Is there any way to display the parent price as a range of lowest to highest of child product's prices?

Example: I have a parent product with 10 child products. Child products range in price from $1.00-$10.00. Rather than giving parent product a random price and hiding it on product flypage. Is there a way I could make the parent products price show $1.00-$10.00?

Thanks
Cameron

I am also interested in this, it seems many other carts can do this but virtuemart cannot?

Maybe we can recommend virtuemart team to add this feature in the next version.

Am also interested in this.  In the meantime, if I set the parent price to be the lowest of the child prices, I can't find the file to change product_price_lbl "Price:" to "Price From:"  on the browse page.  I realise this will aslo change the label on the product details page, but I'm not too worried about this as will just remove the price alltogether as it's displayed in the cart!  The other option I did think of was to add the to-from prices to the short description, but it's a bit of a pain when I change prices/discounts...

generally the labels are in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common

might be PHPSHOP_PRODUCT_PRICE_TITLE.

Dear All,

pls find here our solution for this problem for www.quality-tuning.com. It calculates and updates the price of all parent products' price in the database using the minimum price of all children. You can do this in the administration - we have added a new button for this (see attached). This hack adds also the text "From:" near the price of all parent products in browse and product_details pages. We believe a similar solution or same should be included in the standard VM version.

1. New files (See attached)
administrator\components\com_virtuemart\html\product.product_minprice.php
administrator\components\com_virtuemart\class\ps_calminprice.php
components\com_virtuemart\themes\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\common\minprice.tpl.php

2. Changed files

2.1 administrator\components\com_virtuemart\ header.php
After line 317: Add:
<hr />
<li class="item-smenu vmicon vmicon-16-editadd">
<a href="<?php $sess->purl($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?pshop_mode=admin&page=product.product_minprice") ?>"><?php echo 'Calculate Min Price' ?></a>
</li>

2.2 administrator\components\com_virtuemart\ html\shop.browse.php
After line 31: Add:
require_once(CLASSPATH . 'ps_calminprice.php' );
$ps_calminprice = new ps_calminprice();
After line 443: Add:
$minpriceid = $ps_calminprice->getminprice($db_browse->f("product_id"));
      if($minpriceid!=''){
         $product_price = $ps_calminprice->show_price($minpriceid);
      }

2.3 administrator\components\com_virtuemart\ html\ shop.product_details.php
After line 418: Add:
require_once(CLASSPATH . 'ps_calminprice.php' );
$ps_calminprice = new ps_calminprice();
$minpriceid = $ps_calminprice->getminprice($product_id);
if($minpriceid!=''){
   $product_price = $ps_calminprice->show_price($minpriceid);
}

Chris
