Dynamic Price Updater

Cheers :D... I've figured out a way to bypass altering the template file... The second price will also be move-aboutable (you can tell it where to appear on the page)

Oh, one thing I noticed on your test site is that you are getting 2 £ signs when the price adjusts... Is this a problem with the Updater? If it is I'll look into it for you

Dan

Now there's a mystery!

When I first installed it, there were NO £ signs after a change, so I edited the UPDATER_PREFIX_TEXT to include a £ sign. My client then informed me that he could see 2 £ signs, so I removed my edit...and then I couldn't see one at all.

So I put the edit back in, and that's the file currently on the test site.

It doesn't matter whether I view in FF or IE - I still seem to see one less £ sign then other people?? :huh:

Hi

Ryk, I notice the double currency symbol only shows up when the price is altered which means it is a problem with the Updater... I'll look into along with the other 8 thousand problems with this mod :laugh:

I've uploaded an updated version that includes the secondary price display... It is turn off and onable but only has 2 settings (on permanently or off)... Getting it to show up only when the price has been altered is more tricky than I thought... There are comments in the code as to how the settings work (on by default and set to appear above the 'add to cart' box) and I will update the readme as soon as I have some time

Unfortunately, the first 2 problems your initial post mentions can't be fixed in this incarnation of the Updater... They WILL be fixed in the next version (which I will start on as soon as 1.3.8 is released :smile:)

As always the Updater is at http://chrome.me.uk/PriceUpdater.zip

Excellent - keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

Hi Chrome,
and other users :)
I am from Portugal, and here the currency is euro (€). I installed the price updater on my site, zen 1.37, wth lightbox, image handler2,pc configurator and so mutch more modules and fixes that i find usefull to include on the website mechanics.
I have many problems with this module, the first one the currency, i want to change it to euros(€) but i can't find the UPDATER_CURRENCY_SYMBOL variable in the code... should i creat it?
Other problem is the value in itself, the price with a custom atribute is showed "59,169.00" insted of "591, 17€"... with the same error text message of lankeeyankee - "undefined(price)undefined(quantity)".

My log is:

Also another issue is, how disable the bottom table generated by the dinamic price updater in every product?

I instaled the last version of the module, i found it on the threat #83.

You could see this on here

Thank you for the suport, you have done a great work on the code, and created a "must be" on zen cart basic featurs.

For me it is doing the same...I dont understand it..it was OK, and after I changed default language and currency it is broken....

Hi

Sorry for taking so long to reply

I've been studying this and I think I know the problem

Unfortunately it's not an easy fix... I'm going to research this more over the next few days

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the feedback

Dan

:bigups:AWESOME MOD!!!:bigups:

I am new to Zen Cart, but I am learning. I added this mod to our site and it works almost flawlessly. I see that in other posts, you have addressed the issue of multiple currency signs. I am seeing something a little different.

If I change an attribute of an item to one with a different price adder, everything goes just beautifully. If I change the attribute back to one with no price adder, the Dollar Sign goes away.

??????

Hi

Can you post a link?

Cheers

Dan

Dan,

The link is at:

http://www.ikonprint.com

A little history....

I am not using the side box, just the dynamically updating "starting price/your price".

The best way to show you what is going on,

1.) pick brochures on the left

2.) look at starting price

3.) choose "gate fold" from the folding options dropdown

4.) the starting price changes to your price and everything is cool

now...

5.) choose "tri fold" and....poof....no dollar sigs!

6.) choose "double parallel fold" and....poof....they are back!!!

Thanks for the quick response

It is possible to use priceupdater not only for radio select but also for dropdown?

I am using it for dropdown choices, and it works very well.

I'm having issues with Radio buttons and attribute images. As you suggested, it must be an issue with the attribute name as the Number 1 style for Radio display sort of works but any style after that does not. It's how the attribute name is displayed in accordance to the attribute image.

It would also be nice if the updater worked with the Quantity box. Then I could price one unit and the quantity box would multiply the price.

Other than that, awesome mod. Definitely should be a core feature.

Hi

Sorry I've not had any time to work with the Updater over the past few days (or even to respond on here)

miweb if you have a page that you can link to that you are having trouble with I can try to quick fix it :smile:

ebscreen thanks :D... Odd, the Updater certainly should work with multiple quantities... Can you link me up? I'll have a look... It would help also if you could turn debug mode on (there is a post about it somewhere on the thread but if you can't find it let me know)

Thanks for the feedback

Dan

Dan,
Please don't strain yourself, you have made a wonderful contribution as is.
I just started looking through the file, and noticed that:

var showQuantity

had been set to false, hence I wasn't seeing quantity updates.

Still working on the attributes/image problem. I currently have it set to "dropdown" with images shown below. It works, but can be confusing to customers.

Thanks again.

Hey, I've been setting up this module on my store and I've have a couple questions.

• The first on is with Quantity Discounts, the store is calculating the quantity discounts properly in the shopping cart but the Price Updater does not recognize when a quantity falls within a discount range.... ie: 1-2:$10; 3-4:$8, it doesn't go down to $8 when they enter in 3 or 4 in the quantity.

(i noticed this isn't working on your site either, is there a solution for this?)

• Second is with the radiobutton attributes.... i swear it was working earlier but now the radio button attributes aren't working at all! Can you please take a look at this and see if you can figure out what I may have done wrong?

Thanks for you help, this is an awesome module. Just figuring it out.

ps... roll over the options tab to play with the attributes.

Danny

Hi

Sorry for taking so long to reply

There has been no headway as yet into the discounts portion of the script... Unfortunately time hasn't been on my side

There is definitely an error on the page you linked me too... Would it be possible for you to activate the debug mode for the Updater?

I hope I'll at least be able to help you with the radio boxes

Cheers

Dan

Hi Dan and other followers...

I needed help that i decribed on threat 85 of this post, but still not any ansewrs.

I disabled the module because it was a rubish on the store and make the costumers in mistake, the prices were all wrong and the currncy was not euro €.

Could anyone help me on that.

Thanks for all.

Diogo Paiva

Hi

And again sorry for taking so long to reply

Diogo I think that may be an issue with UTF-8 characters outside the standard A-Za-z0-9 configuration but I'm not entirely certain

I'll do my best to have a look as soon as I can (I have checked your site and can see the error)

As soon as I have any news I'll post here... Feel free to leave me a message to nudge me if I seem to be taking ages :smile:

Dan

Hi Dan,

I found out what has been causing some of the problems that some folks are having. Namely "undefined" appearing instead of the currency symbol, the prices not changing, and the broken sidebox. It is Lightbox.

I installed on a fresh install of 1.3.7.1 and it works flawlessly. So I figured that there must be conflict with other javascript and installed Image Handler 2. Price Updater still worked flawlessly. I installed Lightbox 1.4 and it went back to all of the errors I have been experiencing. I hope this helps you, or someone who knows enough about javascript, to resolve the conflict if at all possible. Do you have any idea off the top of your head whether this can be resolved or are they simply incompatible?

Another workaround I figured out, when an attribute is priced at $0, the updater wouldn't reselect that attribute if you selected another one and then went back to the $0 attribute. In attributes controller the price has 4 decimal places so put .0001 in the price column. This will only work if you have the + indicated in the box next to it. Other attributes don't need the + to work, only ones priced at less than .01. You can see this in action with multiple attributes at http://musicalinstrumentsource.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1

Thanks for this brilliant contribution! I hope that this info can help shed some light on getting it to work with Lightbox since I really need to use them both.

Matt
