Hi Darkwander,
it would make sense if there could be an link embeded below (say...products price) so the cusomer sees the option to have the oportunity to "deal" for the purchase.
Could you update such a option for people would not like to have the mod as a sidebox?...like me?
Great contrib Darkwander.....good marketing tool
(Thank you Scott as well)

I did that by reading trough Scott's "ask a question" 1.7 contibution.
There is an extended description how to have this option within the product detail.

So just to confirm you want the site box off and a link down near write a review to say something like "Report cheaper price"?

That is right...I managed it so far by NOT uploading the sidebox related files and by adding to the tpl_product_info_display.php:
<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_REPORT_A_PRICE, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . REPORT_A_PRICE . '</a><br />'; ?></b>
It would help if included with the contribution, to have the link within the product detail, either as text or image link.

Even turning off the Sidebox in the Admin panel will work just as well. As for the coding, i didnt think to add it because it wasnt something i wanted or needed. However if i ever update it, i will add it with the text file.

I put the mod into my test server - shows up under admin/layout boxes like it should - but it will not display on my site (regardless of template). the readme.txt file says that includes\templates\template_default\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php is modified, however, that file is not included in the download. Am I missing something? Thanks

Just to remind you, that it will only show the Sidebox when you are looking at a Product.. It won't show anywhere else.

Great mod, works perfectly. I have one question:
how to add another field to the reporting form. I wanted to add a mandatory Telephone Contact field - it is important for me since I'm restricted by manufactures to "publish" lower than they allow prices so my matching price offers have to be verbal.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks,

Great Mod, Anyway to add a gif Button in the sidebox or with the product display for price match?
Zen Follower
I've installed this mod and everything looks okay on the site, but when the form is filled in and tested no e-mails are received.
Anyone any idea why please?

I've uploaded the files as instructed (twice) but when I click on the link (report cheaper price) in the sidebox, I get "Page not found". Where did I make a mistake, any idea? :frusty: I'm using 1.3.7
thanks!

Darkwander:
if you go here you can see a live version on my site, however keep in mind it is an adult site, the link will take you to an adult online store.
To download click here
Darkwander and other fellow readers; I noticed a bug/fault in both Darkwander's webshop and mine, and probably on every webshop that uses the report a cheaper price module.
First, a question: Why doesn't report a cheaper price sidebox work when a customer is logged in but only as guest? (Notifications sidebox also for that matter..)
I've found a "bug/fault" in both Ask a question and Report a cheaper price, the bug probably has continued from Ask a question since Report a cheaper price is modified from it.
Anyway, it seems like the link are lowered down a notch, how I noticed it was that I wasn't able to press and tell a friend of a product, it went to report a cheaper price, and looking closer on it i saw that it linked to report cheaper price on the field tell a friend, on my site, the sideboxes are in this order from top right and downwards.
I will comment below how the report cheaper price has taken form to easier understand what I mean. This is the structure of my sideboxes on rightside from top down.
Manufacturers
(filter on manufacturer)
Search
(search on some string)
Information
(various info about company)
Report a cheaper price <- don't know if intended to work like it or not but report link doesn't work in this title.
(where you report the cheaper seen price) <- report link works here on this info
Tell a friend <- on this title report links overtakes and disfunctions the tell a friend.
(filloutform where you write your friends email and send him the info) <- on this title report links overtakes and disfunctions the tell a friend.
(info about tell a friend) <- on this title report links overtakes and disfunctions the tell a friend.
Notifications
(notification about the product)
Review
(write review)
Languages
(select your desired language)
Whos online.
(info about how many online)
This is how the bug/fault works on my site, but on Darkwander's site Ask a question disfunctions the report a cheaper price since it pulls the modules link a notch down and lands on the report a cheaper price-place, and report a cheaper price module goes all the way down and covers his currencies title.
I don't know how to solve this problem, hope someone does and writes it here..
And please write back aswell about how come the report cheaper price doesnt show when a customer is logged in..?
thanks

We are currently experiencing problem with the mod as it's not sending all the information provided by the customer. The mod works fine and emails fine but the email sent doesn't include the Store Details (store name, location/url and price.) This problem only happens when sending html emails.
Thanks!

Just wondering if its possible to not have this mod as a sidebox and have it as a link in the inforamtion sidebox as a generic form similar to contact us?

This is a good mod, only if I can get it to work. I am running ver. 1.3.8a of Zencart.
I see everything, but when I click on the link in info box, nothing happens. It also moves my right sideboxes to the left.
When I I click on the title link, it take me to my "Featured items" list.
I have checked and double check to see if I missed something and I am not able to find anything I missed.
Can anyone help me out???
Thanks in advanced.
