Attribute price doesn't show in shopping cart

I'm trying to set up a fixed-amount donation page, using attribute pricing on a single product. You can see the current version here:

http://www.liferingtest.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=21

The product, Lifering General Fund, is priced by attribute, has a price (on the product page) of zero, and "Product is free" is set to no.
Shipping is set up like this:

• Shipping address is required (we'll need to send the receipt)
• Special, product/download combo requires shipping address is checked
  The option name is General Fund Donation and is a dropdown. It has 3 possible attributes (donation sizes), $20, $50, and $100. This is all set up and working beautifully with one glaring exception: When I choose a donation amount and click on "add to cart", the cart shows the name of the donation, which includes the amount, but the cart total is ZERO. I'm sure this is something stupid. Here are the attribute values for the $20 level which is what I've been working with:

Option name: General Fund Donation
Option Value: $20
Sort order: 10

It also, of course, as $50 and $100 option values which I will correct when I get $20 working.

When I edit the $20 option value:
Price is $20.0000
Price Factor is 1.0000
Order is 10
all other values are zero or blank.
On the radio buttons:
Display purposes only: no
Attribute free when product is free: yes
Default attribute: no
Apply discounts: no
Include in base price when priced by attributes: yes
Attribute required for text: no

I just tried changing the "attribute free" button to no and it didn't help. I've almost got it, it's very frustrating...

Sounds like the Option Value name is $20 but you have no price in it ... or, did you inadvertantly put the price in as $20 rather than 20.00

I'm confused about how to enter the price. The price field in the Product page is 0.000. Here are the columns from the attribute display before I edit it:

#      name                  value   PrefPrice  PrefWt  sort  tot/disc  1time
5      General Fund Donation     $20   + 0.0000   + 0      10      $0.00 $0.00 

So price does seem to be zero. When I put just 20.00 in the Price box, in attributes, the display looks like this:

$20ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX+$20.00ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_SUFFIX

So I tried making the price box value $20.00 and it displays correctly but price shows as 0. If 20.0000 is the correct way to enter the price, how do I make the ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX etc. go away??

It would appear that your language files may be out of date or missing definitions ...

What happens if you switch to Classic Template? Do these go away?

These are defined, for example for the product_info page:

/includes/languages/english/product_info.php

Line #42 : define('ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX', ' ( '); 

Each product type has them ...

Actually, I switched to the classic template and the problem still exists. However, I'll take a look at that language file and see if I can set a reasonable value in the variable. What should it contain??

Um, never mind - I had a backleveled copy of the product_info.php file. That is now corrected, and the donation adds correctly to the cart, but the dropdown display looks like this:

$20 (+$20)

That's obviously the option name with the price in parens; is that the standard display? I was thinking it would just display "$20". Is there any way to make it do that or do I need to play with the option name?

Can you change the text on the Option Value so that the amount shows the amount and the Option Value name is something else?

Have a good day $20.00
Have a great week! $50.00
Have a wonderful year! $100.00

A little something to help $20.00
Feeling lucky $50.00
Really want to top the bank! $100.00

I'm working on getting appropriate wording from my business partner, but those are good suggestions - if he doesn't have any better ideas I may use them!

I was having the same problem, to hide price change in file includes/modules/attributes.php in line 118
//$new_attributes_price = zen_get_attributes_price_final($products_options->fields["products_attributes_id"], 1, '', 'false');

That's all

I had the same problem: no price displaying in the Shopping Cart. After checking in Attributes Controller, I discovered that I had not entered a value in the **Price **field. Yes, I'd removed the **"+" **in the preceding field, but the **Price **field was empty. So, I entered the price (example 10.0000) and voila!... the price now displayed in the Shopping Cart.

To remove the amount in brackets on your Product Page example $10.00 (+($10.00), this solution posted by snapworks works like a charm:

go to includes/modules/attributes.php simply replace the code in line 158 as follows:-

Original code:
$products_options_display_price= ATTRIBUTES_PRICE_DELIMITER_PREFIX . $products_options->fields['price_prefix'] .

New code:
$products_options_display_price= '';
