken a look at the code and simply updated it to work with the new version.

Updated for ZC v1.5.0:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=66

Do remember that this mod overwrites several core files, so if you've already customized any of the files that are overwritten by this mod, you'll need to redo (merge) those customizations.

This mod works great on 1.5.

One question though, is there any way to update it to where 'Sale Maker' won't discount from MAP, but the underlying 'price'?

If I create a sale on a category, some items have MAP pricing and the 'advertised' price is now minus the discount, obviously a no no.

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

Limitless:

This mod works great on 1.5.

Not so much on 1.5.1, it seems...

I have a fresh 1.5.1 install with CKEditor, EasyPopulate, ImageHandler4, and Zen Lightbox installed (none of which involve the files used by the MAP Pricing module).

MAP pricing setup for products in Admin seems to work okay, but once set, browsing the product's page reveals the MAP price displayed in red, along with the "For an even lower price, add to cart" text (e.g. $25 For an even lower price, add to cart.). When the item is added to the cart, the MAP price is not carried over, so the cart displays the standard, non-MAP price.

I even tried merging the MAP code into the ZC distribution files, but got the same results.

Has anyone else noted this behavior?

Um ... that's exactly how it's supposed to work.

"M.A.P." means "minimum advertised price", which is the lowest price the manufacturer will allow the storeowner to display the product for ... unless they add the product to the cart.
So, the Minimum Advertised Price would be perhaps $25.00, but when they add the product to the cart, it will be added into the shopping basket at the lower price of say $18.95 which is the price the storeowner is selling it for.

MAP is not the "cheaper" price. It's the "higher" price, and the store's main price for the product is the price at which the store will actually sell the product ... just like any other non-MAP-enabled product would be treated.

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

And after getting yelled at by numerous vendors, I have gone to straight MAP pricing, consumer be damned...

I understand MAP pricing, it just seemed a little counter-intuitive from similar products I've used in the past, where the MAP price was used as the lower, cart price. Thanks for the clarification.

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

I have just installed this on 1.5 and it does what it says. All good

The problem is that my store prices are in £ and display correctly without the mod. When MAP is used the price is prefixed with $.

I have looked it the new files and can't see where to change this.

Any ideas?

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

Probably need to change the $ symbol in the plugin's customised version of functions_prices.php:```
return '<span class="map_pricing">[B]$[/B]'.round ($map_price, 2).' '.MAP_PRICE_STORE_FRONT_TEXT_WITH_MAP_PRICE_DISPLAYED.'</span>';

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

lukemcr:

Hello All,

We are using MAP Pricing Module for an online store, and when the client enters in $2.50, it only displays $2.5

http://www.plantationimports.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_32&products_id=567

How can I get the 0 to display?!

Thanks for your help.

lukemcr:

The solution is here.

http://us.php.net/money_format

Can someone please explain exactly what the solution is? I'm not familiar with php coding.
From my understanding, something has to be added or modified in includes/functions/functions_prices.php

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

Ok I am using ZC 1.5.1 and when I install The MAP mod it works great except that in admin it removes my entire configuration menu so all I have under configuration is "Logging" I have searched and searched and am completely lost as to what could cause this. https://www.crystals-place.com

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

Anyone know how to fix the truncated zero?
$1.50 shows as $1.5 with this add on.

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

I just installed this mod (seemed to be one of the easiest I have installed) and then went into my admin/catelog/categoryproducts and selected a product to test it on. Sure enough 2 new fields were in my product edit page and so I selected "yes" to enable MAP pricing and then set a MAP price a couple of dollars higher than my net price. I hit preview and it showed me in red that "it will not display the lower price except in the shopping cart. Looked right to me so I hit the update button and tied out the product on my site. Didn't happen. I went back to the product editing page and the two fields were back to where they were before editing. I attempted this a couple more times with no luck. The changes I was making weren't staying. Any ideas?

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

I've just installed some jquery js on my site (datepicker calendar & faq-type display) along with COWOA. All is on v1.5.1. All worked fine before, now no prices show. In the source code it'll just show <span class="map_pricing"></span> with no price whatsoever. Any ideas?
