PayPal integration and custom price modifications

[kacie_23]

I am using virtuemart for a PayPal integration. Based on values in my cart, i am editing and modifying the values for custom pricing.

$this->cart->cartPrices

I am not able to modify the value sent into the Paypal Request Array, as seen in the picture.

I have found a possible clue in helpers/paypalstd.php in line 64: $post_variables['amount'] = $this->total;

And the helpers/paypal.php in line 158 : public function setTotal ($total), where the $this->total is set.

Additionally it seem that the setTotal is getting its value from the cart: $paypalInterface->setTotal($cart->cartPrices['billTotal']);

Since I did change the billTotal ([billTotal] => 287.266) in the cartPrices, this makes the problem even more annoying.

As an additional test i collected the VMModel orders, to check the Order_details:

Code Select Expand



        $curOrderID = $this->cart->virtuemart_order_id;
$thisOrderByID = $orderModel->getOrder($curOrderID);

$thisOrderByID['details']['BT']->order_total = $totalPriceEuro;
$thisOrderByID['details']['BT']->order_salesPrice = $totalPriceEuro;
$thisOrderByID['details']['BT']->order_subtotal = $totalPriceEuro;



This did not work either

Usually I have had great success when overwriting the values this way, and I assume that the values are written somewhere.
Where is this


Next step:

When looking at the order number i get from :

Code Select Expand

$order['details']['BT']->order_number

It changes when I am redirected to the PayPal plugin. If I press the back button, the new order-number I was looking at, is the new ordernumber.



It would be great if someone could help to provide an answer to this question, so that I can determine pricing based on custom values in the cart?


Thank you!

I think that the custom pricing problem is due to a root pattern price that all my products inherit from.
I removed this, and removed all the product prices. No pricing set at all.
Now ...... I am starting from scratch, and with zero prices.

When I try to press the Confirm Purchase button, I am not redirected to paypal due to a non-exixting price.
I am not able to set the price to Zero..... Why not?

I tried to modify the price in the cart based on

Code Select Expand


        $this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['override']=1;
$this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['product_override_price'] = $tempValue;


This did not work..

Then I tried to add a new price at 0.00000001, and adding a Custom Field type of "String, is input", and giving it a price of 5 Euro and a value "CutstomPrice".
Nothing happens....

Still a zero price when I try to press the Confirm Purchase button

Then I tried this ......

Code Select Expand



$session = JFactory::getSession();
$vmCartFromSession = $session->get('vmcart',0,'vm');
$vmCartFromSessionDecoded = (object)json_decode($vmCartFromSession,true);

Resulting in :

But of course.... the developer does not mention, where and how to enter a custom price, for the Cart......
This cart, similar to the entries in the SQL does not contain any prices.


Do anyone have a simple way of creating a Price, with some kind of modifier, so that the end price in the cart is easily and dynamically changed for the current session?

I belive this question have been asked 1000 times, without any good examples.

Anyone?

[pinochico]

what is custom price?

Why not put custom price right into product price and thinking about other solution?

I don't understand what do you want

[kacie_23]

Thank you for a quick reply pinochico,

I have a plugin that changes the price based on fabrication cost + 20%.
This price is collected from a helper.php in the cart (../cart/default_pricelist.php)

Then I need to modify the prices in the cart........

The reason why I did not change the product price directly, Is mainly because I do not know where.
I have tried multiple places, but without succsess:

Code Select Expand


        $this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['product_price']=$tempValue;
$this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['override']=1;
$this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['product_override_price'] = $tempValue;

$this->cart->cartPrices[$pkey]['product_price']=$tempValue;
$this->cart->pricesUnformatted[$pkey]['override']=1;
$this->cart->pricesUnformatted[$pkey]['product_override_price'] = $tempValue;


Nothing happens.


I finally got succsess with the  Custom Field type of "String, is input", and giving it a price of 5 Euro and a value "CutstomPrice".
Without any pricing, the final price was 5 Euro.

An entry in the custom data was : [96] => 12022
I have no idea what this means though..... where is this price located? In an SQL entry?

Code Select Expand


                customProductData] => Array
                        (
                            [20] => Array
                                (
                                )

                            [96] => 12022
                        )


But the main reason for not changing the price directly, was because I belived this will affect other users as well.
Even changing the Custom Field would probably affect other users. Or ?

And what if I change a Custom Field after the payment is done. Will orders collect the value from this custom field?
