get Selected Attribute price

[mnkyhead]

There must be away to get the price from a selected attribute for a product with out using a module(well I have toolkit, so I could use that if I knew how).

I want to replace the price on the product page with that of the selected attribute option. I have done some searching on the forums, but didn't come up with any answers.

any thoughts?

Thanks

Russ,

Let me make sure I understand what you're asking.

Let's say product A costs $10 but when you choose Attribute A that adds $5 to the price? You'd like the price on the page to dynamically change from $10 to $15 if someone chooses that attribute?

Yes that is what I am trying to do.

This is built into our next release (Core 18) which is in Public Beta now. It'll be pushed out to everyone in the coming weeks.

Re: get Selected Attribute price

OK here is my solution in the mean time. This only works for the select option for attributes.
I am using Javascript to capture the label parameter of the selected item into which I placed the options price.
so I updated the select tag in the Product Attribute Template, adding the onchange param like this

<select name="Product_Attributes[&mvt:attribute:index;]:value"  onchange="getCombo1(this)">

Then I updated the option tags of the select adding the label parameter which holds the price.

<option value="&mvte:option:code;" label="&mvte:option:formatted_price;" selected>&mvte:option:prompt;</option>
        <mvt:else>
        <option value="&mvte:option:code;" label="&mvte:option:formatted_price;">&mvte:option:prompt;</option>
        </mvt:if>

On the Product Display Layout I added a if/else statement which checks to see if the product has a price. In the else statement I added a text input to receive the price of the attribute. For my store products only have attribute prices. The one issue I haven't worked out here is the default price for the product.

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:price GT 0">
<h5>Price:&nbsp;</h5> &mvt:product:formatted_price;
<mvt:else>
<h5>Price:&nbsp;</h5><input id="attPrice" type="text" style="background:none; border-style:none;" readonly="readonly" value="$10.00">
</mvt:if>

On the main product page I added some javascript to the head tag. This function is called when the select menu of the attribute is changed and a reference to the select is passed to the function. It pulls the label value of the selected item, and writes it into the input on the product layout.

<script language="javascript">
function getCombo1(sel) { 
    document.getElementById("attPrice").value = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].label; 
}
</script>

So My products only have one attribute, so it makes it pretty simple.
