Percentage Pricing Attribute Module for Miva 5.5

[kenjb]

Hello all, We are a long time Miva user and have been using a custom module built by Sebenza to allow attribute percentage pricing (see link to example below). We have an uncomplied version from 2.2 and a compiled version from 4.26. We need a version for 5.5. Sebenza is no longer developing custom modules. Please post or PM us if you can create/update this mod to 5.5 We will be rolling out our new miva cart within the next week or so and need this mod to make it happen. Thanks

Attribute percentage pricing mod allows customer to select on dropdown menu for price, then select another drop down menu to increase price based on optional attributes.

Ken,

Hello. I would like to learn a little more about this project. My company, e-Business Express, specializes in developing custom Miva Modules. Could we setup a little time to chat about your situation? Please feel free to email me at: [email protected] or call (330)931-4428 ext.120

I looked at your example. Base price appears to be 0.00. Then the size has a fixed price associated. Then the shadow applies a percentage against the size attribute. Is this the same for every product? Or could the percentage be applied to a product base price. Is the percent value in a separate database or is it just using the attribute value. But instead of a fixed value, uses it as a percent upcharge. The reason I asked is you probably want to import the values from your 4x module.

Thanks for the response.

1. Base price is zero. Drop down menu always makes the baseline price.
2. Additional drop down menus do add or remove a percentage for options. This is true for all products.
3. It uses the attribute upcharge as a percentage instead of a fixed value
4. Yes we would like to import as much from 4.26 as possible.

What is telling miva to treat the attribute as a percentage vs fixed amount. A certain attribute code or what?

Bill,

The attributes have a value for each one. example .50 would be 50% extra. IM PM you an mv file for your review

Re: Percentage Pricing Attribute Module for Miva 5.5

But how does the module know that the attributes of product A are fixed value but the attributes for product B are percentage. Or are all attributes that have value a percentage when the module is used? The latter approach would be easy but not practical for most stores. Do you have the Emporium Plus Tool Kit?

Hi, I've written several custom modules to provide percentage-based pricing. You can see one of them in action at http://www.drapestyle.com/custom-silk-drapes.html. This page uses JavaScript to update the price display (next to the Add to Cart button) as you select different options.

I can probably provide a solution for you on a short time-frame. Drop me a line by email, and I'll hook you up.

I have a working solution in the Emporium Plus Tool Kit. To provide backward compatibility with 4x modules which did a similar thing, I am using the same trigger those modules used. So when you import your 4x attribute data into your 5x store, it should work without having to change your attributes.

The module also recognizes my volume pricing module which changes the base price depending on quantity of the product ordered. It also works with price groups, and even the price group manager module. You can also do bulk ordering with the shopping pad feature in the Tool Kit.

You can see it work by adding the product at http://www.emporiumplus.com/ZZZTEST.html to the basket. I'll probably have it documented and available tomorrow.

Bill,

We are finally getting to update our store. Will your toolkit do what we described in the initial post?

Re: Percentage Pricing Attribute Module for Miva 5.5

That was a year ago you asked about this. I think it does. Read the description of the function #146 at http://www.emporiumplus.com/1AA00223.html It is just one of the dozens of functions in the tool kit. I would imagine you are using the tool kit already if you are working on your 5x store.
