Dynamic Price Updater

:smile:Thanks to everyone who helped with their suggestions and advices. Finally got my store up and running. Almost finished with the tweeks. I do have one question. Is there a mod that will allow business to business customers to NOT be charged taxes (if local) for what they purchase IF they sign an agreement that they will be resposible for paying said taxes. Like if they provide proof that they are a legit business in and of themselves. Or is there a setting that I'm missing in the current setup of zen-cart? This would be a great addon for the Dual-Pricing mod.

I'm having a little issue with implementation... I uploaded the files, and the loading .gif shows up, but the page pops up an error message dialog that says "Status Returned - not found"

You can see for yourself here:
http://showcatcentral.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2&number_of_uploads=0

No idea what I'm doing wrong, but as you can see I've customized the template quite a bit... Any ideas? Thanks!

ppsoyal:

really thank you very much for your interest.

OK, i´m copied the code you post in tpl_modules_attributes.php, and change attrib-2 by attrib-1, that I found in my source, but I think i´m doing something wrong.

This night I will be online waiting for your help about 22:30 pm.

thanks thanks, I think solve this can give other users a perfect tool for this superb cart. ;-)

See you tonight

First of all, thanks for such a practical module. I'm having the same problem with attribute images being displayed upon selection. I've got a custom t-shirt site and this is a critical function of the site, not to mention the countless hrs that are spent generating images for every design on countless products and colors. I tried as instructed to no avail. I'm on the most recent zen and also using a template that's been modified quite a bit:
http://www.templatemonster.com/zencart-templates/21755.html

I'm sure there is similar code to be altered but don't know where to look. Thanks as always for all your thoughts.

Is this due to a miscommunication between two files? Maybe between the following module and DPU:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=994

Path: ...\includes\modules\your_template\attributes.php

or is the editing to be done found in the DPU jscript_ajax_updater.php file? I know very little about PHP, and there are dozens to look through. Thanks again.

template monster templates are crap. they dont validate xhtml or css

I'm sorry for being ignorant. The code that the validation shows me is completely different than when I open it in Dreamweaver. I used the developers toolkit and searched for div class="clear" in all admin/catalog .php/.css/html/txt files.
Every file I open looks completely different than what the W3C markup shows me for the index.php file in my root directory. This would probably be a great tool if I could figure out how to use it properly. Thanks.

I'm hoping this can help us.

Hi all

Firstly I need to apologise for being away from the forum thread for so long; it's unforgiveable but it has been quite a year

In the next 2 hours or so I'm going to be uploading a new version of DPU that will hopefully address the incompatibilities with MooTools... As soon as it's online I'll post here

I haven't yet had a chance to scan the thread for other issues but rest assured I am doing so... If anyone has a repeat question they'd like to respost please do so as I don't want to miss anything catching up (there's probably quite a lot)

Again I apologise to everyone who is having problems and promise that I have renewed my efforts to support the Updater

Cheers!

Please don't apologize. All your hard work is greatly appreciated. I just sent you an e-mail to my site per request. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon. :lookaroun

Hi

As promised I've uploaded a newer version of DPU to my website... Here's the link

http://chrome.me.uk/DPUv2_MTC.zip

For now I haven't replaced the original DPU so just use that link... Currently, the newer version is only to mitigate conflicts with the MooTools library

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me test this new version... While I wait for feedback I'm going to start bolstering the routines used to derive the price (like the tax issue and certain discounts)

Watch this space!

Dan

P.S. The only file changed in the archive is includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php so you can choose to either upload that file alone or unzip and upload the lot... Either way should have the desired effect... Of course, if it doesn't please let me know

Gotta quick question:

How can I have the DPU show the price when a item is sold out? When the page is refreshed, the price shows at first until the DPU kicks in, then it goes to all zeros.

Great mod...I absolutely love it and clients do too!!

Hi Chrome, and congratulations for your work.

My real problem with the DPU is about the main product image replacement module, that I have also installed.

For example I have a guitar with various colors and different prices for each color, and I would like that when customer select via attributes a diferent color with different price, the main product image and the price change to show this option.

Can see an example here:

http://multisononline.com/fender-classic-player-jaguar-special-rw-5429

As you can see the price change, but not the main product image, if I disabled DPU, the main product image change when the attribute change, but not the price.

Do you know how can I resolve this?, is really important for our website. Thank you

Well... I crossed my fingers, hoped and wished the new version would resolve the conflict that we're all having between these two modules. It didn't. I was really hoping this would work because I really like the DPU. I think it sucks otherwise. Your customer has to get a calculator or go to their shopping cart to see what their product actually costs? Thats retarded, and the DPU solves this. I'll continue to subscribe to this thread, but I'm going to try and find an alternative, after I see if winmerge or the like can't point me in the right direction. I'm a php novice so, if the author can't figure this out, I doubt I will.

Hi

Hmmm, seems there's a Javascript Ajax conflict that isn't MT related... I'm investigating

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yess, is really a good job and the functionality with image replacement will be perfect :D

LOL! I tried using winmerge and had know idea what I was looking for, or which file to replace or alter, if at all. The only two files that have the same name is the attribute.php file. Those two files are in two different directories. I think winmerge is more suited for comparing two files that are trying to accomplish the same task(s). I'm going to start looking for an alternative and report back my findings. If anyone else knows of how to update the displayed price upon selection of an attribute, PLEASE let us know. I'm truly baffled by the idea that this is not a preexisting function of zencart.

Hi

Just to let everyone know that I am still working on this... I know I've things slide in the past but I'm back on it now :smile:

I haven't had as much time as I'd hoped to work on the attribute image replacement bug as I'd hoped but I have started and have a few ideas... I'll be working on it over the next few days

Cheers

Saweeet! I can't wait. I updated to the latest zen with no problem and can't wait to start marketing my site as soon as I get over this hurdle.

This guys been coding for 20yrs and He's saying that ZenCart IS capable of dynamically updating a price based on it's attributes. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm on a strict budget with development and I don't want to shell out hundreds if I don't have to.
