MSRP contrib

While I understand RRP, I would like to know what the letters MSRP actually stand for.

It would be convenient if the answer was given on the mod download page.

TIA.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price.

Hi this might be an obvious jigging of code to some but just wondering whether it would be possible to accomplish the following using this module

Basically we are a wholesaler and sell items usually in bulk e.g.

Price: 8.88
Product Code: ODRL6016
Delivery/Shipping Weight: 1kg
Brand/Manufacturer: Oatfield
Product Count per Box: 24
Recommended Retail Price per Unit: 0.60 

The Coung and RRP file are extra product fields. I want to display to the buyer (i.e. the retailer in this case) the POR (profit on realisation). I thought that perhaps the MSRP mod could lend itself to this. Therefore the POR would have to take into account that the actually unit price is 8.88/24 = 0.37 per product. But the VAT has to be included here too as the RRP includes the VAT. This would bring the unit price to 45.5p and thus the Retail Profit is 33%. As wholesalers this is one way of promoting sales by attracting buyers based on their potential profit margin.
So just wondering if anyone had any ideas how to re-jig this code to do this or is there another module out there that might be more suitable. Lot in this I know but may be someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I installed this on a clean 1.5 install. It seems to be working. Not being intimately acquainted with the inside workings of ZC 1.5 is there anything I should be checking to make sure I haven't missed something?

This addon was found by another ZCer as a possible fix for my situation. And I came to find out if it was working on ZC v1.5 ... guess not too many have implemented it.

ZeroGravity - please keep us abreast as to if you do or do not encounter problems with this mod.

I currently have on the v1.5 cart the following mods - will I encounter any conflicts?

a) Monthly Sales and Tax Summary Report
b) CKEditor
c) Image Manager (similar to Image Handler, but less files)
d) Column Grid Layout

Sorry for not posting back with my experience. I put it down to baby fog!! A three week old is really playing havoc with the sleep patterns.

I installed the plugin on a development site and it seems to be working. My client has gone in and added all the MSRPs. They saved and are showing on the site. If little green monsters start to appear I shall let you know.

Other plugins currently on the site are.

1. CEON SEO URL's
2. Zen Lightbox
3. CKEditor
4. Backup MYSQL

Congrats on the newborn! :clap:

I think I'll go ahead on install this addon ... just hope there's no problem. :lamo:

Ok, I have installed the addon. No installation problems or errors ... onto the new ZC 1.5 cart.

In the following link, you can see we originally had the List price and Our price on the same line (pure HTML site).

Now ... we want the List price and the Our price on the same line in the cart also. I think we can delete the You Save part.

Since the addon files did not touch the product info template ... and the CSS provided is limited - where can I go change the layout?

Thanks for the Congats beyre. I believe I will start getting some sleep in about 18-25 years. :shocking:

I have extensively edited tpl_product_info_disply.php adding some divs to help with the CSS. Along with the help of the divs I have modified the standard smalltext1, save and norm classes that are used by MSRP.

Failing that I think you will find what you are looking for in includes/function/functions_prices.php. If my line numbers are correct, about line #294.

Thanks so much. You've done really well on that site thus far. :bigups:

I'm stepping out now on some errands, so I'll give that editing a whirl tonight or tomorrow. I did do "some" editing since last posting, but still need to get those pricing all on the same line for our purposes.

Darren,

Thanks - got the layout as we originally had it. Thanks for pointing me to the functions file ... I would have overlooked it.

OK, so maybe this is a dumb question........
I went through the whole process of installing the module, but I'm not sure if it worked.
Where, in the Zen Cart Admin home, do I find the module to change the prices?

Thanks

OK, so I found it. It is there when you edit a "general product" Most of my products are "music products" (I have both). The option does not show up for them. Does any one have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Ok, I figured that out to. I had to install the files into the php music products also.

Yep. That's a trap for young players. It took me a while to work out that you need to install the plugin in all product type files. The site I am working on has a lot of products that are set to a product type of "Free Shipping." I couldn't work out why the MSRP was showing for regular products but not the free shipping ones.

HELP! :shocking:
This is what I get for trying to do it myself :(
OK, so when I did that, I lost my music genre selection and what ever else is different when you select music product. When I go to enter a music product into the catalog, it looks just like the general product form. Does any one have any idea how to fix that without having to reinstall my backup & starting over?

Thank you!!

** Retail Price: £449.99
You save: £100.00 (27%)
Our Price: £329.99**

can you spot the error above??

post this a while ago and still no fix... any help??

Loads of ppl here say they have it installed on 1.5.x and working.
But, I have not read any posts from people that stated they updated the four core files to keep the code in line with the changes between 1.3.9h and 1.5.x

I use my updated version on all my sites, works sweet... no of these errors / problems I have read about here... so I have uploaded an up to date version to the add-on section. I am guessing it will take roughly 20 to 30 working days for it to appear, If it doesnt get rejected like my last add-on hahaha

SHABBA

You didn't do the merges correctly.

You need to start with a current version of the file, and then add your changes on top.

If you compare your copy of admin/includes/modules/update_product.php with a fresh copy from Zen Cart 1.5.0, you'll see the changes you're missing.
Same issue with admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php.
Same issue with ./includes/functions/functions_prices.php.

Hi, I am just seeing if anyone has any thoughts on the above again. I notice swguy is on this thread, so if there's something that can be tweaked in this mod, he'll probably know if it can be done.
thanks guys.
