pricing

[tomg802]

Is there anyway to get attribute pricing to display on product pages?

And is there any way to display that pricing so the attribute price is added to the base price and then displayed?

I thought about using a custom field and I added prices manually to the attributes description, but these fixes only work out for the retail customer and confuse the wholesale customer?

I use Sebenza'a Product template module which allows you to have complete control over your attributes. You can see an example here:

And is there any way to display that pricing so the attribute price is added to the base price and then displayed?

Then I use Emporium Plus' Basket Combination Module


Hope this helps!

You also have the option of putting descriptive text in your attribute prompts.

For instance, if you have 3 items that add X amount to the base item price, set them up like this:

Option 1 (add $25)
Option 2 (add $40)
Option 3 (add $75)

And as Leslie said, Weiland's Basket Price Combination will combine the display in the basket and invoice. Dynamically changing the price on the product page however is a lot more tricky.

It can be done with Javascript. A simple OnChange event on your attribute drop down could trigger an updating of the text field showing the price. You'd have to modify the price display HTML as well as use some css too.

He mentioned not wanting to put the prices in the text though because his prices change based on retail/wholesale customers.

Is there a MM 5 token for attribute price that could be put in the name field so it gets filled in dynamically based on the price group the person is in?

From what I read, the entity of

<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />

Does not seem to be editable nor does it appear to be able to be broken down in to individual elements.

Perhaps Mark Hughes can elaborate on this.

It would be nice to be able to edit down to the individual attribute items.

I would also be interested in how you can have an attribute price reflect in price groups. Example a product list price is $100 and I assign this item to a price group that gives 10% off list price. This item also has an attribute that adds $25 to the price. So the price of the product displays $90 however the attribute remains at $25 and not at the price group price of $22.50.

Any ideas?

I just wanted to let you all know, I let Mark know about this thread and asked him to look in to it.



Thanks!

Thanks to those that have replied, on this issue it seems to me the only way I can get satisfactory results between my wholesale and retail customers display is to have duplicate categories with duplicate listings, forgoing the group pricing in miva all together.


I do have the basket module that combine prices fromSebenza, they are so vague as to what their mods do, can not figure out if they actually effect prices or just lay out.

Adding a statement that says add this price yourself to get the cost of a medium, large or extra large item is not an option. So I am using custom fields that display the price, this however mean that I have to enter prices manually, kinda silly when there is a database, but I can not figure out another way.

Are there there any places with examples of miva code, this would seem to be a basic issue, can't believe there is not a solution.

Have you attempted to contact Sebenza's support and ask them if their module does what you're requesting?

The Product Template Managers (http://www.sebenza.com/products/SS-PRODTEMPLATES5.html?a_aid=forum) Attribute Template feature has the option to display the price "dynamically".

Scott, would this mean that this mod will take the price of an item and add it to the attributes price and display the totaled price for each attribute and also change that displayed price if a wholesale customer logs in.


Is there a way to simply query the database?

[sebenza]

Here is an example of the Product Template Manager module using attribute prices as well as auto-updating the product price based on selection and qty. And yes, the attribute price is based on price group and etc ...

That's very nice.

The from is querying the database, is the $1.50 in the drop down pulled out of that database or is it manually entered?


Thanks

The $1.50 is dynamically generated from the databases.

Vic is correct. At present, one cannot edit the product_attributes item via either simple or advanced mode. Nor can one alter the values it displays via an item extension.

But there is a replacement :)
