Product Options Custom Field Dropbox Plugin (Updated)

[evano666]

 Hi BanquetTables.pro

Firstly, thank you for this awesome plugin.  I have around 500 products in the store I am developing so this is a MASSIVE time saver for me!

I do have one problem with it though.  I have setup a rule for colours using your plugin.  I had previously set it up using the standard custom fields way.

Using this previous method, when a colour variant was selected, in the cart, it would list this under the product - I.e
Chiro Support Single Set
Base Colour - Navy

Using your plugin is shows it as such -

Chiro Support Single Set
Base Colour

Is there a reason for this?

Many thanks

evano

ya, still not working for me.  I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.

If I use your previous version I see 2 lines of text, 1 being the headers of the custom fields (no values) and the other being headers and values (these are what are selected by the customer).  I've reviewed the custom field content and it complies with what you said regarding the formatting.  Unfortunately I still get the same thing.  If I upgrade to your new version I don't get anything but the custom field headers .. no values, no formatting.  So what am I doing wrong?

No, I think you might need to use "child products"

out of the question, i have hundreds of items maybe more then a thousand. i need something like a template or a plugin to just add it. i will add the products using a component that automatically makes products out of pictures u just put them in some folders and BAM! u have the products. i cant make 3-4 child products for every item.

i tried to use a form extension to add it as a sidebar module but i dont know how to get that form to change the price when i choose something. do you have any idea how to do that? point me to some direction at list?

Hi,
I'm having a frustrating issue getting this plugin to work. This is probably my lack of understanding . Here's what I'm trying to do:
1) Apply the same set of options to various products
2) Depending upon the option selected the price should be +/-

So, I've created a custom field of type: Plugin - VMCustom - Dropbox
Set it to be Cart Attribute
Set the options to be: General Waste,Soil and Bricks|-5,Soil Only| -5,Bricks Only| -10, Metal| -25,Cardboard| -25

When I save it the options are not saved 

So, within my product I add the custom field & enter the option values there:

These then appear on the front end, but selecting one of them does not update the price.

Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks & much appreciated,

Eddie

The "template" will not save the +20   etc.

It stopped doing that a while back.

It5 will only save

red,Greeen,Yellow

If you want to do the same attributes with variations in price.

Create an empty one,


copy and past into the product

Hi BanquetTables.pro,

As you may already know, your custom field plug-in is awesome but something broke it. 

I don't know if it was J2.5.5 or VM2.0.6 but the item chosen from the custom drop down list just doesn't show up in the cart.  I installed your plug-in today without problems and works as per your instructions except for that detail on the shopping cart.

Is there a possible solution to this?  I hope so, please update us. 

Thanks,

Hi BanquetTables.pro,
Thanks for your prompt response - much appreciated.

I have also tried to cut n paste into an empty one at the product level. While this show up on the front end, it does not alter the product price.

As you can see from the screenshots, the "Licence" field has 2 values: "Off Road, On Road|+35"
On the front end, the Licence field is there, with the 2 options, but selecting "On Road" does not alter the price.

There are two errors that that are output. The first is output to screen:

Code Select Expand

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$virtuemart_customfield_id in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bakers-live/plugins/vmcustom/drop/drop.php on line 61

The second can be seen via XHR firebug console:

I'm not sure if any of these are significant!

Any help is much appreciated.

Tried it. That new version of customfields.php did not allow any custom field to be added to the product.  (VM 2.0.6 installed and J! 2.5.5).

First backup your file.

THEN,

download the customfields.php
https://dev.virtuemart.net/svn/virtuemart/trunk/virtuemart/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/

JUST right click, ad save as php

and try the newest version.


I have no idea why it does not work,

ALSO:::::I am using J2.5.5 + Vmart 2.07

[EricaS0328]

Ok, my web developer kinda up & left me so I am stuck trying to figure out some of these things on my own now. I am using VM 2.0.6 with Joomla 1.5.20... I am stuck because I need to be able to add variables to almost every product I sell and every variable changes the price. I miss VM 1.0 dearly ((Sigh)). My website is www.nolafooddelivery.com if you want to have a look at the mess VM 2.0 left me in..

Where do I get this plug-in & can you tell me in lesser being terms how to install it, please?

Erica

P.S..
Any other helpful articles/information you think I need I would appreciate that too

Hi BanquetTables.pro,
Thanks for your earlier assistance. I overwrote the file as suggested but no progress I'm afraid.

I've also tried a different template but w/o success. So I've turned on debugging & here's what it reports:

With regard to this error/warning:

I add a debug statement to this file:

    * Eg. recalculate price by a quantity set in the plugin

    // public function plgVmCalculatePluginVariant( $product, $field,$selected,$row){
    public function getCustomVariant($product, &$productCustomsPrice,$selected){

                vmdebug('$product', &$productCustomsPrice,$selected); //ECM 21/6/2012

$pluginFields = JRequest::getVar('customPlugin',null );
if ($pluginFields ==  null) $pluginFields = json_decode( $product->customPlugin, true);

return $pluginFields[$productCustomsPrice->virtuemart_custom_id][$this->_name] ;//line 223

    }

The debug ouptput is as follows:

)

Array

Var2: 43


As you can see, [custom_price] is empty. So, altho' the option 'Cardboard|-25' has been selected, its not populating or being picked up.

Any suggestions where to go next would  be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Hi BanquetTables.pro,

is it possible to get the plugin to warn you or not let you add product to cart before you have changed value in the dropbox?
i.e. if I have the values : --Select--,XXL,XL,L,M .. it would promt the customer to change size if they click add to cart without selecting size first..

How is the default value supposed to work ? I set it to L, but in my product page I still see --Select-- as first value. I tried with XXL,XL,L,M but same result.

Thanks for a great plugin.

regards,

hollowGod
