Dynamic Price Updater

Hi

The reason this happens is because the Updater is Ajax-based and browsers request the dpu_ajax.php file. As far as I'm aware there's no way round this. It has been mentioned earlier in the thread if I'm not mistaken, but I don't believe a solution was found

Congratulations...worked first time.

Some observations on this version 3.1.1.

1. FFox with Web Developer flagged up a js error.

Warning: ReferenceError: assignment to undeclared variable updateSidebox

referrring to its first use here

        var sbContent = '';
        updateSidebox = true; HERE
    } else {
        updateSidebox = false;

So I declared it at the start:

  var psp = false;
  var updateSidebox;

2. Chrome flagged another error

Uncaught NotFoundError: An attempt was made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist.

Referring to:

objXHR.prototype.handlePrice = function () {
  var thePrice = document.getElementById('productPrices');
  thePrice.removeChild(loadImg); HERE

Changed this to

    if (thePrice.loadImg) {
  thePrice.removeChild(loadImg);
  }

3. I noted that the method of switching off of the sidebox code generation is not implemented. ie it still fires when the sidebox is not enabled in the Admin as

$show_dynamic_price_updater_sidebox = true;

is set manually in three places.
I did make some effort to make it work but lost interest when passing a variable into the class method, so just disabled the code in the three relevant places as I don't use the sidebox.

Thanks, I will add these to the next update asap

This is easier if superglobals is used to show the session variable only.

Scenario

Not logged in.
Go to a product and add it to the cart.
Go to another category and then a product.
The session, navigation object will contain two or three entries, but the last one has the current product_info page and id, and the second-to-last entry the category path as shown below.

Now go to the shopping cart.
The “Back to Shopping” button is not linking to the last product but to the index page and the navigation object shows why: the information is gone.

This is what is in the object.

This is what should be in the object.

What wipes it is the call to application_top.php made in dpu_ajax.php

As I have already spent a phenomenal amount of time tracking this down and there are a few things in this addon's code that I don't get, …I’m handing this over...good luck!

See attached file. How to fix price issue? It is appearing twice. Thanks

You can switch it off in configuration/dynamic price updater/where to display the second price . Just leave that box blank.

I don't see configuration/dynamic price updater in admin.

I don't see configuration/dynamic price updater in admin.

I've got the latest version of dynamic price updater 3_0_1 installed on zencart 1.5.1.In your admin panel,right over to the left ,there is a column called configuration.That produces a drop down menu,at the bottom of which you should see a box titled dynamic price updater,where you can change the settings.
If you don't see that,you haven't installed it correctly,so check your install.

Thanks. One more question. I have dynamic price updater, facebook pop up and fec checkout installed. All 3 of these have jscript files and all 3 files try to load when site is opened which make site speed slow, I was told I should have only 1 jscript file and other two I should rename so only one version load but when I do that module for which I rename file, it does not work. Do you know how I can make it to load one file and work for all so site speed does not slow?

Hi,

You should look for answers to this in a different thread.It's not really a question about this module.But have a look here.http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Customisation_-_Templates_-_Javascrip

* was told I should have only 1 jscript file and other two I should rename *
Not strictly true.
If any of these mods require the same code/library, ie a copy of jquery, then you should be loading only one instance of that.
If the code in the other javascript files uses the same variable names outside functions then they should be changed to avoid conflicts.

So to start, load the jquery with one jscript file, then add the second jscript file and fix any problems, then add the the third and fix the problems.
When all works you can combine the three into one file if you wish but not the jquery one, leave that loading separately and first.

Thanks for input. Can I send you file and you merge them for me as I am not good combining them?

Its working ok only for one time. Once that it stops working, i go into the admin console and the dynamic price updater status returns to false by itself. Any idea whats going on?

Hello all.

First post, just fired up my first zencart web store. I installed Dynamic Price Updater so that when options were selected they would reflect in the price right away.

I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed a significant loss in speed to their site when they install this plugin? After I installed it, it went from near instantaneous, to some times as much as 3-4 seconds for the site to load.

See my posts on top. I am having same issue. because multiple jquery files are trying to upload which slows site speed. I have not come up with solution. If you do please let m

Are you sure its jquery? I just did a file search for jquery and the only return I got was a template I'm not even using.

May I have your site?
