Joomla 1.7.3, Virtuemart 2.0.0RC3, no multilingual, but installed english (of course) and german language files. Only add-on installed: Virtuemart and Viao.
So, what happened?
- I made one product with a basic price of 20€.
- I made a custom field: type "cart variant", name "size", default "30x50cm; 50x70cm;", is it a list "no", cart attribute "yes"
- I went to my product, to "custom fields", select an option "size" <- two times
- I filled in value "30 x 50 cm" and in price "0" - in second row I filled in value "50 x 70 cm" and in price "+10"
- I made a test buy in frontend, had chosen the product and from drop-down-list the value "50 x 70 cm", the endprice was okay 20€ + 10€ + tax.
- cart shows me ONE product is in cart and the price for this ONE product. All okay.
But if I look now in backend under product -> booked, ordered products it shows me, that TWO products were sold. I tried it a few times, always the same bug.
Another "little" bug: the "+" (from +10) is not shown in drop-downlist.
Sorry, that's because english is not my native language. I don't understand this:
QuoteYou cant for now override the price with a FIX price in the variant and we find customer know this are the price from variant.
Do I can oder do I can't? (you cant for now....)
What do you mean with "in the variant"
Where I can insert a "FIX" price
---------------------------------------------------------
The only way to make product variants is to do with custom fields. I have installed the example data and looked into the custom fields of "Circular Saw". The additional tovels are added as images, but they also have a "sum up" price and not a FIX price, that would REPLACE the bacis price. All prices - however I insert the numbers - either I write +10 or if I write 10 - are sum up to the basic price. There is no other way. Okay I can also deduct prices, but I never can REPLACE the basic price (this would be so great - I hope the plugin will do, when you have fixed it).
The "+" is not shown, but the "-" is shown:

and in frontend:

btw: It is not possible to insert images? I tried with [ img ] url [ / img ] and with [ img=url ] url [ / img ] and with [ img=url ] [ / img ] but nothing works. Maybe png files aren't possible?
Point 1 is the basic price (incl. Tax - but let us forget taxes in the moment)
And Point 2 are the custom fields (incl. Taxes). The last field of dropdown contains a "-" (customer can see, oh this price will be deducted from Price above [point 1], it has a Minus "-")
If I click on this minus-field the price above changes from 23,80€ to 11,90€ (23,80 - 11,90). It's a bad example. If the minus-price would be 16,90 the above price would change to 6,90€ (23,80 - 16,90).
Child products don't work for me. And also I can't see in example data any example, where they are used. I have read almost all threads here in forum about child products. But I never can make a relationship between parent and child. I hope for the plugin.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wow I found another bug: I wanted to switch the frontend language to english, for making the screenshots above, but after I had done, all products and categories were shown empty, as if they would not exist (in front- AND in backend), Switching only backend to english does not causes this bug: all products are present. Fortunately if I switch frontent language back to german, the products appear again.
I will now test, if this concerns to the joomla language plugin, it is deactivated. No. this changes nothing. Bug remains.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Further bug, and this is a worse case:
The required fields of registration don't work, like they should. Buying as guest (no account required), filling out the form, but wrong e-mail (I forgot the .de, I only wrote myemail@gmx ). You get an error message, but the order is done. The vendor can't contact the customer via e-mail. All messages don't arrive the customer. I will do further test with the form and will report here about the behavior of required fields if you have an account and so on.
