Dynamic Price Updater

azzoor:

Hi,

i just installed the newest version of DPU and for some reason the "Your Price $xxx.xx" is appearing twice. one where i have specified and another in the attributes between the add to basket and the last attribute. how ever when i look at the source code the second price is no where to be found.

address is Click here to see what i am talking about

never mind i figured it out :smile:

Hello,

I have one BIG problem and i need some expert help asap here, al my prices are showing 0. I have tryed everything in admin and still not figure out what is wrong. Our business have been down now for 3 days ....this is NOT good for us. Pleas help us

url is here

Pleas help!!:frusty:

Hi

Azzoor, I'm glad you fixed the problem :smile:... I couldn't get online until now

Johan, I can't see anywhere that you are using the Updater... However, I did check out your site

Now, my knowledge of Swedish is non-existent so I Google-translated 'Ring för prisuppgift' and, as I suspected, it means 'call for price'. You need to switch this off to allow the prices to show

To anyone else wondering where I've been hiding I can only apologise (I know, again!)... I do receive updates from the forum and try to help wherever I can but I am still struggling massively with workload and available time... If the issue is minor I will endeavour to answer ASAP but the more complicated issues (those with tax or sales, for instance) are having to be put on hold

Please do post if you have an issue and I will try my best to help solve it

Things are looking more promising this year already and I hope to be back at the DPU helm for a healthy round of updates soon

Before I go I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year

Is this mod still available ?.

The two provided links for download don't work.

Hi

My site is down temporarily... I've got the admin guys looking into it so hopefully should be back up and running in a few hours

edit Site running again... Damn good admin :smile:

Cheers

I know this one has been raised in #662 & I still don't get how to figure it out.
Besides the fact of a continuously spinning ajax logo, an alert box 'status returned - not found' pops up. Is that an issue of DPU or is the reason somewhere else to look for?

thanks & keep it up!

Hi

Do you run any SEO or SEF extensions? Quite frequently these cause some issues for the Updater

Can you send a link to your site? Feel free to PM it to me if you prefer

Dan

thanks Dan,

the shop is still on an internal maschine, no access from outside.
I don't have any other extensions installed. Just the current standard installation ....

Hi

A local server may cause the Updater to experience some issues... Are you sure the server is configured correctly? Updater sends an Ajax request to a file in the root of the site; can you open the file manually in your browser?

Without being able to check a few things the only thing I can say is install Firefox + Firebug, open the Firebug console, fire up the Updater and then check the URL to see if it's correctly formed... You can post the result here if you like but I can't guarantee I'll be able to help

Hi.

Is the most up-to-date version of the may 28th 2008 version? if not can you post the link the most updated version.

Thanks! I can't wait to try it out!

I've add the DPU and having one problem.

I'd need to keep the format of the sale price with the ORIGINAL price strike through, the SALE PRICE in red, and Save: 20% Off.

Right Now when the price updates is just displays the Updated price in regular font and the rest is gone.

Try it here:

Is there a way to remedy this?

Thanks!

Thanks for this great mod. :clap:

A small suggestion for a possible future release is to make it multi lingual

cheers Dan, I figured it out.
awesome mod!

thanks

Hi all

Rosp: Glad you got it working :smile: What was the issue?

Design75: Thanks! Hmm, multilingual... I hadn't thought of that... Nice idea, I'll give it some thought

BrooklynArtist: Unfortunately, the Updater doesn't provide the display style you require at this time... Currently, I'm having to devote all my time to a project with a quite frankly insane deadline... That deadline is the end of the month so I should have some more time to look into things then... If you need this functionality urgently please PM me so we can arrange something

Thanks to all for the support :smile:

hey Chrome. I appreciate the fact that you're busy. I'm trying to fix some thing up that I can be satisfied with at the moment just as it is.

Just one more quick question for you.

I was able to change "Your Price" to a red font "Sale Price:" just by replacing 'Your Price:' with '<span class="priceupdater">SALE PRICE:</span>', and then styling it in the stylesheet.

Is there somewhere in the code, though, that I can create a html/css tag for the dynamically updated price itself so I can turn it red also?

Thanks! I don't a lot about javascript but I'll read through the script myself to see if I can figure it out.

Hi

I notice you're using V1... That's not as efficient or customisable as V2... Also V2 is much better at calculating prices as it uses the native cart functions

With V1 I believe the line you're looking for is 316 in jscript_updater.php... You should be able to customise the string sent to the price element (it's been years since I worked with V1)

Let me know how you get on and good luck :smile:

Dan

I did come up with this! I changed 'Your Price' to 'Sale: ' and added a new definition under it

define('UPDATER_PREFIX_TEXT', 'Sale: ');
define('UPDATER_SALEMESSAGE_TEXT', 'Save: 20% off');

Then around line 316 I added in the HTML tags:

document.getElementById('productPrices').innerHTML = '<span class="priceupdater">'+'<?php echo UPDATER_PREFIX_TEXT; ?>'+ l + addCommas(newPrice) + '<br>' + '<?php echo UPDATER_SALEMESSAGE_TEXT; ?>' + '</span>' + r + (showQuantity ? ' (' + quantity + ')' : '');

The result is something very close to what I have styled BEFORE one selects and attribute. The only thing missing is the price before the discount with the strikethrough.

I can live with this for now.

BTW, can you point me to the download link for version 2?

Thanks, again for this awesome code!

Hi

The download for V2 is on the same page as V1 and featured in my sig... Installation is a tiny bit more tricky as there are 4 files but they are in the correct structure so essentially just upload them... Like V1 there is nothing to do to get it working as it will fire itself up... To uninstall V1 just prefix jscript_updater.php with an underscore and it won't run but will be there should you need it

Good job with the display :smile:... But if I might offer a suggestion: use <br /> rather than just <br>... The former is XHTML compatible

Dan

Hi Chrome,

Since I installed the mod the product price is shown in its normal place, but also on the bottom. Is this normal behaviour? How can I remove the price at the bottom. Has it something to do with TPP?

Hi

The second price bit was added for pages with a long description... It has a switch in modules/pages/product_info/jscript_ajax_updater.php on line 36 that says:

var _secondPrice = 'cartAdd';

Change this to:

var _secondPrice = false;

HTH
