Dynamic Price Updater

Hi Harri

Yay! Good first response... I will, of course, wait for other reports before officially submitting this

Very good point about the 'users online' section... I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned it before, well spotted :smile:... Before I submit this version I will try to add a GET variable of product_id so at least you can know which product they are viewing

Cheers!

Dan

Dan the Man!!!!

Brilliant, nice one. Works perfect on my side. I don't use Harri's function so can't comment there, but well done!

PM me your payment details, you definitely deserve a couple of pints.

Thanks, for the great mod.

Jay.

Hi Jay

Awsome! :D... I'll update a few things, including the vital info you provided and the very handy point by Harri, then I'll repackage and let the Zen Cart team release it

Jay, your offer is awesome :smile:... The Updater is always free (y'know, within limits :lol:) but if you think it's helped you enough then please use the link in my sig: I have a donate button on my Zen Cart page (if you despise Paypal then I'll PM if you insist, hehe)

Thanks to everyone for your patience, assistance, patience and patience (that list is in order)

Dan

Hi Dan!

Looks like you have don tons of work. I have to say sorry but I changed jobs and had to setup my new company before being able to finish my zencart setups :(

Anyway, can you tell me where to get the latest version and I'll give it a rerun..

Frans

Hi Dan,

thanks for the fixes! It look great to me!

This is a test url:
http://decals4all.eu/test/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=25

So I have it all working (the totals on the left seem to add the taxes of the attributes into the main item but maybe that is a setup I need to verify)
But total prices are correct.

I was just wondering.. As you can see I'm doing the dynamic conversion of currencies and it works ok for most fields except the fields changed by DPU. Was this something you are interested in looking into adding to DPU or not.. I 'm not sure and Absolutely NOT complaining! :)

Regards,
Frans

Hi Frans

I've taken a look at your site... Interesting that the currency symbols aren't being displayed... The only thing I can think to try at the minute is to open /dpu_ajax.php and navigate to line 7: ```
define('DPU_SHOW_CURRENCY_SYMBOLS', true);

Make sure that this is set to true and not false... If this is all in order, let me know and I'll look into it :smile:

Dan

Hi Dan,

Currency symbols are displaying... but look at the attributes and main product prices. They have in the original code the dual pricing (EUR and eg USD) but in the breakdown on the left and the new total prices (the part: Your price: €7,00 (1) ) they only show the correct EUR but not the USD or whatever the box on top right is set to.

you think you can incorporate this in your code? By all means I was not implying your great mod does not work!!!!! I love it!!

Cheers,
Frans

Hi Frans

Oooooohhhhh, I see what you mean... The focus of this update has been the 1% tax issue (as it could lead to really serious problems)

I do admit I forgot about the dual-pricing a little bit, but I have started work on it (the new uploaded package contains some spur code)... This is my new focus and spare time will be devoted to Dual Pricing in V2.03

Sorry for missing that

Dan

Hi Chrome I have a question for you. Is the module just for attributes? If not the problem with MSRP still exits. I Have read a lot of this thread and can not find a solution for it. I know you worked out the sale price to work with it. I never read were you found a solution for lankeeyankee. I know you are a busy person, but if you could find a solution for this I would appreciate it very much.
I have UN-installed the module until it is fixed.

What about the MSRP problem. Are you planning on looking into this? If not please let me know and I want ask anymore. Thank You in advance.

dan,

ABSOLUTELY no reason to say sorry!

This was a great update like you said it is fundamental!

You need to get some sleep instead of replying at nearly midnight ;)

How are this in the UK going? I had a great holiday in Colchester last time we posted.

Take care!!

Hi all

countrycharm, I've had to re-appraise myself of the MSRP situation and to be honest the last mention of it was c.2008... That means it was an issue that affected V1... Have you tried V2? If this doesn't work for you please provide complete details to refresh my memory (I do apologise for asking for this, I'm sure you are busy too)

I am dedicated to fixing all of the problems with the Updater

Frans, yes, Colchester is nice... Midnight is early! Besides, I have very little spare time and I like to support the Updater :smile:... Other than that, my part of the UK is as expected: Windy, cloudy and loud :lol:

Give me a list of what needs sorting and I'll get to it

Dan

Thanks a lot for the update, no more 1% error :)

Just wondering how to make the admin "users online" to show what product is viewed and not dpu_ajax.php? I see you've done some code for that, but it's not working in my store. Is there some settings for that?

Yes I have installed the latest version you just release. You can take a look at what it is doing at my product info page here. Watch my MSRP disappear. Thank You in advance for helping.

Hi

Ah, yes... I remember the MSRP issue now... Right, as I see it I have 3 definite tasks for v2.03... They are:

• MSRP issue
• Dual-pricing support
• Information for Who's Online

I'll get to work on these ASAP... If there is anything I've missed or if anyone wants to add anything please let me know

I'm going to alter the Zen Cart page on my site to track versions, detail current tasks and provide test versions... I'll post an update here when that is done

Cheers

Thank You very much in advance for you time and hard work.

Hi

Right, I have the first test install... I've addressed MSRP first as it is the oldest problem... This may have been a mistake because it's a tricky swine! :lol:

This version should

• Update the price and leave the MSRP structure intact
• Update the 'You save' price
• Update the 'You save' percentage

Also this version should be compatible with the normal products and sales etc. and make all the necessary decisions without any other changes or input

I've highlighted the word 'should' because my testing platform is pretty narrow... Also my testing time is quite tight... Add to this that the more complicated the Updater gets the more it seems to be plotting against me

I would be most grateful if anyone could try the new version[1] and let me know what happens

Cheers!

Dan

Hi

Update: the above download link should also now incorporate the 'Who's Online' feature (to at least show the product the visitor is viewing)

Thanks to everyone that tests! :smile:
