Variant Prices not Showing up

[Jaz]

I am having a problem with my Variants on all my products. Some of my variants have price mods. When I select a variant, the price is changed appropriately, however the price mod is not shown next to the option. There is no way for a customer to know how much the option is costing them. I have seen this working on other sites, so I am trying to figure out what I need to do to get it to work. I have searched the forum extensively and have not found anything.

The problem can be seen here:

Check the Quantity Option

If I need to manually add the price difference to the description, I can, but I figured there is another way.

Thanks,

Are you talking about the override option for variant price on variant manager.

He might be talking about either. Right now, the override or the modify price doesn't show up win the dropdown list for options so customer doesn't know it is extra price until they select it and the price display changes. It would be nice to have the dropdown something like
black
red (+10.00)
blue (+12.00)
If you have a code snippet change for that in the current version you could post here, that would be great. I've got one client who has been putting that into the name of the option choice, but if the price changes he needs to remember to update that.

Well this could be done. For this first edit the App_Code/ProductHelper.cs file and locate the following line of code in BuildProductOptions(Product product, PlaceHolder phOptions) method

Code: Select all

aspOptions.Items.Add(new ListItem(optionOption.Name, optionOption.OptionChoiceId.ToString()));

and make it look like

Code: Select all

aspOptions.Items.Add(new ListItem(optionOption.Name+" ("+optionOption.PriceModifier.ToString("ulc")+")", optionOption.OptionChoiceId.ToString()));

Now specify the price modifier for each choice, have a look at the screen shot below

That's great. I had experimented some, but that should do it.

I took that code and modified it a little so that no price change is shown if the varian is $0.00 and to better display negative numbers.

I am not a programer, but it seems to be working

Code: Select all

if (optionOption.PriceModifier > 0)
					   {
					    aspOptions.Items.Add(new ListItem(optionOption.Name+"  ( +"+optionOption.PriceModifier.ToString("ulc")+")", optionOption.OptionChoiceId.ToString()));
                    }
					else if (optionOption.PriceModifier < 0)
					{
					 aspOptions.Items.Add(new ListItem(optionOption.Name+"  ( "+optionOption.PriceModifier.ToString("ulc")+")", optionOption.OptionChoiceId.ToString()));
					 }
					 else
					 {
					 aspOptions.Items.Add(new ListItem(optionOption.Name, optionOption.OptionChoiceId.ToString()));
					}

Is there a way to do the same thing but instead to remove the " - ($10.00)" from a $10 product in a kit? I'm using a combination of variants and kits but don't like that the kits show the price while the variants hide the price. My preference is to use the option drop-down menus as a calculator that only shows the price change at the top and not on the menu itself.

Thanks in advance!

Thought I'd ask again...

Is there an updated version of this for v7.0.7? I looked at the original code you posted in there and it is different in 7.0.7.

thanks.
